Tuesday Night NCAA Basketball Live Thread

0	Ohio State is coming back against Miami, which is going to be a necessary win for the Big 10 if we don't want to embarass ourselves.

0	Well, Iowa just down 1 also...maybe this is the year...(not really hopeful.)

0	Andrew Brommer fails.

0	I actually think that the Big 12/Pac-10 Hardwood Series is a better series than the ACC/Big 10 but since ESPN doesn't have it, it isn't as publicized.

Do they actually have 10 match-ups or is it like the Big East-SEC Invite where there are only a couple of games? I suppose the fact that I have to ask proves your point about how publicized it is.

BIG 12/PAC-10 HARDWOOD SERIES

Thursday, December 4, 2008
Oklahoma State at Washington
UCLA at Texas
USC at Oklahoma

Friday, December 5, 2008
Arizona at Texas A&M

Saturday, December 6, 2008
Baylor at Washington State
Oregon State at Iowa State

Sunday, December 7, 2008
Kansas State at Oregon
Nebraska at Arizona State
California at Missouri

Outside the four-day series window
Colorado at Stanford (Sat., Nov. 29, 2008)
Kansas at Arizona (Tue., Dec. 23, 2008)
Texas Tech at Stanford (Sun., Dec. 28, 2008)

Since there is an imbalance in the number of teams in each conference, to allow all of the Big 12 teams to play a Pac-10 opponent, Arizona and Stanford are doubling up and 3 games will be played outside of the series window.

0	Dickie V is doing the Duke game? Here I thought he was going to be at the Barn vs. Virginia...

0	Purdue can't even hit the gimmes tonight. Also, there's a decent chance Duke murders a Purdue player on the court tonight and nothing gets called.

Dickie V actually said that. I think if I was trying to say that Duke was a good team I'd start with Gerald Henderson and I know I'd never bring up Gregory Paulus.

0	My God, Purdue sucks. Duke isn't even playing that good and they're killing the Boilermakers. Hummel is getting owned inside by Singler, which is pretty sad.

12/2/08

0	Hey Vitale, you are right. The game is bigger than everything, you included you self severing douche bag. /end rant

0	I don't know who these announcers are at the Barn, but whoever it is that screams "Wow" after every dunk is really getting annoying quick.. And Blake Haffarber still is a god from deep...

0	Karl Ravech and ESPN needs to remember that he only knows baseball. There is no reason he needs to have a job during the winter unless it's MLB hot-stove news...

0	If Purdue beats the Badgers this year I will be thoroughly embarassed. They are awful. Robbie Hummell is being owned by Kyle Singler on the boards. Duke is only playing average and just destroying Purdue at home. I'm trying to figure out how this same team took Oklahoma to OT but can't come up with anything.
