The refs were both autistic and biased, not a good combination. We absolutely deserved to win this game and got hosed by the zebras. Whole different ball game if it was called fairly

Re: What Are Your Gameday Routines?

For most of this season, my dad would walk out of the room during close games with around 5 minutes to go. He would explain that this is the point where URI would choke the game away; and he was usually right.

Oregon has a top 10 RPI. One of the best teams in the country. With that being said, can't wait to watch Hass swat Dillon Brooks into the 3rd row at the buzzer as URI advances to the Sweet 16.

It seems like most bracketologists are consistently giving VCU a better seed than URI, despite similar resumès. URI and VCU both have 3 top 50 wins, and 9 top 100 wins. VCU is 9-5 vs RPI top 100, as opposed to URI being 9-7 vs top 100. BUT: URI has beaten VCU TWICE within the last 10 days. Does that...

Last week, we were doubling Gibbs during the latter part of the game, forcing him to give up the ball. I like that strategy. As good as Aldridge is, Gibbs is the guy who could go off for 35-40 and beat us. Of course, you can't ignore Aldridge, but make somebody other than Gibbs beat us. Aldridge dr...
