Re: Game #35: Oregon (NCAA Tournnment Rd of 32) - Sun March 19

Cmon Rod Iverson made some good blocks and grabbed some good rebounds but Martin and often langevine when he played were better at it. Iverson had a whopping 16 rebounds over the past 4 games. Martin had 19 more despite not grabbing a single rebound vs Oregon Langevine grabbed 30 despite playing way...

Did no one else notice the Oregon player touched the ball out of bounds with a few seconds left? It should have been reviewed even if our chances were pretty slim.

Re: What Are Your Gameday Routines?

At some point between 18:00-5:00 mins left in the second half I go outside to have a cigarette to calm my nerves a bit usually after the opponent has had a bit of a run.

I was only 9 or so at the time, but the hate Anderson got from some URI fans at games was unbelievable. Granted, the way he would always takes soft layup/2 footers instead of attacking the rim was very frustrating.

I honestly thought he had a shot at the NBA by the time he graduated however.

Not every guy we recruit will fulfill his potential. Adding another guy who was a too 100 recruit a year ago would be a no brainer. If Terrell and Garrett excel it's a good problem to have too many good guards.
