FSU is incredibly turnover prone (as is every Leonard Hamilton team) and has real issues with giving consistent effort. That Princeton game was an example of that. Harvard was as well (Harvard's a solid team, but FSU really did not try very hard in that game.) First Leonard Hamilton team I can recall like that (05 FSU team to a lesser extent.) When you are as bad as we are offensively, you can't afford to give less that full effort, or you can lose to anybody.

Looks like the light bulb turned on though. No doubt we'll be laying an egg here real soon but this has been an awesome stretch.

Tonight's Illinois v. MSU game may just be the worst basketball game I've ever watched.

Both teams had a hard time getting to 40 - not in the first half mind you, in the game.

SLU needs to win this one at home if they want to keep their hopes alive for a good seed in the tourney.

Wisconsin is unwatchable- 5 for 27- 3 point shooting and too slow to get past Ohio State's defense to get inside.

Dayton must think that counts for 4 to be shooting from so far away. They should keep running that play where somebody airballs a 3 to a guy under the basket
Make your FTs when they foul you SLU.
I'm so angry that I have to watch Luke play for one more year

Ethan Delaney is going to have some fun tonight.

It's weird how generic college basketball crowds have become.

Purdue is more unwatchable than Scoonie--TWENTY f@#$ken percent shooting in the first half, 0-11 from 3-point land.... all at our formerly impregnable Mackey Arena home court

Losing to Clappy McTanningbed and IU is proof positive that Purdue will likely be home watching the NCAA's this year.

I was starting to think the Hoosiers couldn't win on the road, but nice (for me) to see them disprove that. Wish I could've watched the game.

I'd rater eat a pus sandwich than credit IU, but they were amazingly poised; the supposedly "veteran" team (Purdue) played nervous basketball all night long...the effort was superb, but there was zero awareness and smarts from the home team.
