What time will it be played? I've looked around, and can't find the gametime.

Approx. 4:50.....30 minutes after the Memphis-Maryland game ends, which starts at 2:20.

Figure this as good a place to post this as any....
Feeling much better about our Sooners after last night. It isn't that they beat Morgan St., which they should have been able to do in their sleep, it's the WAY we played. I really liked some of the things Capel did. Interesting that Patillo and Leary both entered the game just three minutes in....and we immediately began pressing and trapping on defense. I think this was a nice change and also seemed to keep Taylor fresh--- Taylor wound up having one of the best games of his career, by the way.
Blake was ridiculous, as we figured he would be. But the thuggery thrown his way is just absurd. That was one of the most blatant cheap shots I've ever seen. One of these days Blake just might retaliate, and I don't think the results will be pretty.
Our defense last night was extremely good for the first time in weeks. Our guards kept their guards out of the paint and we closed out on the shooters-- it did help that Morgan St. couldn't throw it in the ocean, but either way, our defensive pressure was vastly improved.
Still some sloppiness on offense-- a few too many stupid turnovers for my taste and Crocker and AJ are still struggling with their shots---but at least they didn't keep jacking them up all night anyway.
By far the best news from this game was the return of Willie-- he was great. I really think we can go deep in this tourmanent even if Crocker and AJ stink, as long as Willie and Blake do their thing.
All in all, our intensity, focus, and energy was very good last night. We had them beat midway through the first half, and despite a few minor lapses, it was never a game after that. Villanova and Memphis had serious trouble dispatching their "scrub" foes, so I take nothing for granted.
And then, we got more good news (in my opinion) with Michigan beating Clemson. Michigan is a defense-oriented team that does not have great guard play-- but they WILL defend you. They are going to bust out the 1-3-1 zone on us, and you can bet they are going to sink in on Blake all night long. They will absolutely dare our guards to beat them from the outside. If our guards are hitting, we could win easily. If they aren't, it's going to be a dogfight.
Staying patient and beating the 1-3-1 is the key to the game for us. If it frustrates us a bit early, we can't let it affect our defense...if we have to play an ugly, low-scoring game, then so be it. Michigan will want to turn it into a brusing halfcourt game and they will want to limit the times Blake touches the ball-- they don't have big men that can play him straight-up, so they will throw that zone at him all night. Maybe our guards will make them pay? Lord knows, they are due.

even though Beilien ran us out of the gym in the all-college, i like playing them more than Clemson.

That WVU was much better than Michigan. When I'm bored, I would watch the Big 10 network on Sundays. Nobody in that conference scares me. Respect, yes- fear, NO! Michigan, for a 3-point team, isn't that great of a shooting team, it's just that they take a lot of them. They don't mind getting out-rebounded. For that reason, even Jim Jackson on the Big 10 Network last night gave them NO shot at winning this game.

I think last night's game start... what, 15 minutes late? You can probably bank on our game starting after 5 p.m.

3/20/2009, 10:15 AM
I would rather play Michigan then Clemson because we tend to struggle against the press and Clemson is a pretty good press team. I think the fact that we were able to rest our starters a little last night and they had a very physical game will make them more sluggish tomorrow and we'll be able to capitalize.

3/20/2009, 11:53 AM
Hopefully we can get off to a little faster start than we did last night. Not everyone is gonna shoot as bad as Morgan St. did, and that worries me if we have to play catch up. We might start to force things and become even more turnover prone that we usually are.
With that said, pretty impressive game. I was never really worried about us losing or really having much of a fight on our hands. Hopefully we can get similar performances out of BG, TG, and WW in our games down the road. Any contributions from elsewhere at this point is just extra icing on the cake.

I did like aj hitting that 21 footer late in the game. Sometimes a shot like that can get you back on track. We are going to need HIM specifically at some point. Maybe not this weekend, but soon....

We will still have to play at least reasonably well to win but there is no doubt in my mind that Michigan is a more favorable match-up than was Clemson. Actually the Michigan game could help in that is we play well enough to beat them that we will see a zone defense, albeit a little different as a 1-3-1, but as a tune-up to certainly seeing a zone if we get Syracuse next.
Also Michigan ran out to a big lead on Clemson and then was just able to hang on. That win might have taken a little more out of their tank mentally. I feel pretty good about getting a W.
Where can I watch this online if CBS insists on showing the tarheels here?

Do the refs watch tape of the first half during halftime? Cuz I hope they see the ****ty job they're doing and make some adjustments.
Hopefully, they learn about moving screens, undercutting, and pushing our guys in the back under the rim.
Bosley
3/21/2009, 05:36 PM
Shooting 62% from three.....
Unreal.
No, I don't think officials watch film of the first half at halftime.
And I don't expect them to be any better in the 2nd half.

We're getting BS fouls called on us while Michigan is doing all but taking a club to BG.
He got the 2, so I guess we'll ignore that open field tackle during the shot.
This is ****ing ridiculous.

We need a big inside thug to go in for BG and just throw elbows for a few minutes each half.

Did anyone see Blake almost lose it on the offensive end that one time. he tried to punch the ball loose with his fist!
Lemme know when the 2nd half starts so I can start the stream again.
It gets a little laggy, but only about 15 seconds the whole first half.

No, but he must be frustrated.
Gets mugged left and right and then gets called for ticky tack ****.

what got me is they mug him then call him for tryin' to steal the ball back. sure he slappd the guys arm but he probably feels its okay to slap the arm and not get called. its happens when he tries to shoot all the time
