UNLV on Versus
It looks like the UNLV game this weekend is on Versus which is no longer offered by DirecTV…(something about Versus wanting too much money for their awesome hockey coverage and DirecTV not wanting to pass that along to their customers…thanks, DirecTV) any idea if it will be carried locally?
I looked...I saw...I breathed a sigh of relief...
…as ADMM greeted me. All is right with the world.
We win going away.
Justin TV
Is the game on justin tv or 360 tonight?
Courtside again guys
Cool intro ending — a dead serious Swop intones “it’s game time”

hook your cable directly into your tv
and bypass the box. it should fix it
Having the same problems.
However, I switched to a TV without the box, and I am getting it.
In tunnel coming out to crowd, team laughs, looks loose
Mccarty leads the pre game dog pound woofing, and Preston and others chime in— PK always…

This is awesome
The channel is unavailable even though I pay for it and ESPN360 has a regional blackout.
No. just a cable line without the Insight box.
I had the same problem you had with my box, but I’m watching on normal cable on a different tv.
This is my problem when stuff is on ESPNU
My provider claims we have it, but the channel says to call the provider. 360 won’t show games on their TV network.
P.S. nice drive by Sosa.

What's with the tshirts?
I feel like everyone knows something i don’t
Pitino has always opposed them
But Preston wore them in High School. He was the only one on the team with guts enough to ask Pitino if he could wear one, and now others are talking about wearing them too.
As long as he keeps the headbands away
Not a fan of those at all.
by Remote Cardinal on Nov 23, 2009 7:25 PM EST up reply actions
are they compression shirts?
perhaps they were recently issued to the entire team by the uniform sponsor?
by UL is my hot hot sex on Nov 23, 2009 7:25 PM EST up reply actions
oh ok
I haven’t been able to look at the site for a couple days; didn’t realize his photo was up. On TV, they look pretty tight-fitting for regular cotton shirts but I guess that’s not important right now.
by UL is my hot hot sex on Nov 23, 2009 7:33 PM EST up reply actions
Yeah, they are tight
That must be the caveat to wearing them. They could be compression, but Jennings’ doesn’t look like it is.
FLOOR UPDATE
Sosa complained that the dude was jabbing him in the nuts right before he basically punched him
by sam34gtr on Nov 23, 2009 7:25 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Ah. Nice to know it was emotional and not just stupid..
oh wait. still kinda stupid. Thanks for the inside info

Hey, PK sinks the layup
Wait to use the glass son!

I'm really unimpressed with our closing out on the 3's
And our rebounding intensity sucks
by frankpos on Nov 23, 2009 7:32 PM EST via mobile reply actions
For those with Insight who can't get the game
I called and complained and they’re issuing a credit on my next bill, might be worth your effort.
Umm, ladybird update
Wearing skin tight black sequined tops with CARDS on , er, chest area

Our willingness to settle for a 3 is unsettling
We’ve gotten just a few pts in the paint
by frankpos on Nov 23, 2009 7:44 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Buzz Peterson should talk to Krag before he leaves
about the transition from FBS to FCS schools
6'-10" doesn't have to much
I like the power swat though. I wanna see a still shot of that and the guys face.

the open thread is dead tonight
this has been the most lackluster 3 basketball games in 3 days at freedom hall in recent memory.
The hall of fame classic has made the billy minardi classic look like march madness
Cinci beat Vandy and is a lot better than anyone gives them credit
they are a top 25 team
I feel like Pitino is going to be kicking himself when Lance Stephenson blows up
That is until his academic problems are reveled after he leaves and vacates all Cinci’s wins from this season
I bet
Cinci finishes top 6 in Big East this year
by Final4Galore on Nov 23, 2009 7:56 PM EST up reply actions
yeah seemed weird that Vandy was the ranked team in that matchup
by UL is my hot hot sex on Nov 23, 2009 7:58 PM EST up reply actions
Vandy's b-ball coach should get more credit than he does
they’ve been consistently decent/good the past 6-7 years
have they ever made it past the Sweet 16?
not being a jerk just curious
by UL is my hot hot sex on Nov 23, 2009 8:03 PM EST up reply actions
Not that I recall
but it’s always hard to win consistently at an academic school
Yes, but Vandy doesn't have an Athletic Department
and doesn’t pay coaches like Duke does.
exactly
the people at Vandy will probably never stress athletics like the Dukes and Stanfords of the world. They would kill in the Ivy League though.
by UL is my hot hot sex on Nov 23, 2009 8:09 PM EST up reply actions
couldn't agree more
should not be that consistently “good”
by UL is my hot hot sex on Nov 23, 2009 8:10 PM EST up reply actions
I would agree with you in some sports
but basketball is a little easier to recruit and compete at the elite academic level. I think Vandy has other issues.

courtesy of wikipedia:
The Commodores have won three SEC regular season titles (1965, 1974 and 1993). They have competed in ten NCAA Tournaments, making it to the Elite Eight once (1965) and the Sweet 16 six times (1965, 1974, 1988, 1993, 2004, and 2007)

Pitino Halftime Interview
Praises App St. for having Senior leadership and good ball movement.
Said we need to respect their players in the 2nd half.

Did you hear Oprah is closing her show?
by UL is my hot hot sex on Nov 23, 2009 8:14 PM EST up reply actions
I don't know how knowles wasn't more hyped in high school
i’d never heard of him before he committed
Respect? Just close out on their 3 pt shooters
That’s all keeping them on the game
by frankpos on Nov 23, 2009 8:13 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Highilights of milt wagner on big screen now
Crowd is politely here…

followed by another jerry fuckup
go home till january jerry
Preston yells an audible " fuck"
After not getting that steal and breakaway
by frankpos on Nov 23, 2009 8:17 PM EST via mobile reply actions
hand checks and messed up dribble drives
that’s what jerry smith does in november
I know he'll be there when it counts
i’d be distracted too if i just had a kid
Boogie cam time
Boogie man looking good!
by frankpos on Nov 23, 2009 8:20 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Looks like they didn't have rights to show the "real" highlights
Had to go to file footage.
Let's see-- 0 has vast majority of their points at half
Shall we close out on him please
by frankpos on Nov 23, 2009 8:24 PM EST via mobile reply actions
it's weird that we're good at shooting 3's now
I’m used to sucking at it
this has been fun to watch
Siva has made our transition game so much better
Finally... A run and the crowd is finally up
Should be ready to rout them big time…
we’ll see
by frankpos on Nov 23, 2009 8:28 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Buckles looks improved by 300% today.
He might just contribute this year after all.
Pitino told Rock to go hard to bucket A few min ago
Rock’s showing it now
by frankpos on Nov 23, 2009 8:34 PM EST via mobile reply actions
I think this is the best we have looked so far this season
and on my birthday too. I’m taking the credit
Players on bench laughing now
Jerry whipped the towel on Swops shot
maybe Jerry should just be designated towel whipper…
by frankpos on Nov 23, 2009 8:37 PM EST via mobile reply actions
I agree.
Everyone playing very solid.
by Remote Cardinal on Nov 23, 2009 8:38 PM EST up reply actions
Though I would have liked to see
Edgar go baseline after the passed up three with a feed to Jennings.
by Remote Cardinal on Nov 23, 2009 8:39 PM EST up reply actions
Even Jennings doing well.
Solid play from Jennings I think will be a huge difference in Big East play.
by Remote Cardinal on Nov 23, 2009 8:37 PM EST reply actions
Swop have a shot?
I thought he had 9 bounds too.
by Remote Cardinal on Nov 23, 2009 8:41 PM EST up reply actions
Highlights of game just showed on ESPN2 during a break in the Pitt game
Showed Marra’s three and a Buckles layup. Our 10th and 12th players off the bench I believe.
by UL is my hot hot sex on Nov 23, 2009 8:40 PM EST reply actions
I like kuric!
But were still letting this team stay close because we refuse to close out on the 3
by frankpos on Nov 23, 2009 8:42 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Understood-- but pitino will not be pleased
On the D on 3
at the post game presser…I can assure u
by frankpos on Nov 23, 2009 8:46 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
ESPN2 just showed wichita state coach's pregame speech
I wish they did that more often. Would love to see Rick Pitino and other big time coaches in their locker rooms.
by UL is my hot hot sex on Nov 23, 2009 8:44 PM EST reply actions
Pitino banned them from taping them when he was at UK
Said it distracted the players. Dunno if he continued that here at UofL.
by Remote Cardinal on Nov 23, 2009 8:45 PM EST up reply actions
Seriously
I’ve been opposite the bench at the top of the lower arena and heard the verbal bashings.
by Remote Cardinal on Nov 23, 2009 8:47 PM EST up reply actions
haha
just imagine if HBO taped them and ran them during the season. Would’ve loved to see Bobby Knight’s halftime speeches.
by UL is my hot hot sex on Nov 23, 2009 8:47 PM EST up reply actions
wouldn't doubt it
not sure how much it would ever help the team but it’s a cool part of the game that goes unnoticed by non-players
by UL is my hot hot sex on Nov 23, 2009 8:46 PM EST up reply actions
He is more relaxed and confident
I think being the top dog at point guard has helped. He looks good this eason
smart move to make him captain
jerry…he’ll come around…right?
by UL is my hot hot sex on Nov 23, 2009 8:50 PM EST up reply actions
Point total going to be lower than RP usually likes it
For us to be playing this well that is.
by Remote Cardinal on Nov 23, 2009 8:49 PM EST reply actions
Yeah, I guess.
Didn’t seem like we were on pace for 80, but Pitino likes middle-upper 80s average.
by Remote Cardinal on Nov 23, 2009 8:55 PM EST up reply actions
We had them by the throat at 10 min mark by 20
Should have been 30 long ago
by frankpos on Nov 23, 2009 8:50 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Punishment, lol
Make fatty run and rebound.
by Remote Cardinal on Nov 23, 2009 8:51 PM EST up reply actions
i retract my previous statements
george goode is actually good
Brickley sighting...
Game over
he’s like pitino firing up an Auerbach stogie
by frankpos on Nov 23, 2009 8:53 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Brickley looks confident for the last guy off the bench
by UL is my hot hot sex on Nov 23, 2009 8:54 PM EST reply actions
He went to Northeastern and then to Southern New Hampshire University
Grambling would have been awesome though
This team looks like they're having a lot of fun
On Buckles’ full court heave, Pitino started screaming at him right when it missed. When Buckles looked over in fear, Pitino and the entire coaching staff were beaming huge smiles at him.
When both Buckles and TJ airmailed threes late the entire bench was rolling, but carefully. They were all eying Pitino to see how mad he was
