G'Town up 17-9 w/ 10 minutes to go in the 1st Half
Wish my office had a TV

Me, too.
Cincinnati has enough talent to give anyone in the league trouble on a given night. The big guy in the middle can be a beast; Stephenson is a scoring machine at times; and Vaughn can shoot on occasion. I was kinda pulling for Rutgers last night, thinking they’d be the easier mark.

jerry being out will hurt
i’m sure of it. we need that senior leadership. i think we’ll come out cold on a high after that big cuse game. Cincy playing for their tournament lives. Cronin playing for his job. We have a lot less to lose, just like Cuse had a lot less to lose Saturday. I hope I’m wrong!

Jerry has been our spark plug in the first 8 minutes of recent games
His defensive pressure will be missed >/= his offense.

Let's win one for the Gipper.
Jerry is our Gipper (though he is not dying).
by sarasota-card on Mar 10, 2010 1:05 PM EST up reply actions
His main towel-waving hand is injured
Pretty close to dying for Jerry.

LMAO about the Gipper
My Dad said that at the Syracuse game… “Well, now we know who our Gipper is. Let’s do it for Jerry!”
G'town up 31-19 over USF at the Half

what is jerry official diagnosis?
sprained thumb? Isn’t that what PK had?
by Cambroni Cardinals on Mar 10, 2010 1:09 PM EST up reply actions
From what I've heard/read, yes. But less severe.

USF laying an egg
where is this great Jones character at???
by Cambroni Cardinals on Mar 10, 2010 1:41 PM EST up reply actions
17 Pts, 4 Reb, 4 Ast, 1 Stl, 1 Blk
I’m not watching the game but looks like Jones is doing his part from the box score.
by UL is my hot hot sex on Mar 10, 2010 1:45 PM EST up reply actions
Bah I was about to post this
USF is 14-51, and has missed 9 free throws. They’ve shot themselves out of this game. Jones is 5-16, but 9-14 at the stripe. Their lack of shooting is costing them, just like I think Cincinnati’s lack of shooting will cost them tonight.
USF's D. Jones: 19 Pts, 4 Reb, 4 Ast, 1 Stl, 2 Blk
60-44 G’town; 05:07 on the clock.

warm up the bus
welcome to the NIT S. Fla it’s O-V-E-R

Prediction Time: Final score for Louisville (-6) vs. Cincinnati; Over/Under: 137.5
My prediction: 72-63 Louisville
by UL is my hot hot sex on Mar 10, 2010 1:59 PM EST reply actions
Closer
I think. Louisville by 2 or 3. Nailbiter to the end. We’re in no matter what. Cincy really has only one chance and are much more desperate. Plus, we don’t play that well in late games. Plus, we usually kinda suck in NYC (last year notwithstanding). This first game will probably be our weakest showing.
GTown
is a scary team when they play together. But they’re kinda like us. They don’t always show up. If they get on a run, though, they can beat anyone in the country, no doubt about it.
St. John's
will give Marquette all they want, I bet ya. This would not be an upset that surprises me. St. John’s is just a lot better there than anywhere else.
Marquette at -3.5 (moved up to -4.5 today) probably had the most betting action today of any games
by UL is my hot hot sex on Mar 10, 2010 2:41 PM EST up reply actions
For the record, if gambling were legal...
I’d bet two teams today: Marquette -3.5 and Wyoming -1.5 (vs Air Force)
by UL is my hot hot sex on Mar 10, 2010 2:42 PM EST up reply actions
it is legal, just depends on were you gamble

I know, I know...anytime someone goes on record with a pick, it's bound to lose.
I was 19-5 last week I swear. Haha.

Since when did we start allowing women to join this site?
Leigh, this is not ’Nam, this is sports blogging. There are rules.
With that, if sexist sports blogging is your thing, there’s a funny piece here that tackles the subject of “Girl watching game at sports bar” from the perspective of “douchebag who takes themself too seriously.” 50% sarcasm font in effect.

36-35 Marquette now, 12:33 to go.
Johnnies have spunk.
"It's not the South, it's not Chicago, and you don't think of it as you think of New York or L.A. It has some Southern romanticism to it, but also a Northern progressivism, this weird urban island in the middle of the state of Kentucky...For us, Louisville and the surrounding areas are the center of massive creativity and massive weirdness." - Jim James, My Morning Jacket
44-42 St. Johns with 7 mins to go.
With a dunk.

7-0 run by Johnnies...impressive
Golden Eagles just answered with another 3. 46-45 Johnnies.
Marquette is shooting 50% (8 for 16) from 3 today.

52-52 now, 3:20 to go.
I am definitely cheering for St. John’s now.

In other news
Nebraska, who went 2-14 in the Big XII, is spanking Missouri. I love conference tourney time!
My feed sucks
This is frustrating. It’s 99% of the reason I don’t like having a job.

This game was always
gonna be close. St. John’s in MSG = much better team. Plus they matched up pretty well with Marquette. I wouldn’t have touched a bet on this game for anything.
I thought 3.5 pts was too small...also surprised St. John's played so well in 2nd half.
The Johnnies defense is underrated but I felt Marquette’s depth and talent would hep them extend a lead in the 2nd half—not give up a lead. I’ve only had 3 or 4 “locks” that I’ve ever gone on record with (not here)…nothing in a conference tournament is a lock and the past two days are why even the sharpest gambler should stay away.

Crean.
Even if he isn’t there anymore, my mind still instantly associates him with Marquette. Bleh.

Yeesh. WKU up 50-23 at the half on FIU.
Looks like a one-side Providence-Seton Hall game.
