it's time

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Apparently not owning a jump stop is not a Rutgers thing

 

[MadRU]

Florida’s full court press is a mess

 

[MadRU]

Scottie Lewis just threw a pass into the balcony

 

[Terry_2426]

Bought tickets last night for Florida/Vtech at Hinkle -- fun atmosphere even with limited fans. Makes the wait for tonight even more exciting/nerve wracking

 

[MadRU]

A lot of sloppy play early in these games. Hopefully our fans don’t overreact, because we should expect some sloppy play early in our game.

 

[knight82]

I had forgotten how many commercials and how long the breaks are for these games. Our game won't end before midnight

Arkansas is gonna destroy Colgate.

Arkansas is gonna destroy Colgate.

first to 85 wins

 

[MadRU]

Arkansas is gonna destroy Colgate.

If they win do they get Crest next?

 

[RUtrumpet92_rivals498139]

Arkansas is gonna destroy Colgate.

So you are saying they will brush Colgate aside.

 

[RW90]

Anyone going out to watch the game, or is everyone watching from home? Was thinking about NB but looking for suggestions, especially considering its gonna be rather cold at game time to be outdoors.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Arkansas is gonna destroy Colgate.

Colgate???? No way. Colgate is a top 11 team. At least they were

 

[RU206]

Colgate looks good so far

 

[MadRU]

Illinois coming up on TBS

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

NET is broken. Colgate rated to low!

 

[bac2therac]

The NET accurately called Michigan State

 

[biazza38]

COLGATE might actually be a top 11 team

 

[MadRU]

Kofi called for an early foul, imagine that

 

[RUHotTrumpetMonkeyLove]

Virginia Tech player just got T'ed up like Mulcahy did against Illinois. I think this was a bs call too.

No one knows what Colgate is, including Arkansas. Colgate won 14 games on 5 total opponents. Its hard to scout that. I think there will be many more upsets, seeds 11-15, and higher numbered seeds making runs than 2 years ago, only a 5 seed and a 12 seed made sweet 16, every think else was 1-4 seeds.

Looks like a Princeton team of old.

 

[RUScottish05]

Arkansas just switched up its D scheme. They are pressing and playing tight, Colgate will lose,

 

[MadRU]

Colgate got squeezed

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Looks like first Rutgers Indiana game.

 

[BillyC80]

If they win do they get Crest next?

I think we played Colgate-Palmolive once in OOC.

 

[anon_xekqhstck0ygt]

back to earth

COLGATE might actually be a top 11 team

 

[MadRU]

I think we played Colgate-Palmolive once in OOC.

I recall Bob Wenzel’s line about playing Ryder. He said something like after we play Ryder we will then play Avis.

 

[MadRU]

Come on Illinois, blow them off the court!!!

 

[knight82]

I liked Kevin Bannon's comment when he coached Rider and he played Kentucky. Their kids are McDonald's all Americans. Our kids eat at McDonalds

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Florida isn't good

Rider. LOLz

 

[bac2therac]

I like Utah State today

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

I like Utah State today

#metoo

I want mclung to lose

 

[bac2therac]

I think in these games you find out alot of teams are nervous and tight coming out. The ones who get more comfortable as the game goes on tend to do well. We saw that last night with two comebacks and another near miss. Even today Florida was pretty dreadful early but tightening this game

Looks like Colgate hanging very tough after losing momentum before halftime. Arky cannot shake them

 

[hoquat63]

Colgate up by one with 15:35 ledt

 

[RUHotTrumpetMonkeyLove]

From this thread, it looks like more people are watching Colgate-Arkansas than VaTech-Florida which is a four point game with 3:40 left. Interesting. I'll switch over once the earlier game ends.

 

[anon_xekqhstck0ygt]

everyone watching at work?

 

[bac2therac]

yeah Ive been watching Fla comeback on Va Tech and they just layed a dagger to go up 6

will Utah State/Texas break 20 before halftime

 

[RUHotTrumpetMonkeyLove]

everyone watching at work?

Work? I can count on two hands the times I've been in my actual office over the past year.
