This is an entertaining game tho, having Verne simply using completely incorrect word usage and in general blabbering incoherent things

I picked Ohio State but Dayton is right there with them. I still think Ohio St will pull away late.

I got Syracuse winning the next game anyways.
2308519, what league does craft play in next year with that raking shit?

Posted by icecold21, Thu Mar-20-14 01:30 PM
Even Dayton isn't going to be any kind of cakewalk. If one of our big 3 is off or in foul trouble, we could lose to almost anybody.
2308598, I wanted a rematch so badly

2308564, LMAO. I actually even like Craft
Posted by brown sugar, Thu Mar-20-14 02:18 PM
I don't blame him for the nauseating praise he
is the recipient of. I don't blame him for playing
aggressive D that the refs don't call either.
But good lord is he just a flat out loser. Never
seen a "leader" shrink so many times in end of
game situations. Blown FTs, untimely TOs,
missed shots, etc. Hell the fact that he made that
one layup towards the end of regulation shocked
me.

Embarrassing loss. Especially for a team that
some people around here at one point predicted
to be "outright B1G champions" while sporting
the country's "best backcourt duo."


LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
2308565, damn lol

I tried to told niggas at the J-O that Dayton was fa real!

Brackets is still looking right for now.
2308596, Damn OSU, the one time I wanted them to win they blow it
Posted by DJR, Thu Mar-20-14 03:41 PM
I badly wanted Cuse to end Craft's career.

Not to mention, OSU and their inept offense looked like a much better matchup for Cuse than Dayton does. I'm so mad they lost.
2309063, Lol you wanted it the last time and got your asses beat...stfu.

Posted by osu_no_1, Sat Mar-22-14 01:26 AM
It was a tough matchup from the start.

Lol at some of these seedings. Like they were really trying to fuck over certain teams. Only matchup that was worse was Louisville against Manhattan. They got supremely fucked and were so lucky to escape.

Vcu also got screwed by having to face a tough SFA team. Not a 12 seed at all. Now let's see if they can play well again vs UCLA. Their fans were so fucking smug tonight after that game. Hope they get theirs on Sunday because Tulsa had no business being in this tourney. 16 seed weber played better.
2309369, STOP CRYING PUSSY, YOU LOST!
Posted by DJR, Sun Mar-23-14 10:40 AM
SMH. Talk about whining. You got screwed because you had to play Dayton?

Good grief. If he makes a couple buckets at any point the Lobos probably win that. But he was awful.

2308695, *lights up O_E bat signal* Media projects Jesus on Aaron Craft (swipe)
Posted by brown sugar, Fri Mar-21-14 12:47 AM
(1) missed white thursday by a couple hours but whatever

(2) chait is a michigan dude, so bias beware


just an interesting mainstream article on white athletes and the media.


http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2014/03/cbs-white-basketball-player-is-basically-jesus.html

I wrote earlier today about how sports-media and announcers project certain virtues — smarts, toughness, hard work — onto white athletes, using coverage of my alma mater, Michigan, as a case study. But there's probably no better example than Aaron Craft, point guard for Ohio State.

Craft is a pretty good basketball player. He's strong and quick and plays fantastic defense. His jump shot is atrocious. Basketball announcers tend to treat him as the embodiment of all that is good and decent in sports. That habit was on display today, thankfully, for the last time ever, in Ohio State's last-second loss to Dayton.

The commentary was a game-long rhapsody to the grit, determination, and human decency of Craft. At some point, somebody said, "There's a toughness in that shirt that belies the angelic countenance."

Then, near the end, play-by-play commentator Verne Lundquist declared he respected Craft more than any player he had ever seen:

But what makes Craft so admirable? Is his degree in nutrition so much more impressive than any other players' academic achievements? Does he display special poise and smarts on the court? Not really: He makes some pretty bad decisions, like a horrendous intentional foul with two-and-a-half minutes left. He's a solid player overall.
So you have to ask what about Craft makes him the vessel for such unusual admiration. The answer is pretty clear.
2308696, his second story: even better (abt UM)
