D-League

[Bert Higginbotha]

Wonderful late winter day in Smiths Grove. The sun is bright and a heavy frost in on the roofs. 35.1°F.

I have a lot of basketball to watch.

Good post CatfaninSC. I feel that your picks are about the way it will happen; however, Gonzaga has a horrible lost to St. Marys. That is ten times worse than UK's lost to Alabama.

Morning D.
Just arrived to work. Went to our UCC Men's Lenten service/breakfast beforehand.
May or may not have "celebrated" the victory last night......ok, I did.
Gotta good one coming up this afternoon. Both teams won big at home...neutral court rubber match coming up. Don't get too distraught IF they should happen to lose. A loss and an extra day off before the big dance begins isn't necessarily a bad thing. Although it kind of depends on how they lose....BUT THAT AIN'T HAPPENIN! UK by 2...it's gonna get nervy. Get ready Bko.

ymmot, Bert, Rooster, Bko, ATX, don, catfan, Sawnee, UK82, rrkat, Ben, cord, FCC, warrior, kai & anyone else:
Today will be a good day.

Started singing "Life is a Rock" in my head after read off all of those sigs you listed there.

 

[ymmot31]

It would be worth watching these ladies' video, even if they couldn't sing. What an attractive trio.

2,3,1

They will never be part of my life. I can't tolerate the taste. Yuk!

Tried an avocado in 1982 out in Cali. That's the whole story.

LSU goes do to the reptiles.

I was actually rooting for the Gators. That is something that usually does not happen.

Had a friend over and we watched that game. Was a good one. LSU should have, if they had any decency at all, skipped the post season. There is plenty of evidence that they have played an ineligible player all year and that all their wins will be vacated.

Hey, where is ymmot? You know he didn't miss this game.

Saw every second of it. Didn't get on the computer yesterday.


It's funny how the criteria for seeding teams changes every season to fit a narrative. They used to say that the play at the end of the year was much more important than the play at the beginning of the year. Guarantee that our loss to Duke on Nov 6 2018 will carry more weight on Sunday than the losses of Gonzaga and UVA in the last couple of days.

If you think we get screwed by the NCAA now, just wait and see how bad it gets when we have 10 NC's and are closing in on UCLA.

Morning. Palms sweaty. Too early yet for comments. FCC.

Game Plan

 

[FutureCityCats]

Catfansc has the inside track on the seeds as hearing com. chair speak. Seems like some years the tourneys were practically ignored for seedings though. And best I recall, by numbers we had a path last year after a game or two. Well, gotta get some things done before the game. FCC.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Any school teachers on here? Pretend this is a 5 star basketball player and if he passes he gets into UK. How would you grade it?

 

[railroadkat_1]

Rooster what is that? Head doesn't appear to be poisonous. I hate them all. Alive or dead! That's a long sucker too.

 

[cordmaker]

Morning D-League, what a beautiful morning here in the Berg, cool but beautiful!!!!!! Got a surprise visit from my son and grandson this morning, it's so eerie how my son looks like my dad! I have just watched him and he has so many mannerisms of my dad! I am nervous about the game today, so I hope they remember how Tennorsee ended the last game we had with them with the dunk before the buzzer to run the score up!!!! For those that bass fish or uses top water My son-in- law bought me a lure last year a Whopper Plopper, you need to get one! I caught more big bass and saw more big bass caught on this lure than any lure I have ever used!!!!! He got me two and the one I caught the most on (are you ready) Munkey Butt#13 LOL Ya'll have a great day and GO CATS!!!!!

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

I got through 10 minutes of College Gameday and stopped.

Jay Bilas can kiss my ass. Two Duke homers. Plus, Rece says only one team can beat a healthy Duke and that is UNC.

The four one seeds should be UVA, UNC, Duke and Gonzaga.

 

[_Rooster]

Rooster what is that?

Corn Snake "Creamsicle" color variant.

A striking medium-sized southeast woodland constrictor of some value.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

Insult to Dick Vitale. Geeze we have to listen to Dukie Vitale. And now they are going to have Christian Laettner.

ESPN sure knows how to push my buttons.

See you guys later, I have to enjoy Vitale.

 

[railroadkat_1]

Here is my take. The committee has always had the field of 64 set before the Sunday Final of the SEC. In reality Sat if Auburn wins today and tomorrow they would take the SEC's automatic Qualifier.
The NCAA has their head so far up the asses of the ACC, Zion Williamson couldn't pull them apart Don't know much about Virginia, they had three losses in the ACC. Don't forget UNC beat Duke 2 out of 3 in the last 3 and a half weeks. UNC only needed a 2 pointer to win and their point guard launches a 3 pointer that the space shuttle could have told you it wasn't going in.The best thing is the ACC commissioner has to leave the room as the discussion of the ACC teams. Same goes for the SEC. Will see tomorrow at 5pmc.time.
The NCAA likes money, we support our team, think we end up in Louisville after 2 games.
What say you? Just my $ .02 worth.
Didn't understand after a very strong showing of Blue vs Bama how did all the Orange get in after our game? Go Big Blue …........U can do it!.....

One will kill you, one is your best friend. If you live where coral snakes live, learn to tell the difference. It could mean life or death. "Red touches yellow kills a fellow" "Red touches black a friend of Jack" When I was about 5 years old I killed a snake and was so proud of myself I put it on a stick and ran to show my grandpa. He said son you killed your best friend. I killed a King Snake which kills rattlesnakes and other poisonous snakes. . He had placed the king snakes in the groves to kill rattlers. I was devastated but learned a very valuable lesson. .
KILLER

Good morning D

Wide awake with my second cup of coffee. Birds are chirping as spring is in full bloom. You can call us the Pollen State but the bees are happy. Current temperature is 67 with a high of 76 and a 20% chance of some liquid sunshine. That would be nice.

OK today is the big one. The one we have been waiting for and have circled on our calendar. This is the most important game to date as it may and probably does decide our seeding in the tournament. Both teams are aware of that. So if we show up and play to our potential we will win this one. We will have the crowd with us even in Tennessee. That is for sure.

Have a great day and I trust Bert has all of those palm fronds out of his yard the storm brought in. They make nice hats if you need something for your head.to keep the sun off. Now GO CATS. Win and advance

. .

My wife bought one of these when we were in Hawaii last year. She loves it.

 

[Ben101er]

I want to beat UT in the worst way, however, I am torn on how the seeding may go. I think whoever wins our game gets the one, and the other will get a two, or maybe even a three for UT if we win. Not sure whether I would want a 1 seed and be out west, or be a two in Louisville. We would have the crowd, but we would have to beat Puke or UNCheat to get to the final four. Might be better out west and get Gonzaga as the 2. If UNCheat and Puke both get 1's, then UVA may be a two, and if so, they will probably go to the West or Midwest. Even if we get the 1 in Louisville, then we would probably have the Tar Holes as our 2. Just so many possibilities, and you can bet the committee will give us the least favorable of the choices. I just hate playing Puke or UNCheat since a referee like Higgins will screw us.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Auburn advances in a close one with no foul at the end.

Now let's go Cats

[Bert Higginbotha]

The ref giveth and the ref taketh away

Auburn fouled the crap out of Nembhard.

 

[catfaninsc]

Auburn fouled the crap out of Nembhard.

That wasn’t a foul. It was attempted murder.

 

[FutureCityCats]

It looked like the ref closest was blocked. It should have been called by the ref on opposite side. Three guys fouled the Fla player at the same time. Now the Cats. FCC.

 

[ymmot31]

I understand the no call. Dude picked up his dribble and was carrying the ball on his hip while he took several steps. He had his shoulder lowered as he initiated contact with the 3 Auburn guys. They were basically standing still when he ran up to them.

Make a basketball play and don't rely on the ref to bail you out at the end of the game.

 

[ymmot31]

I wish I liked DV. It would make this so much easier on me.

 

[ymmot31]

Terrible call on that foul. No accident.

 

[ymmot31]

I'm not liking the vibe I'm getting here. PJ jumped behind the guy but he didn't touch him. I ran that one back too.

 

[ymmot31]

We're not having fun at my house.

 

[ymmot31]

If I was picking a team, I would pick Herro first. He's an assassin and plays to win at all times.

 

[ymmot31]

UT can't shoot like this all game can they? Shew wee!

 

[ymmot31]

Travis from DOWNTOWN!!!

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Travis from DOWNTOWN!!!

Big shot. Hope PJ comes to play in 2nd half.

 

[catfaninsc]

UT can't shoot like this all game can they? Shew wee!

Sure they can. They are getting good looks at the basket. 7 of 9 from 3 land. Hopefully they don’t repeat this shooting in the second half.

 

[UK82]

Only down 2 without PJ for most of the half. Not bad but they really need to get on the 3-point shooters. Most were wide open.

 

[_Rooster]

 

[AustinTXCat]

Tight game as predicted. Travis trey was right on time.

Go Cats!
