WOW. Did some Creighton player do that? Thugs.


Happened when Kendall went up for a layup, got blasted by a Creighton player and went flying out of bounds landing on his right side. Marshall was on the radio post game and said it wasn't anything serious, but Leslie tweeted that his knee was fine and it ended up being a torn ACL so I won't be comfortable until they run some tests on it...gahhhh

Marshall seeing the doctor. May not meet with media postgame.

FML PLEASE BE OK
 
Short little column about an Ohio player exposing what a dirty fuck Scott Drew is, along with that fuck Caldwell who has ties with UCF and tried to burn U of L:

Both Cooper and his high school coach, Brandon Thomas, declined to name the programs trying to poach him. Recruiting a player before he is released from his current program is against N.C.A.A. rules. Cooper’s mother, Dionne, identified Baylor Coach Scott Drew as someone who attempted to lure her son from Ohio.

“He wasn’t necessarily calling and saying, ‘Come on over,’ ” she said. “He would say: ‘Oh, this is great. I knew you could do it. The exposure you’re getting now, you’re not getting it in the MAC because you’re not on TV.’ He was really trying to sell to me. ‘We know you can do these things, but because of where you are, you’re not getting the attention you deserve.’ ” (Drew did not return a text message seeking comment.)


D.J. Cooper declined to comment when asked if Kenneth Caldwell, a Chicago-based runner for an agent, who admitted recruiting players for Central Florida and other programs, had reached out to him. Caldwell had a close relationship with Jerome Randle, the former Pac-10 player of the year at California who played with Cooper when he attended Hales Franciscan High School in Chicago. All Cooper would say about Caldwell is that he knew him.

I love how Thamel is basically the only guy on this shit. Need more writers like him.
 
I'm not going to give that shit Thamel any hits, especially after the crap he wrote about Kanter.

Boo hoo. Everyone knew Kanter wasn't going to be eligible and backed off, just like Bledsoe. UK got away with one, and didn't another, and the whole fanbase went nuts.

Don't recruit danger players everyone has backed off on and it wouldn't be a problem. ALA Shabazz Muhammad next year is asking for an NCAA violation for anyone who signs him.

I feel like the NCAA is trying to artificially create March Madness stories. First by trolling power programs with under seeded teams, and then letting lower seeds get away with murder.
 
The refs let Creighton thug it up and just cost us our title shot. Fucking assholes.

As much as I hate to see anyone get hurt, I am so thankful its a UNC player. In the off chance MSU and UNC meet in the title game, my Spartans need all the help they can get. UNC is the biggest monkey to ever crawl on MSU's back
 
I said before Duke/Lehigh that Lehigh was legit and has a great chance of taking us out. It was obvious that without Kelly, we're over-matched. It's probably the worst seeding of an opponent that the NCAA has done in a while.
 
UNC should be able to get past the next round without him, they luckily will get a 12/13.

I don't see them beating kansas without a healthy Marshall though...
 
Sorry bro. You're still a damn good team though...


and :0 at that Lehigh score. Damn.

We might be able to get by USF/Ohio, but that's it. Can't beat a team the caliber of KU/OSU/UK with Stillman White/Justin Watts playing major minutes. I hope we put Bullock at point, start Hairston or JMac and play huge. Only chance IMO.
 
GO LEHIGH!

We're screwed. I feel so bad for KM
