WALTER OFFUTT

offutt

ugh make the ft

oh my god

all offutt all the time

1st ot game of the whole tourney iirc

marv concurs

fuck, now they're gonna start heaving 3s

jesus christ ohio got outrebounded by almost 30

damn, zeller went kinda ham

ohio had 30, zeller had 22

kentucky/IU is gonna be sick

if theres any way ohio could get an impact forward/center, theyll still b p good next yr, only 1 senior

interesting point

Chad Ford ‏
No one helped their draft stock more than Kendall Marshall. 6 HS All-Americans struggled to score without him running the show

jesus christ i didnt realize dj cooper was 3-20

to win the first game in nashville he was like 7-9 and i remember remarking abt how hed matured, what efficiency

who was the color guy? kerr? kept going on about how lost UNC was on offense (except for bullock, evidently).

kerr was being such a cunt, i loved it

his entire commentary was just "... *smh*"

it sounds better from him than from billy packer tho

or bilas

kansas' offense has been comically bad so far

i kinda want NC st to win cuz i think it would be hilarious if they beat UNC minus marshall to make the final four -- that would be some all-time butthurt by UNC fans

oh gross, the harbaughs

^verbatim quote what i thought

how can anyone not love nc state? THEIR SHIRTS SAY 'STATE'

they've been the destitute shitstain on tobacco road for almost 20 years and have wrecked good coaches like herb sendek (and heroes like sidney lowe). go pack

eh sendek wasn't that great a coach

herb wasn't much of a recruiter, but i think he did pretty well with what he had -- better than his predecessors anyway

if you're coaching basketball in north carolina and aren't much of a recruiter you prob shouldn't have a job

otm

...

i'm still butthurt about him yelling at me at a kentucky basketball camp 20 yrs ago

haha ok

i went to five star but no one bothered yelling at me

i'm sure i deserved it

kidd gilchrist is a fucking beast

i think dude is gonna be a stud in the nba

the only reason i ever scored in camp was because this guy on my team (who was on an opposing team in actual high school) was an incredible passer. dude could play.

unfortunately i was with him when a scout asked him what his sat score was. he said 740, and the scout asked math or verbal. oops

look at these ppl

wau wolfpack

tyshawn has been godawful here

why would you run a play w/ a pass like that involved

yeah, just asking for it to go out of bounds

Withey with 10 blocks, the most blocks in a tournament game since Shaq.

UK plays like tonight, no one is going to beat them. They got everything: inside game, shooting, defense and tonight they just lit up the charity stripe. IU played a pretty good game for the most part, but once the fouls piled up and Oladipo had to go to the bench, they just couldn't hang.

Glad they called those fouls early on Zeller to reign him in. Dude plays dirty and doesn't have to. Can't see anyone beating Kentucky, either.

Props to Stillman White. I told my wife he's the Tar Heels' Matt Seracen.

Any team is beatable, but Kentucky looks like the best team still in the running. I don't have a beef against the UK players. Lamb looked especially underrated as an efficient role player against Indiana. But fuck Calipari with a nightstick.
