ACC vs Big X

[SFP]

I already have a 2 jar bet with MM that the ACC will win again!

Duke looks good right now but this game is long from done. I predict Duke by 7-8.

Illinois looked pretty good in a losing cause. BW must be mad that they could not get a shot off at the end. What were they thinking?

[Braves4Life]

I admire your willingness to go out on the line SFP.................... But the B-10 wins this year.

[SFP]

Braves4Life you make me laugh. Is there a jar bet with you also.

[SFP]

Purdue is going to have to be able to open the game up a bit if they want to score. Duke is playing great D and they are keeping Purdue from running a consistent offensive set.

How come BW doesnt call a timeout when they got the rebound that wouldve left him 10 seconds? thats bad coaching, but it was still a very selfish play by McCamey

and the ACC is takin it again this year

I'm not sure why he did not call one except he probably called a play before the Clemson guy shot his FTs. I'm not sure what the Illinois guys were thinking. They needed to either go inside or take a quick shot to give themselves another chance if they missed.

You betcha Purdue by 1 on a last second shot

[MacabreMob]

I guess I can hope B4L and SFP never come to town at the same time as I think it will be a complete night on MM.

Duke is looking really good. I don't care how much time is left and if the refs try to "make it interesting" - this is Duke and they always get the calls.

Yeah DUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They didn't have any timeouts left to call

Tied up 3-3.

Florida St @ NWrn
Penn St @ Georgia Tech
Michigan @ Maryland
UNC @ Mich St
Indy @ WF

I think I am in trouble.

I am not sure what GTECH and FL ST have back from last year... but it appears Michigan might be the only game the Big 11 wins... if they play like they did in the game vs. UCLA

I'm pretty sure they had one left but BW called the play during the free throw. It was suppose to go to Meacham off a screen(and he was open) and then either take the shot himself or pass to Chet.
Weber even made the comment when they were leaving the huddle "now everyone knows what they are suppose to do right?"

Final analysis.......McCamey is a bonehead

I heard the announcers say Illinois did not have a time out at that point, with 11 sec to go.
if that be the case, then the coach has to take responsibility for that!!

BUT here is the play-by-play and it is clear that Illinois had used only 4 time outs and this proves they still had one.
Thus, even more, it is the coach's obligation to get a time out and with 10 seconds left draw up a play that'll get a shot.

found this discussion on the Illinois board, indeed in his post-game radio show Weber admitted he had a time out but didn't call it, although the announcers had said there were no time outs left.

also, didn't the Iowa player have a time out with 2 sec. left, instead of trying to throw the ball back in?
even though Brommer was fouled, he is such a bad FT shooter, he missed the front end of the 1-1.
