College Hoops 2/15-2/21

Wonder if the Terrapins felt like their game with 0-13 Minnesota tonight was a loss?

Maryland is defintely one of the more infuriating teams in college basketball. They have so much talent, but seem to underwhelm a good bit. Consecutive losses to Wisconsin and Minnesota isn't a good look, and may ultimatley cost them a #1 seed. They were/(are?) still in the running for one, but that really makes it tough to stay in the race with BAD losses like that.

Big win for Pitt today.  Some of the guys that have been struggling, most notably Jamel Artis, woke up and played a solid game.   Pitt/Jamie Dixon just own Syracuse, not sure why that is. 


Big week coming up with Louisville and Duke at the Pete.  Win one, and Pitt's looking pretty solid for the tournament.

Very good game by pitt today. Strong ending.

Pitt NEEDS to win 1 of these games to not be on the bubble. Even still they are suffering from a terrible non conference schedule

...Hate to sound like a broken record. Don't ever get to see much sports on TV on weekends during the day, so I did not see any of the Pitt game. So I turn to Channel 6 at 11PM for some highlights. It WAS a big game for the Panthers, playing on the road at Syracuse, trying to make the NCAA Tournament. So Ch 6 starts out with District 5 and 6 wrestling highlights, as they rightly should. Was a big day for these local grapplers. Then comes highlights from men's and women's basketball from St. Francis. After all, this is truly a local school. Next comes highlights from PSU's win against 6-21 Rutgers, and how they have won TWO conference games in a row. And that's it, period. No Pitt highlights. Not even a mention or a score. Truly pathetic. Very discouraging.

Not sure if this is a dig at me or not, but I can ALWAYS find highlights if I really want them. But the point is, why is Pitt constantly being SNUBBED by our two local TV stations?

[Crimson's Ghost]

I wasn't sure if you knew Pitt produces their own highlights after every game, not a dig or anything.

That's why I've taken to switching to Channel TEN at approximately 11: 20 every night.  Johnstown sports coverage -is- truly pathetic, and a waste of 3 minutes.  Might as well have another weather forecast, right after the OTHER weather forecast.  Or another 3 minutes of Harold B. Shepley or Edgar Snyder commercials.  Oh- and Marcus & Mack , and Berger & Green too.  Can NEVER get enough of 'em.
