I think that you could train a half wit golden retriever to come into a game and dish it out to Henson, Zeller, Bullock and Barnes. /sarcasm

But seriously, there are at least 6 first round draft picks that just need to catch the ball in the right spot, I am sure that Watts will be up for it.

"It is always weird to watch CJL and Zo together in a presser - I always anticipate Zo being more articulate but he just seems nervous and basically doesn't say anything except "I mean" and "I guess" and then CJL starts up with his deep ass voice and his newly matured personality"

for a lot of those guys, namely brown and howell, if you listen to their post-game interviews that are just audio and with the same four reporters that they see after every game, it's night and day compared to when they're on camera.

they're just nervous, is what i'm trying to say.

3/22/2012 6:58:47 PM

Does Stilman White have vitiligo?

3/22/2012 6:59:13 PM

Zo does sound like he's bored or is tired of answering the same questions. But he does sound very intelligent.

3/22/2012 7:05:01 PM

Stilman White, aka Patches

3/22/2012 7:17:45 PM

^^Not that I disagree with you, but to me CJL sounds very intelligent at the press conferences. He really knows how to think out and articulate an answer. I think his intelligence is overlooked even more so than Lorenzo.

3/22/2012 7:21:51 PM

we start jumping and then along with it go "ooooooooooooo" and get louder like "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH" and then switch to "PACK! PACK! PACK! PACK! OOOOOO PACK! PACK! PACK! PACK! OOOOOOOOOOOO! POWER PACK! POWER PACK! BACK THE PACK!" and then play a loud rockin rap song or somethin. i think it would get things crazy.

3/22/2012 7:45:00 PM

i prefer "Splotch" or "Splotchy"

3/22/2012 7:49:41 PM

Ready to post victory pictures tomorrow night. These will have to do until then:

"For both Lorenzo and C.J. coach has talked about there's a difference between wanting to win and being confident and expecting to win. It seems that this team has gotten to the point where they're confident and expect to win and I'm curious where does that come from? Does it come from coach? Does it come from some of the results over the second half of the season? Does it just come from greater discipline and accountability in practice? Where does that come from, that belief? C.J. LESLIE: You can get it from a number of places. It comes from coach, it comes from playing in tough games, and a tough schedule that we played in in the beginning of the season. It comes from that. It comes from believing within yourself that you can win these types of games. So it can come from a number of places. I don't think you can just say it came from one place. It comes from being with your team and knowing that your team can win tough games in tough situations."

Shit gave me chills. Let's go out and win this mother fucker! #WOLFBLOOD

3/22/2012 7:58:59 PM

3/22/2012 8:00:59 PM

3/22/2012 8:03:00 PM

3/22/2012 8:04:46 PM

Pretty sure it's Staats Battle.

3/22/2012 8:05:14 PM

3/22/2012 8:06:12 PM

Omg, is that wood

[Edited on March 22, 2012 at 8:14 PM. Reason : I really think it's Wood, 1 of 2 players wearing a white undershirt.]

3/22/2012 8:08:32 PM

Wait, Wood's getting horizontal?? And there are pictures?? I missed it??

3/22/2012 8:09:14 PM

He's not horizontal on top of you. Relax

3/22/2012 8:12:21 PM

3/22/2012 8:12:45 PM

EAT THIS APPLE, WHITE BOY

3/22/2012 8:13:16 PM

i'm talking about the uncontested dunk. it looks like it could be #13 or #15 (not #30)

3/22/2012 8:13:16 PM

It's Wood.

3/22/2012 8:14:49 PM

3/22/2012 8:43:09 PM

I'm glad he did not slip off of the rim and break a collar bone or worse

Talked with a KU grad at work today. he was very confident they win. I bring this up only because last time he was very confident they lost to VCU.

I live in Kansas City and have been sporting my wolfpack gear all week. All the ribbing has been pretty reasonable from the fans with the exception of an old ass man in a ratty KU t-shirt following me around the grocery store to give me dirty looks the entire time I was in the store.

3/22/2012 11:02:35 PM

They should roll us. VCU forced a ton of turnovers and hit a bunch of 3s. We need the same recipe to beat them.

3/22/2012 11:03:17 PM

ahhhhhhhh, theres skokian

That article's pretty great. I had sort of forgotten over the past 14 years how hateable Dean Smith could be.

3/23/2012 1:59:54 AM

I'm going to propose how to watch tomorrow nights game.

#1. Buy 750ML of whiskey. I recommend Bulleit, just don't get something expensive and don't get something shitty. You don't want to drink $100 whiskey during a loss and you don't want to drink $8 whiskey during a loss or win.

#2 Limited remote control skills are needed for tomorrow if you're watching at home. Do NOT watch alone. Go to a fucking bar if you must. Otherwise, invite friends over or go to someone's house where you can drink and watch. You do NOT want to be alone during a win and you do NOT want to be alone during a loss.


#3 Watch some Xavier/Baylor for a half. Don't allow yourself to become emotionally attached. Watch the game while you text on the phone, eat some food, and ready your testes. Sip your drink to slight buzz.

#4 Switch to UNC/Ohio when it begins and scream wildly at the refs while drinking. Take this game seriously as fuck. If Ohio pulls ahead early get a little TOO excited and start drinking heavily. Increase the amount of yelling.

#5 At halftime of the UNC game go pee your everliving sac off. Bitch and moan about the refs and how if UNC was playing a better team they'd be losing. Text a picture of your nutsac to your UNC friends and tell them "UNC sucks nutsac"

#6 Switch briefly to the Baylor/Xavier game so that you don't have to hear the halftime guys slurp UNC's balls red about how well they're playing without Kimberly Marshall. Don't even give a fuck about what is happening. Concentrate more on farting out the living room than you do who is winning.

#7 Switch back to the UNC/Ohio game as soon as the 2nd half begins unless UNC is already up by 10+ and the Baylor/Xavier game looks exciting. There is a well known tournament rule that if you don't watch a favorite when they have a big lead they might squander it to try to draw bigger ratings.

#8 If the UNC/Ohio game is close, ramp up the drinking. Start being aggressive. Text your UNC friends that you hope they manage to overcome all the adversity to beat University of Phoenix because they will be playing men's basketball teams once they reach the elite 8.

#9 At the conclusion of the UNC game if they win let all your anger go. Just let it go. Dont even acknowledge it, turn off your phone now and hand it to your girlfriend. Only bad things can happen from here on out, including texts that could cost you relationships with your girl, her parents, your parents, friends, acquaintances, facebook friends, and people with access to the internet. If they lost then ramp up the drinking to previously unknown levels. Don't be concerned about passing out now. UNC just lost and you have to become a machine. If they won, steady the course.

#10 Switch to the Kansas/Indiana game. Pull for Indiana initially. If there's one team we can't fucking beat it's Kentucky. They are made of a metal alloy called adamantium like Wolverine from the Xmen. Do NOT invest yourself. If you invest yourself in another team 30 minutes before we tipoff you will cause yourself to shit blood in the first half of our game.

#11 3-5 minutes prior to tipoff switch to our game. I don't care what Indiana is doing, they will probably collapse in the 2nd half anyway or get screwed by the officials. You need to soak in our pre-game nerves. You need to see how Gottfried's hair looks, how red CJW's eyes are, and how often CJL is scouting the crowd to see if the Atlanta Hawks GM is there.

#12 At tipoff get fucking excited. Drink like there's no tomorrow. There may not be. Get pissed. The first time the ref blows the whistle get angry. The first time you pee, really smack the fucking back of the porcelain with your stream. Get riled up. Have a fucking attitude. Make other people feel uncomfortable knowing you.

#13 Always, always during the game say "If we win, I am going to paint the town Red". Threaten to take a full bottle of Heinz 57 ketchup and open it and spray it in a circular motion while twisting it around your head like a helicopter. This went over really well at Sammy's during the first game against SDSU, trust me. People were enthralled and simultaneously nervous about being painted red.

#14 If we win go fucking nuts. If we lose be so drunk you cant remember what year it is. Whatever you do, make the biggest ass of yourself possible. But do NOT have your phone on you. Just drink and stay away from the internet. Don't post on the internet, dont facebook, dont text, dont drive, and for god's sake dont punch a woman just because you thought you saw her make a closed fist first.


LETS FUCKING DO THIS
