NCAA Basketball Regular Season Thread

Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun will have to take an indefinite medical leave of absence to address spinal stenosis, a lower back condition that causes him severe pain and hampers his mobility.

“Last summer, Jim had some significant back pain and has seen two excellent back specialists,” said Dr. Peter Schulman, Calhoun’s primary care doctor. “The initial approach recommended to him was stretching, physical therapy and exercise, and that was successful for several months. It turns out that there is some degenerative problem in the lumbar vertebrae and it’s impinging on the nerves.”

The Huskies have struggled lately, dropping four consecutive games and falling out of the Top 25 after a 12-1 start to the season.

Hopefully he won't be out too long.

Finally! Buckeyes hadn't beat them in Madison since 2000, glad they put an end to that!

Wisconsin hoisted 27 3s (half of their FG attempts)

I miss Mario Chalmers...This team has been plagued by un-clutch guys since he left

Why in the world did T-Rob not get the ball on those last few possessions when you guys were down by two?

 

[CameronCrazy06]

He might have if Taylor hadn't turned it over before he had the chance to get it to him.

T-Rob is the real deal though. I wasn't sold on him being NPOY until last night. Dude is an absolute monster.

 

[The Young One]

It's all good we'll win by 15 in Lawrence.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Only 5 weeks till the brackets come out...

 

[Hurricane Season]

Reggie Johnson with a monster performance.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Duke killed themselves in OT going 0-6 from the FT line. Ruined what was a great comeback...

 

[elcheato]

Kelsey Barlow took a dump on Sully

 

[The Young One]

I wish Coach Self would try to be passionate and let the refs know when your star player is getting fouled like Matta.

 

[elcheato]

Dan Dakich is such a douche

 

[elcheato]

Will the Thrill closing the deal. Solid. Gonna need him to play somewhere near this level to make a tourney run.
