Fourth quarter? What game were you at again?...

Go Tommies!

... $:-\$

Sorry, late night miscue. Meant the last 10 minutes of the 2nd half

Aside from a number of insane dunks by Robinson, my favorite part was Devendorf's shot and subsequently getting waved off. I'm not sure I have ever seen such an arrogant player.

Seriously, I'm not sure who that guy thinks he is. Did you see his TO-like celebration after his 3 against Providence?

Yeah Devendorf is a completely joke but at the same time good tv. I wouldn't mind someone giving him an elbow at some point in this tournament.

Are people going to be watching/listening to the Tommie game tonight? I'd appreciate updates on here while I'm working. Thank god for the iPhone

Obviously the final score will be the most important final statistic in tonight's UST-UPS game, but with two teams that like to get after other teams & press, my rather obvious theory is this:

The team that controls the turnover battle will win tonight's game. Am I all wet? Let's see if my theory is holds up to the test.

Team: Turnover margin Assist/TO ratio Steals

UST +7.72 1.60 11.48/game
UPS +6.04 0.98 10.96/game

My Pick: UST by 7

I am going to be stuck at work as well. Apparently Wells Fargo has blocked the video feed on me

I would also appreciate updates. I wish the game would have been at 8pm rather than 6pm. Obviously the tournament schedulers forgot to contact me when they were setting up the times.

Drake you are starting to sound like me! Those stats have been the key to all of UST's victories this year. They force an inordinate amount of turnovers, primarily off steals, and they take care of the ball as well. That is a cologne that will hide stinky shooting percentages quite well. Not that they necessarily shoot poorly. I am just saying if they did. I anticipate the shots will fall tonight.

UST 87 UPS 78

I'll try and update tonight if I can....all depends on whether or not the ball and chain will let me stare at a computer monitor for 2 hours or not

Just tell her that two guys you've never met need your help because they're stuck at work. I'm sure she'll understand

I can try as well if no one else is, at least 2nd half. The wife has a get-together at the neighbors and 7, so will be watching UST/ACC/Big East while packing for the spring break trip to Jekyll Island, Ga.

I was planning on putting updates on the NWC-in game board...but if you want I can post some in here too.

Alright – Game time less than 20 minutes away

Downloaded Microsoft's Silversaber (Silverlight) to take over my computer - Check

Video functioning properly - check

Popcorn ready - check
Beverages - check
Pizza on order: check
Lucky socks - check

And first typo of night & it's not mine – check:

CBS spells Puget "Pugent"

Omen.

Good luck everyone - hang tight!

WW,

If you can't get the audio or video from this site, the MSBN is also carrying an audio web cast of the game www.mnsportsnetwork.com

Drake Palmer · March 13, 2009, 07:05:15 PM

UST up early 7-5 but the video is like 8 seconds behind the audio.

buf · March 13, 2009, 07:08:13 PM

UST up 12-5, 15:24
