Title: Official NCAA Basketball Thread
Post by: Thimas X on February 11, 2006, 08:11:50 PM

MARCH MADNESS is just a block away


so lets start with the potential #1 draft pick:

Morrison: NBA teams shouldn't worry about illness

SPOKANE, Wash. -- The biggest whispered question NBA folks have about Adam Morrison is whether he can handle the rigors of the pro schedule while dealing with diabetes.

Well, Morrison has an answer for them: Don't fret.

He's not. Never has. Never will.

Morrison's unbelievably special, entertaining junior season has pro scouts seriously debating whether to select him No. 1 in the NBA draft, if he declares. The floppy-haired, '70s-stache-stylin' shooting forward leads the country in scoring.

But nearly lost is the fact that he plays with a disease that constantly has to be managed.

There are no days off for a diabetic like Morrison. None. That doesn't mean Morrison isn't ready to handle the rigors of the NBA.

"I played those three straight games in Maui, one being three overtimes, and played 52 minutes [and scored 43 points against Michigan State], and that proved that I can play at a high level," Morrison said. "My body was fine, my blood sugars were fine, because I maintain them."

And, when he gets to the NBA, whether that's this summer or next, he will have his own army to ensure he doesn't slip.

"I'll have somebody to cook for me, a nutritionist to set up meals to what he/she thinks could help me out for games and stuff like that," Morrison said. "I'll hire somebody to make sure all my supplies are there. The games are tough, but correct me if I'm wrong, the practices aren't as grueling as some of the college ones."

To understand how Morrison deals with diabetes, you must go back and hear how this all unfolded.

His father, John, a former junior college coach, says he knew something was wrong with Adam in eighth grade when he was getting tired a lot. He was playing ball but always feeling fatigued. And then, one day after a game, the two of them went to Subway. John said Adam had finished his foot-long sub before he had taken a bite. Adam then wanted half of his father's within minutes. A friend told John that he thought Adam didn't look right. He already had an appointment for him to see a doctor, but he called and took Adam in immediately. The doctor said Adam's numbers were off the charts and needed to be treated. Diabetes, according to John Morrison, does run in the family.

"I just remember being real sick for a good month," Adam Morrison said. "I went to camp and I had three points the whole weekend and I knew something was wrong with me. I couldn't function. I couldn't do anything. I started losing weight and would always be hungry and thirsty. I just remember getting the call and heading to the emergency room."

Morrison said he was in the emergency room in a Spokane hospital when a doctor came in and delivered his life-changing news, something that one would think could be devastating to an eighth-grader.

"I went from one day eating anything to someone telling you, 'You can't eat this, you gotta eat this,' and 'It's time to take a shot,' and it was like, 'Whoa.' " Morrison said.

"I was scared when I was in the emergency room, but after that everyone thought I would be scared, but I wasn't," Morrison said. "I knew if I would just take this seriously I would be fine. My doctor told me I could lead a normal life."

From the first time he needed a shot of insulin, Morrison handled it. Even as an eighth-grader, Morrison took control of the situation and wouldn't let anyone else take/give the shot but him.

"The nurse said, 'Do you want to do it or I can do it?' and I said, 'I'll do it,' so I never would have to rely on somebody else doing it for me," Morrison said.

Morrison's routine is rigid. He eats three meals a day at a "normal" time, at least three hours apart. He checks his blood sugar and ensures he gets enough sleep. On game day, he eats the same breakfast (cereal and toast), same lunch (sub sandwich) and dinner (steak and baked potato two hours and 15 minutes before every game).

"I've gotten to the point where I've never had a bad blood/sugar level where it's affected me in a game," Morrison said. "As you can see, I've prepared my body to where I can play at a high-level for very high minutes. I knew there was a misconception coming into this year where I couldn't play at a high-level with this disease. But I can take care of my body just like everyone else."

He has juice, protein bars, all the "emergency stuff," including medicine lined up courtside for practices and games. He'll check himself throughout the course of both. He said he has had a few modest lapses in the past eight years.

"I've been close (like passing out or something), because there are going to be days where stuff goes wrong," Morrison said. "But nothing too serious."

The toughest part of dealing with it for Morrison is not always being the footloose college kid.

"I'm not going to say I don't have a good time every once in a while, but there's always the added pressure of doing all the stuff that's not good for your body. Being in college, it's hard not to but you've got to be mentally tough, and I've done a pretty good job so far," Morrison said.

Morrison said the feeling when he needs a shot, a boost, is pretty much the same as if you or I didn't eat all day and were lightheaded.

"You're just kind of shaky," Morrison said. "Have you ever not eaten lunch and gone to play hoops? That's what it feels like pretty much. Your body just craves sugar and once you get it in your body, you start coming back and feeling better."

Morrison is aware of his status as a potential role model.

"It would be nice to get the message out this disease kills a lot of people in America a year and a lot of people go without the proper medical supplies because it's very expensive," Morrison said. "If you don't have insurance it's hard to afford all the stuff you need. It would be nice to get on a bigger forum and get that message out and hopefully I can change some things."

Until then, he's on a mission to ensure any NBA personnel director or general manager who has had doubts about his condition no longer will.

Yo, Adam Morrison got a career high 44 the other nite!

March 16 is when we bring out our brackets!?

Loving USC upsetting UCLA!!

Crazy Coaches: Indiana's Mike Davis + Missouri's Quinn Snyder resigning. Eddie Sutton drunkeness. doesn't top this old news gem:

Conference USA said Monday that officials "exercised poor judgment" when they upheld a technical foul called on Houston coach Tom Penders after he collapsed Saturday during a game against UAB.

Penders passed out on the sideline late in the first half of Houston's 82-79 loss and was carried off the floor on a stretcher and given oxygen. He returned to coach the second half. (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=2303510)

and Stanford's Drunk Tree Mascot :lol:

Quote from: Jim Rome

I think you all know my feelings on mascots. Basically, they are stupid. Some student, dressed in a beaver, or a lion or a bear costume, jumping around next to the cheerleaders, bringing absolutely nothing to the game. The only time you even notice these freaks is when they accidentally light themselves on fire, break their legs or otherwise maim themselves with their absurd stunts. Well, now you can add being drunk during a game to that long list of distinguished accomplishments.

The Stanford Tree, as far as stupid mascots go, this might be the stupidest, has been fired from her duties after she showed up for a basketball game against Cal with a blood-alcohol level of 0.157. That would be nearly twice the legal limit in the State of California. Erin Lashnits, a 5th year senior, and the loser inside the tree was stripped of her oh-so-prestigious ‘tree’ responsibilities, which are part of the band. The band had already been placed on ‘alcohol suspension’ which means there was a zero tolerance policy in effect toward drunkenness.

Band spokesperson Sam Urmy said that Lashnits was whacked to avoid disciplinary action from the athletic department. “We don’t want to risk our core mission of rocking out and bringing funk to the funkless”, explained Urmy.

Let me help you with something here. Let me tell you exactly what your ‘core mission’ is. Your core mission is to remind the rest of the world exactly what band geeks are. To remind everyone why they beat you up in high school, how big of a loser you are. That’s your ‘core mission’ and you are succeeding spectacularly. Trust me; no one is going ton miss the tree.

And #2 Villanova (my alma mater) lost to #15 Pittsburgh.  I doubt anyone expected both U.Conn. and Villanova to knocked out of the Big East tournament.

Quote from: scrock7

Pretty close.  As you noted, the NCAA tournament brackets are available now, and the #1 seeds went to U.Conn., Duke, Villanova, and Memphis.  Gonzaga got a #3 seed in the same bracket as Memphis.  Ohio State got a #2 seed in Villanova's bracket.

Also, having 8 Big East teams in the tournament has broken the conference record of 7, which both the Big East and the Big Ten have done before.  Just another little note of something interesting I saw while skimming some articles.

I thought U.Conn. might be out, being down by about 6 points in the last minute or so of their game against Washington, but they came back to tie and then win in overtime.  I assume they'll beat George Mason (an 11 seed), which means that if Villanova can beat Florida, it will very likely be Connecticut vs. Villanova to get to the final.  (Being a Villanova alumni, naturally I'm rooting for them to continue winning.)  I believe the two teams are pretty evenly matched, so I'm not sure there's a strong favorite in that match-up.  I know towards they end of the season they played each other twice, once at each school, and went 1-1, so I expect that will be a tough game.  That's assuming it happens, which of course it may not.

I was a bit surprised that Duke was knocked out.  But there are still a lot of high seeds in the 8 -- only one team isn't a 1-4 seed.  Of course, this is why they play the games.  There are always upsets.  If there weren't, then you could theoretically just rank the teams and go straight to the final four with the four #1 seeds.  :)

Definitely this year's NCAA tourney has been so unpredictable. Definitely shot my bracket down with George Mason having a cinderella run. They certainly became a sentimental favorite considering everyones bracket became toilet paper. I really hoped that they would make it all the way to the finals but they were pretty much shut down by Florida and Noah. Hopefully the finals won't be a blow out Florida will have their hands full against UCLA.

Oden finally stayed out of foul trouble and showed what he could od at the offensive end and Conley is just brilliant, but Florida was simply too good as a team and shot particularly well from behind the arc. Gotta feel a bit for Lewis though, he's 6'3 and defended by someone 6 5 inches taller (and Brewer just happens to be the best perimeter defender at college level).

Can't wait for the nba draft!

The University of North Carolina-Asheville men’s basketball team has perhaps the most effective inbounds play in the country: the Bulldogs’ point guard lofts the ball high toward the basket, and center Kenny George either tips it in or dunks it, without leaving his feet, as his opponents leap in vain.

KANSAS, fuck yes.  happy to see my old school win it after a 20-year drought. 'twas an awesome game too, although if memphis had just freaking fouled before chalmers could make the miracle shot they could have iced it.

now kansas has a history of losing their coach immediately after playing in a title game -> larry brown in 1988, roy in 2003, and now maybe bill...they're talking about a 6-million dollar signing bonus to move to osu, that's a shitload of money for a college coach.

Good profile of the late Don Haskins (http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/news?slug=dw-haskins090808), the coach who started an all-black starting five in an NCAA title game.

DAMN YOU PURDUE! THOSE TWO BLOCKS BY JOHNSON NEAR THE END WON IT FOR PURDUE. I can accept a loss, Purdue lead from the beginning and never looked back. Fucking war down in the paint for rebounds and 2nd change points.

Its good anyway, Isiah Thomas is a freshman, he got plenty of time to become a better player. Sad that Brockman wont see that happen since he is a Senior. If only we were able to penetrate and get to the basket in the beginning of the game, Washington would have won and I would be celebrating a Sweet 16 appearance.

Of course the brains behind Nike has something to do with it.

Considering Oregon's deep-rooted ties to Nike, it shouldn't surprise anyone that Tinker Hatfield is the designer of the floor. Hatfield, a former Oregon track and field star and vice president of design and special projects for Nike, designed many of the shoes from the famed Air Jordan line.

1) Can you imagine having a rooting interest in this game?  I don't think my stomach could handle,

2) A whole lotta anger and bile was spewed but...  I dunno, can't they just drag ass back onto the court and replay the last couple seconds?  Maybe give 'em another second so the conference won't get sued or something.

I must be naive when it comes to sports injustice: these things MUST be fixable, no?

I didn't go to Rutgers but living in Jersey and having a lot of friends and family being Rutgers alums I don't think I'll stop hearing about this for years to come. They simply got screwed by the refs.

Unfortunately, from what I've heard, this wasn't a reviewable situation. The refs needed to whistle a violation in order to review. Since the refs were blind and didn't see a violation, no review.

Gotta say tho, pretty powerful shit from the other members. The Brotherhood theme is one that I love, that you go to war for your bros, no matter what they do. This is how I live my life and for my HiPstaz. Jimmy King nailed it on the head. The legacy remains, but it's pretty sad they couldn't really excel in the bigs.

And it really glares the fucking hypocrisy that is college sports. If they so care about their legacy, then fucking don't take money from CBS/TNT/tru TV and air all the games on PBS. They wouldn't be here without the college athletes, without corporate sponsorships for their goddamn research facilities. To them, it's all about they own face and recruitment numbers is what matters. Chris Webber is just another statistic and not a fucking human being who just needed a few extra spending dollars n shit. What he did, was his own fault but to fucking take away the Fab 5 from the history books. Shit is wack.

^ It really shows that college don't take care of their athletes, I don't blame a lot of them because many come from poor areas, and they need a source to help them, but from the rule it makes sense but still there has to be something to help them student-athletes

HEY wb roks lol

No one talking about ssssshit Jim Boeheim assistant's pedo shit? That is loaded piece of mess that stinks of ESPN and makes me loathe em even more. You get them sitting on the story for years and then they break it out suddenly with the accusers going all "He touched my penis (so many) times" like they were trying to one up Bob Costas Sandusky interview. Then Boeheim goes into full man mode saying WTF but not having a clue yeah his assistant was some sick fuck, and his wife was even sicker having sex with the students ... what a load of shit indeed.

Then there's stories like this that make much better sense. Heard this on Jim Rome when University Of Kansas coach Bill Self talking about potential Player of the Year candidate Thomas Robinson and how Robinson losing his grand parents and mother last year, DESPITE going through so much, Thomas’ perseverance inspires yet Self won’t coach Thomas differently than any other player.
