How hilarious would it be if OSU won the BTT.
"He commented more than once that, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'" Kelly recalled to The Times. Kelly said he would usually quash the conversation by saying "nothing (Hitler) did, you could argue, was good," but that Trump would occasionally bring up the topic again.

If they did they would have climbed all the way back to 500.  Maybe a 13 or 12 seed.

Michigan St. might have guarded hard today. But its loads of bigs and wings must not have switched to the primary/default offense.
I am a former 5-star general. Or maybe it was 4-star.
Nichi claims a guard with a 1.3 assist-to-TO ratio is a good passer.

Did they beat COK? I didn't have a chance to check most of the other scores.

Miami did not guard hard and lost to Duke.

Duke is playing really well now that it has established its primary/default offense.

(This place is GREAT for learning more nonsensical basketball terminology! Who knew that "playing good defense" and "base defense" could be expressed in so many confusing ways?)

Better than Baseless Defense, or On Ball Defensive Pressure?

Vandy just bounced one of the bubble teams yesterday.  OSU could steal another one. 

Illinois might be sweating this one out.  We are more likely to be a 10 or 11 than an 8 or 9.  2-11 Q1 record is concerning.

Illinois might play dogshit Arkansas in an 8/9 game. Or Fla. Atlantic.

IVMP barely grasps basic English. Figurative and idiomatic language seems to go over his head. I suspect English might not be his first language.

Ball screens, back door screens, hedging,

Just yesterday, you claimed a primary and a default defense are the same thing. You also claimed the team changed defenses because of lack of depth during the season when the injured player was hurt in the preseason. Then you tried to edit your post so that it appeared to be different after you were called out on this.

Edey just drew an OSU foul 40 feet from the basket. Nichi just hate-slammed a piping hot cup of Sanka.

There is s good example of inability to understand figurative language, and a lack of reading comprehension skills.

In the post he referred to I suggested the team might have had the depth to play pressure defense before injuries and defections.

However, they never went with pressure as the default defense. The primary defense to start the season was a switching man. They later scrapped that, though it remained an option.

While pressure defense was never the default setting this season, it was also still an option they used for stretches to overcome deficits.

I dunno if IVMP is really that stupid, or if his default setting / modus operandi is being obnoxious.

You still think default and primary mean the same thing.

I wonder where IVMP gets stuff like this? Is he drawing on some perverse ageist stereotype? Is Sanka (ugh!) somehow associated with cartoon seasoned citizens? Was IVMP abused by his grandfather?

Personally, I'd rather drink water. I never saw the point of decaffeinated coffee. That would be like smoking industrial hemp. I drink coffee for the caffeine. Hills Brothers is my default brand. Period.
