Re: Maui Invitational Thread
Wisconsin & Georgetown fans on this board are the biggest homers on the face of the earth.

Re: Maui Invitational Thread
If you honestly think Scheyer is a better player than Michael Flowers or Vernon Macklin, then you need to examine your own homerism. I won't deny my own homerism, but Flowers was the best defensive player (and a starter) on last year's 30 win Wisconsin team. He started the year before as a sophomore, and is now only coming off the bench because of a mysterious medical leave of absence he took in the preseason.
Plus Scheyer just isn't that good. He's not better than Josh Shipp or Luc Richard Mbah-a-Moute either. He's not better than whomever is going to come off the bench for Kansas in their backcourt.

That's why it was a question. Read my post. My comment about your homerism is a result of you or apel coming in half the time and mentioning Wisconsin and their superiority.
"Scheyer isn't that good"? Maybe not best 6th man, but your statement is just ignorant.

Haha, c'mon. Throw Kansas and especially Gonzaga fans into that mix. I'll talk a lot more about teams outside of Wisconsin, and especially outside the Big Ten once some real games get brewing.
Haven't been able to watch Duke yet tonight, wasn't really planning on it either, seeing's how they're playing Princeton. I'll definitely tune into their game tomorrow night.

Yeah sure, I can do that. You don't think Duke will win at Cameron?
