UNC was going fast too, but couldnt put the ball in the hoop. If you thought Auburn was not fun to watch, then I assume you prefer the virginia style. That is no fun to me
A lot of people watch games thru the prism of hate. He dislikes Bruce Pearl, so the Auburn victory produced an ugly style of basketball. I had pool interest in UNC winning, but didn’t jade my opinion of what was an exciting game to view, and excellent execution by Auburn.
Sorry for not being clear. I was referring to UNC. They were all athletes and their offense was 1 pass and then one on one. Auburn was shooting lights out. They didn't have the athletes UNC had so they had to play basketball. Also I still don't like Bruce Pearl.
Weird that the fire Muller crowd immediately goes into attack mode about how not liking someone jades their opinion. Hmmmm. I wonder if that applies too their view of ISU. Hmm nah
He’s a man of the people. I enjoy his antics.Humdinger said:Didn't used to like Pearl at all and I'd relish the times when crowds would roast him...but honestly, over time I've come to enjoy him a little bit. He teaches a damn good entertaining brand of basketball and whoever he's coaching is typically a tough out this time of year.

I always love the Illini hate of Pearl because he called them out for cheating. I saw Bob Knight speak (I’m not a huge Knight fan), but he claims Illinois was the dirtiest school in the Big Ten when he was coaching.
I look past the moral flaws and like teams that play exciting up tempo basketball. That’s why I hope Virginia gets beat today and loved seeing Michigan go down.

I remember that!
Also, Mr. Williams has always played that style, don't ya think?

I’m at the point where cheating would be ok.
