That's what we chant when Simmons drains 8 straight 3's.

I have a topic we can all rally around... It was pretty obvious to anybody who's watched basketball in the last 10 years this game would be meaningful. How does the league office decide to put 'Gate/American on TV this weekend?

Oh, and I'll take Badmus any day.

One question: Is McNaughton legitmately German or is he an American born on a military base in Germany? I need to know if the U-S-A chant will actually be effective.

And GoBison, I think all HC fans would take Thomas and all BU fans would take Badmus. There's really no debate there.

How can you not give Badmus the edge after you yourself admit that Abe has owned Thomas the past two games?

Last night at the game, I was also reminded how quick Abe is. I mean, Villanova quick.

I think you need to be a bit more responsible with your journalism. You shouldn't be giving HC fans that kind of false hope.

I was thinking that exact same thing earlier today. Clearly if there was one game during the whole season that you could have picked 6 months ago as a likely showdown game, this is it. I know they showed the first match, but if it had to be just one, THIS is the one.

His father is American (played football for Lafayette) and he holds dual citizenship. He grew up in Germany.

After having played Duke at Cameron Indoor, Syracuse in the dome, Pitt at Petersen, St Joes on Hawk Hill, Villanova at their place, and Kansas on national TV (as well as three games in the Hart), I doubt if any chant will affect him much one way or the other.

Is there any way NESN, FSNE, or ESPNU/CSTV pick this game up on TV?

Lee vs Simmons and Badmus vs Lee

I wonder if Boxman's friend still gives the edge to Simmons over Lee.

As to the Thomas - Badmus matchup, I see that Thomas shot 1 for 11 in this game, which gives him a 21.8% shooting pct (12 for 55) against the Bison over their last eight matchups. While the Bison matchup zone and bad luck likely accounts for some of the poor shooting, I would think that the defense of Badmus likely gets a fair amount of credit as well.
