I think it became in vogue during Gerry McNamara and Carmelo Anthony's freshman year when they won the NC. They stormed the court several times that season so people may think it brings them luck. Who knows. Maybe they just do it because it is fun.CycleDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08933822029791530613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-92039926208678523142007-02-27T17:41:00.000-05:002007-02-27T17:41:00.000-05:00Or, what about #1 Ohio State beating #2 Wisconsin ...Or, what about #1 Ohio State beating #2 Wisconsin AT HOME with the Badger's top rebounder/#3 scorer out most of the game?

When everyone in the student section can agree that "this is the biggest victory we're ever going to see in our four-year career at this school" is the only time it's appropriate. Syracuse over Georgetown in a regular-season game--not that huge an upset, when you come down to it--simply doesn't qualify.markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02367754765898020281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-4072701388042167152007-02-27T15:43:00.000-05:002007-02-27T15:43:00.000-05:00despite the close win last night, i'm still on boa...despite the close win last night, i'm still on board with Kansas. Sure, the track record isn't favorable, but the way the jayhawks are just blowing out teams -- unlike, say, Ohio State -- is speaking loudly right now.The Big Picturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00824849961968298355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-36411485702795072982007-02-27T15:32:00.000-05:002007-02-27T15:32:00.000-05:00You ignore so many factors about the Syracuse win....You ignore so many factors about the Syracuse win.<BR/><BR/>1) Georgetown was a top-10 team and Syracuse was unranked... few people picked the Orange to win.<BR/><BR/>2) It was Senior Night (and the last home game).<BR/><BR/>3) Georgetown is Syracuse's most hated basketball rival. Always has been, always will be... even when UConn was good.<BR/><BR/>4) The win secured Syracuse a spot in the Big Dance.<BR/><BR/>Plenty of reason to storm the court... and I'd have been there with them.CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00332618572275553171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-14761573692681183662007-02-27T14:13:00.000-05:002007-02-27T14:13:00.000-05:00I remember a game against Texas a few years ago wh...I remember a game against Texas a few years ago where Kansas ended up winning by a point with a late basket. A group of about 15-20 fans stormed the court. They were then booed by the other 14,300 people in the fieldhouse. Act like you've been there before. Syracuse is just a few years removed from a National Championship, a perennial tourney team. They should be embarrassed and I loved Cowherd ripping them this morning on the radio.<BR/><BR/>KU got what they needed last night. They needed a close game as their "wake up call". And unlike Florida or UNC, they did it and still won. But free throw shooting (again) could be their downfall.jhawkjjmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297634924511036895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-64712439100233156752007-02-27T13:50:00.000-05:002007-02-27T13:50:00.000-05:00I love storming the court - but it's only appropri...I love storming the court - but it's only appropriate when you've just won a huge game that nobody expected you to win, you win a championship or your team sucks and you pull off a huge upset.<BR/><BR/>Syracuse is the defending Big East Champion. So it's really just a statement about how lousy they are this year than anything else. A team like that should expect to win Big East games, it's what they do.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00617207710938001790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-89246792039167107362007-02-27T13:23:00.000-05:002007-02-27T13:23:00.000-05:00Do you think, as he signed the contract, David Ste...Do you think, as he signed the contract, David Stern had muttered, "Damn, I can't believe Gary Bettman beat me to this!"The Legend of Vincent Tremblayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12141687990907230328noreply@blogger.com
