It ain't crap Huck. I watch basketball. Why do you think they got only six teams in? Why has it been a quarter century since a conference school cut down the nets? Who was the last to even make a final four? Michigan six years ago? No way is this this conference as strong as the period I was...

B1G went 4-2 in first round. Better than I thought they would. It is no longer the toughest or second toughest men's basketball conference. It is more like fifth or sixth. Think of that the next time you compare Fran to Tom, or point out how many first time all B1G Fran has produced. This...

Hey, 20,000 posts! Nice milestone Fry:)

Fun fact. He shares a birthday (day amd year) with former Smiths frontman Morrissey. May 23, 1959. I am the son And the heir Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar...of nothing in particular

Their coach is named after a disgusting breakfast drink.

The Payton show, then the Krikke show. Josh almost looks like he's trying to play through an injury. Jumper looks flat as a pancake.

looks like a good crowd Sandfort Ballin. Need Josh D to join him.

The only upside I can see to not playing is that it could give coaches a head start in recruiting and checking into the transfer portal. If that is true than the tail is truly wagging the dog, and the portal is truly out of control. The NCAA may need to declare a no contact rule until the...

They lost that game because they sucked at the FT line. Marble alone was something like 5-13. In that 90-89 game I remember two things. One, Dick Vitale might as well been Valvano's agent with his one sided commentary. Two, NC State had a wide open look at the end of regulation and it rimmed...

Maybe he has a future as a student manager. They players they brought in and are bringing in next year suggest he doesnt have much of one as a B1G caliber player.

Among other events, Blake Shelton is playing at the TaxSlayer on March 26 or 27. That might take the Quad Cities out of the running for a second round game. Remember the year the women had to play an NCAA game on the road because Carver had a Guns N Roses concert booked. It was one of the...

Wisconsin made a nice NIT run last year, added Storr in the portal, and parlayed that into a return to the NCAA'S this season. And darn near stole the automatic bid.

Reminds me of 1987 when Iowa drew the winner of the Arizona/UTEP 7 vs 10 game. They got either a team playing on their home floor or a severely underseeded UTEP team. UTEP advanced and then gave Iowa all they could handle. If not for the energy UTEP had to expend surviving Arizona in OT Iowa...

Not only did ISU not get a 1 seed, they got about as tough a draw as could have been handed to them. Isn't their first round opponent TJ's former school? Then a potential second round matchup with a severely underrated and underseeded Drake team? Wisconsin got a tremendous break with the...

Oh they will get in. But it's not a slam dunk. Alford's last team had a similar record and didn't get an NIT bid. Iowa is in a group of about two dozen teams where the difference between them is basically splitting hairs. And some of those teams are going to get screwed. Minnesota being...

Show me where this team is even a lock for the NIT. In our league alone you're competing with OSU, Indiana and Minnesota. Teams like Kansas State and Providence are out there, VA Tech, Seton Hall, Washington, Boston College, Butler, Georgia, LSU, a bunch of A-10 teams, on and on.

They preferred the hockey game between LSU and and South Carolina instead.

Didn't bother them vs Wisconsin a few weeks ago. Illinois defense and effort had a lot to do with this performance. If what you're suggesting is true (and I don't think it is) that these players are nervous in front of sellout home crowds and would rather play in front of 8-9,000 in a morgue...

Illinois is a bad matchup for us. Stellar free throw shooting carried the day for us versus them last year. This year we fell behind, settled for the perimeter, and haven't gotten to the line enough.

Getting annihilated on the boards.
