ENOUGH WITH THE DOG RELATED STATEMENTS, JIM NANTZ.

 

reason #485 that Nantz should be relegated to golf and Gus Johnson should get to call the Final Four

 

You just know he was sitting in his hotel room yesterday and today thinking about all the different dog phrases he could use tonight and had them written down to use tonight.

How long before this becomes Butler's title?

 

Not happening. Nate Miles has "backed off". I posted the article on the previous page.

not to mention that it doesn't work that way, the title is vacated.

From 1995-2010, a different school was the runner up each year and if Butler had won tonight, it would have been 17 different runners up in 17 years. By comparison 11 schools won national titles in the same span.

How much Calhoun or boosters pay him off to keep quiet, I wonder?

 

Calhoun now will probably just ride off into the sunset while UCONN gets poured on with sanctions/banned postseason play.

Time to start the 2011-2012 thread? We can do rank the Big Ten for next year...

 

12. Penn State

 

Minny will challenge you. But yeah, you're losing a lot. I'm thinking Purdue in the 3-5 range. Obviously worse if Hummel goes down again.

PSU was 5 deep and will be losing 4 starters. They'll be lucky to win 10 games next year

Did anyone else catch Mike & Mike this morning where the mom of one of the producers had picked this matchup in her bracket with a final score of something crazy like 54-39? They were talking about how unrealistic that score was, but apparently she was onto something!

I think she said 53-39. She was almost exactly right. Simply amazing. And I believe this was her prediction before the tournament started. She definitely had UConn-Butler in the final, not sure if the score was also predicted at that time.

Man, I have no idea how to do that. Next year's Big Ten may be a clustermakinglove.

 

Ohio St. probably still the favorite (losing a lot of leadership - reloading with freshmen 4/5 star talent)

 

Wildcards that could win it - Illinois (I think even the water boy is a 4 star), Michigan (lots of young talent, came on strong, made the tourney), Michigan St (Izzo and lots of talent).

 

Teams that will be competitive but it will take a lot of pieces coming together - Purdue (losing two of programs best players ever - adding length) , Wisconsin (I think losing Leuer hurts a lot, Taylor could be BTPOY... lots of big white dudes and won't lose at home) .

 

No real shot but will be improved, Indiana (help is on the way), Iowa (really like Basabe), Northwestern (lots of foreign dudes)

 

Terrible - Minny (Mbakwe will wear a house arrest ankle bracelet), Penn St.

 

Nebraska... yeah, I know nothing about them.

Which I guess means Wisconsin runs away with it?

I think the best one can do, at this point, is grouping as you did. However, a few things:

 

Ohio State--I'll still believe Sullinger is back when I see it. I also expect Buford to bolt. Further, Ohio State's recruiting class has four 4-star players ranked between No. 46 and No. 76 (as per rivals). That's an excellent way to build and sustain a program, I'm less sure that's the way to replace 4-star seniors.

 

Michigan--As of right now, Darius Morris is in the NBA Draft. I suspect he'll be back, but we'll see.

 

If I'm right about the above, I have a real hard time picking a favorite, other than saying, in alphabetical order, Illinois-Michigan-Michigan State-Ohio State(?)-Wisconsin as the likely top group (and that's giving Bo Ryan a ton of credit, because they lost their frontcourt and have only one 4-star player on the entire roster, plus Taylor).

Ha ha, sounds about right. It wouldn't stun me. . . but I think they have far more questions than normal. Everyone talks about how they always lack talent, but their roster is usually full of 4-star kids. Next year they'll have one (Berggren). That, obviously, doesn't include Taylor, who's a first-team all-Big Ten player. Bo Ryan is excellent, but that's not as much to work with as is typical, but the Big Ten does figure to be down.

still convinced that Greg Gumbel is wearing a full wig

 

I have it on good authority that he is

 

That's poor wig selection if so. I'm amazed that guy is about to be 65 years old.

I heard it before the tournament started. Never listen to them but Gottlieb and Bilas were filling in around the tournament. She picked UCONN over Butler 53-39 the morning after selection Sunday.

I agree with that for the most part. I saw Jim Jackson say his top 5 for next year are OSU, Michigan, MSU, Purdue, Wisconsin with Illinois and Iowa next right outside that top 5 group.

you guys are right theres no way stevens would ever leave that outrageous collection of talent

 

Lol if a nice big conf program cant make a compelling case for stevens to leave they should just disband. What a joke butler was. College ball is an abortion
