They only had 2 losses in the last poll. They won't be there come Monday.

 

Oh yeah forgot the second loss was this week. And now the third.

holy [expletive], texas a&m is the worst team ever. five of their boy cheerleader guys could beat this team.

 

was hoping k-state would deliver a death blow to texas today, but k-state may have played themselves out of the top 5 in the conf today anyway. they are just starting a pretty brutal stretch.

also, can i bet $ that baylor will lost to a double digit seed in the tourney yet? they got destroyed and missouri had marcus denmon guarding some 6'11 guy for stretches today. the absolute consensus that scott drew is terrible is hilarious.

Nice to see the admiral looks exactly the same 10 years since I've see him last.

 

Do the announcers always cream themselves whenever Aaron craft does anything on the court?

Tomorrow totally seems like a situation where everyone counts out the Illini and they respond by randomly beating a ranked team on the road (Michigan).

This is exactly the right attitude from the Illinois AD:

 

"It's our goal to be relevant through Big Ten play. It's not a question of being in the tournament. That should be a given. It should be what seed."

Hopefully this is a signal that just barely making the tournament is not going to mean Weber's job is safe.

I doubt it, probably will be a replay of the other night - Illini hang in there, Michigan starts getting a bunch calls, their coach, who actually has an active brain cell, realizes this and has everything going to the hoop - game over. I'm still pissed about the other night, when the officiating was called in such a manner, you've got to be just as aggressive and force them to make calls. It's a way of exposing one way officiating I think.

I know they jump shoot well at IU, so you don't want to go to a 2-3 zone. I prolly would have tried a 1-3-1 to prevent them from driving, if only Bruce didn't have that fear of telling Gene why he played a zone.

Ha! If by "going to the hoop" you mean continue to shoot long 3 pointers every possession, you are correct.

yeah, we have two guys capable of driving to the hoop, and one of them decided to stop doing that this year

 

and jesus, you need to stop bitching about the threes already, since that's basically our most effective offense
