2012 NCAA Tournament thread

You had a [expletive] timeout left, Bo. What the hell were you thinking?

 

Wisconsin is like the new Purdue. Cool regular season team, one hell of a dog in March.

 

They lost to a team that lost 2 times all year by 1 point. Not the end of the world.

 

That isn't really the point. For all the success Bo has had, Wisconsin has only advanced past the round of 16 once under his watch.

 

Are they suppose to be in the Final 4 every year?

Dick Bennett coached Wisconsin to more Final Fours than Bo Ryan in like half the time. Just sayin...

This team was one of his least talented and he did one of his best coaching jobs this year. Go cheer for your clapping troll of a coach.

I thought every team he coached is his least talented team since he always has the same group of faceless ghouls playing for him. :-k

[BleacherBadger]

Bo's best coaching job. Easily.

[Guest]

In the NCAA tournament, Bo Ryan has one win against a better seeded team, against Florida State in a 5-12 game. That's pretty incredible.

I would have thought his 2008 team that won the Big Ten regular season and postseason titles was his best job imo.

I've always argued he has had talent. This year he had Jordan Taylor. He did a superb job.

What's coach K's record look like?

[Smack]

Tom Crean is an embarrassment to humanity.

I've just always assumed he commits a series of blood sacrifices on the tombs of Mayan chiefs to get the other guys to play well.

I completely missed that Shaka Smart is in the Atlanta studios for CBS today. Did he say anything about Illinois?

So when does Purdue play this weekend?

Kind of like when Bobby Knight did the same crap every year?

I'm going to guess he has more than one.

I bet it's not a lot more. The guys almost always a one or two.

Since they're usually a very high seed, that's not likely to be an apt comparison

He's a great evaluator and developer of talent. Taylor was a 2 star and barely recruited, Ryan Evans was a wreck his first two years out of HS, and Berg is plain awkward. But look how those 3 have played this year.

 

For all those recruiting jokeys, they only see that Bo's only had 1 all-american at Wisconsin (Butch). So in that sense, having made 4 sweet 16s and an elite appearance in 11 years with only 1 all-american is quite the job.

Not before Tom embarrasses IU some more. Tell him to stop tanning, buy some clothes that fit, stop clapping, and stop snorting coke.

[Careless]

This camera is like having a drunk, flying cameraman.

What's Wisconsins record against IU over, say.... The last decade?

Those faceless ghouls have beaten the Hoosucks 11 times a row, right?

Contrary to popular belief, Knight's good teams actually had solid talent. Once he decided fishing & hunting was more important and left recruiting to Dan Dakich, that was his downfall.

I know, but I read a thread a few years back on Illinois Scout about how most big name coaches usually don't have many wins over seed. It's usually smaller schools that can rack those up.

I'm so embarrassed by our 27-8 season, I can hardly put on my IU gear in public. True story.
