2012 NCAA Tournament thread

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

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

 

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.

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

 

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.

88-89 the Big Ten was as good as it's ever been and Knight won it with Jay Edwards and a bunch of rec league guys. That was Knights best job ever IMO. Edited March 23, 2012 by illiniguy

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

 

You're a step ahead of me

Tom Crean is an embarrassment to humanity.

 

So when does Purdue play this weekend?

 

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

 

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

 

It's the fact that IU fans aren't embarrassed by him that's telling.

They embraced and flaunted Kelvin Sampson.

bo is sobbing in his cave, pantsless, hair like a wild ape's, sportjacket lapel still-adorned with pin. a trickle of moonlight filtering in and across his brow. his is the wail of the uncivilized and barbaric mute, and it sounds over the primordial steppes as music, lonely and shrill. he rubs his crotch violently with the debris he has scavenged from untended campsites, still singing that same sad song of despair. he drifts into an uncomfortable sleep.

Oh, and you IU fans better enjoy your paychecks this week. A Purdue grad was just named CEO of McDonald's. Let's hope he doesn't fire you all!

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.

What's coach K's record look like?

 

5-3

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

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.

 

Well there's a pretty big difference between Coach K, who has been a 1 or 2 seed in like 8 of the last 10 tournaments, and Bo Ryan, who has been a 1, 2, or 3 seed 2-3 times total. Ryan's number is not from lack of opportunity.

Really? That's awesome actually. Especially since he's almost always a one or two.

I think the fact that Purdue just got swept by IU and might not beat them again anytime soon, that is a lot more telling.

Right but he's never bad enough really to have a chance for this in round one. I don't know, I just don't remember too many times thinking Bo lost out before he reached a team that was a lot better than him. Maybe it's just be though.

There is some truth there. However I'd rate clapping and a bad fake tan as not quit as serious an issue as serial cheating. But maybe that is just me.

We've got like 30 to burn before you catch us in the all-time series...

You say that now, but you were all about his cheating ass then. Or your fan base was anyways.

There are good fake tans?

[illiniguy]

No Lesley that's not what I'm wondering, I'm wondering how you aren't melting under that light.

So in other words, you accept your role in the grand scheme of things. =D>

Didn't you just finish in 5th place in the big ten? You aren't exactly a scary powerhouse anymore.
