    Yeah, I was going through the remaining bids, and there are a lot more bids available than it seems. If all the teams people said were out were actually out, there'd only be about 50 teams in the tournament. That was extremely tough to figure out which teams were deserving enough to make it in. Like we've been saying, there really aren't a lot of deserving teams out there.

    I think Illinois matches up much better against Michigan State than Wisconsin. Gotta beat Minnesota first, though.

    Eh, I'm not really sure. I really wasn't impressed with ISU the few times I saw them this year. Osiris Eldridge is a stud, but if you can manage to shut him down, they're really not all that great.

    That Illinois game was awesome. Went to BWW to watch it in DeKalb and the place was going nuts. And a big lol at Indiana. You couldn't have possibly scripted that ending.
  5. Flames24Rulz
    i lol'd.

    Kevin Dillard was first team in 4A as well. I'm really excited to see him down here next year. It'll be nice to have another PG on the team to go along with Mullins.

    and is O$U out? I think OSU should be out. Not sure what to think of VT, but they're getting there. I still think they're on the wrong side of the bubble, but that certainly could change.

    ASU has an RPI of 80 and a SOS of 71. 5-7 against the top 50 is decent...that Xavier win is pretty nice. That being said, I'd take either Temple or Charlotte ahead of them. If I'm deciding, ASU is probably out of at-large consideration. Now Oregon has a much better case than ASU. 54th in the RPI and the 22nd toughest schedule in the nation. They've been extremely inconsistant all year though and they're just 6-9 in their last 15 games. Not so good. Either way, there's going to be some undeserving teams that are going to get in this field this year.

    Yeah he did. The guy's talented, when he's healthy. The problem is he hasn't really been healthy for a while.

    I'm really interested in tonight's A-10 games. If St. Joe's can beat Xavier, I believe they should be in without much of a problem. Now the real interesting game is Temple-Charlotte. Whoever wins that game should still have a shot at an at-large berth. Let's take a look at their resumes: Charlotte: RPI of 66, SOS of 74, 4-3 against the top 50, but they do have 6 losses from teams with an RPI of less than 101. They have won 6 of their last 7. Temple: RPI of 60, SOS of 51, 3-5 against the top 50, only 7-4 against teams with RPI's from 101 to 200. No extremely bad losses though as they're perfect against teams with an RPI of 200+. They did lose against Villanova though. Now obviously, it would benefit either of these teams to just go ahead and win the tournament. But making the conference title game in the 7th best conference in the land is a pretty good feat (as long as they don't embarrass themselves in it). Now this does sort of sound like the case that ISU has since they made the title game in the 8th best conference. But ISU's non-conference SOS isn't that great and their best wins are against Creighton. I think you could make the case for either Charlotte or Temple to make it over the Redbirds.

    4 points in 5 minutes, but Illinois still wins. Tomorrow is going to be ugly, but at least they did win today.
  12. Flames24Rulz
    No excuse to lose to Colorado, especially at a neutral court. Illinois is really doing their best to blow this.
  13. Flames24Rulz
    psu-illinois score might be lower than that... bring on the big ten brickfest. Not sure why that Iowa-Michigan score was surprising. Both teams are pretty bad. Like you said, this game won't be much better. In fact, it has a good chance to be even worse.
  14. Flames24Rulz
    I hope not, that's my favorite part of the show. Mine too. His vent last year was amazing.
  15. Flames24Rulz
    That is absolutely hilarious. To hell with the damn scouts and everyone that works in the minor league system. I have to see it with my own eyes to believe he's a great player.
  16. Flames24Rulz
    gordon may be a poor ball handler, but mayo is just as bad. like i said, they'r ealmost the exact same player. i'll listen to exile, he makes good points. oh, and he actually isn't the worst poster on this whole board. I do think Mayo will be the taller of the two when they are officially measured, but how much does an inch really matter? They're both going to be undersized 2 guards that can't handle the rock.
  17. Flames24Rulz
    It's just Spring Training, so I'm not going to freak out about this too much.
  18. Flames24Rulz
    Minnesota's, yes. Illinois, not so much.
  19. Flames24Rulz
    the bulls are so maddening. they need a coach. More than likely, they'll follow up this stellar performance with a clunker. It's pretty sad when it's March 11th and you haven't won three games in a row once this season. It's even sadder that the Bulls can be tied for 8th if Houston beats the Hawks tomorrow night.
  20. Flames24Rulz
    Peace, ISU. Today's games hurt them more than any other bubble team IMO.
  21. Flames24Rulz
    I'd like to make it out there. I'll be home for a couple of weeks after school gets out on May 9. Going to a Cubs game the next day sure would be nice.
  22. Flames24Rulz
    Miles Austin isn't that bad.
  23. Flames24Rulz
    I do that with every Illinois team...except Illinois State. So as far as rooting interest goes, this tournament is going to suck for me.
  24. Flames24Rulz
    Not one bad call, not two bad calls, but three bad calls in the final 15 seconds? How is that even possible?
  25. Flames24Rulz
    I don't know what to think. I love him for what he did for KU, but he just doesn't look that good up in the NBA. Because he's not. I really like what I see from a Gordon-Hughes backcourt. Yeah, I'm really digging the 33% shooting from Gordon since Hughes showed up. I just have a lot more confidence in Gordon. Even when Gordon isn't playing good, he can still get to the line (somewhat) and still give you around 10 PPG on a bad night. Hinrich really can't do that. I've said it over and over again, the guy really hasn't improved since his rookie year. We'll see what the organization does in the offseason, but I really don't think they're that high on Hinrich anymore.
