He's doing that without a PG, and he's miles better defensively than Boozer.
-
I did try to make a list of all IFAs in the Prospect Draft thread, but I missed Martin.
-
I will have the same issue with both Neftali Feliz and Aaron Crow...probably.
-
Bucks traded Andrew Bogut for Monta Ellis. Bwuh?
-
Based on the NIT results, the Big Ten is good. And the SEC is not.
-
Magglio Ordonez

Did it get mentioned that the Bears re-signed Tim Jennings about an hour ago? I'm not sure if everybody knew that was a thing.
-
stop panicing. There's a chance he never does get on that plane to Buffalo. And just because a team doesnt want the player to leave without a contract doesn't mean the player can't leave if he wants to. When UMFan tells you to stop panicking, you've reached a new level of overreaction.

HUB ARKUSH SHAKES FIST AT UPPITY SKY. FILM AT 11.
-
He may not be a top 10 WR, but he's easily the Bears' best WR in at least 15 years.
-
Maybe he thought there was no chance. I just really hope I don't have to hear the bitching about Weber another 4 years after he's gone. Illinois fans let Self go quietly and quickly, so I don't see them dwelling long on Bruce...
-
To me, the whole point of having a draft is to avoid a "quickest draw wins" free-for-all situation. If people only want 1-2 guys they can just pass/dropout.
-
Yeah, I'm looking to pick up at least 4, maybe 5 depending on how many are available.

Random...

Meh, UConn is scary in name only this year. They've beaten one good team in three months. I'd say they were the weakest 9 seed, but Southern Miss blows that argument up, and Alabama has the same problem UConn has (haven't beat a good team in forever). Really, all the 9 seeds are beatable this year.
-
Again, this argument all hinges on assuming Mizzou would lose at least 3 more games if they played similar schedules to Ohio St/Michigan St. Which is a large assumption when you look at how Mizzou has fared against Top 10 schools (4-1). No, the argument is that the rest of the top two seeds are clearly better teams based on efficiency ratings. Stop using coaches polls in your argument, you're way out of your league in the argument here.

http://kenpom.com/ http://www.usatoday.com/sports/sagarin/bkt1112.htm Missouri definitely did not get screwed. And even though they were eighth on the S-Curve, they ended up with the lowest ranked No. 1 seed in Michigan State anyway. So, schedule the teams that you'll beat by 15-20 instead of the teams you'll beat by 30. OK. Just stop. You clearly have no idea how the efficiency ratings work.
-
The best news is they finally scored on LA. You're a glass-half-empty guy, I'm just thrilled the glass finally has something in it.
-
Missouri was easily a top 8 team. Unfortunately, so were the other 7. Mizzou has a decent argument for a better resume than Duke. Outside that, though? Not so much.
-
Damn. Illinois State had me excited for a second. Nine Big Ten teams in the postseason, and none of them are Illinois.
-
Screw it. ALL ONES AND TWOS IN THE ELITE 8.
-
I've said it before, but to me the tournament is really top heavy this year, and I'm actually having a tough time not putting the top 2 seeds in each region to the elite 8.
-
I think I like Belmont over Georgetown.

And Iona was 50. Both of them were ranked ahead of all the 13 seeds as well as Long Beach (a 12). Any ideas why they were unable to make this game for a 12 or a 13 seed instead of the 14? Surely there had to be 5-12 and 4-13 games that have a Thu-Sat schedule. No clue, the 12 and 13 in their region are Thursday-Saturday. Makes no sense to me. My theory: the committee totally forgot about the BYU rule and quickly had to scramble to fix it in a hurry. They've forgotten about BYU before. Theory 2: Putting BYU in Albuquerque or Portland is giving any potential 4/5 seed a first round home court disadvantage. So they had to go to Louisville or Pittsburgh, and that was the only spot that worked out (since UK is in Louisville, Syracuse and OSU are in Pittsburgh).
