Let's see if Weber benching McCamey for the last 8 mins or so of the first half will have the desired effect of waking him up.
-
*mind is blown*
-
Only took Illinois 13 minutes to run their offense. Nice to see the team could make it tonight.
-
Teams combining to shoot about 20% from the field so far.

Good pick Buddiga. All the same... *sigh of relief*
-
That would be really unfair, though. IMO, it's gotta be yes or no. yeah, you can't allow one and then say no to the rest. I wasn't really clear. I mean I'd say just allow them for this draft since precedent was set, but I'd be in favor of disallowing draft day trades in the future, or only allowing them among non-keepers.
-
That said, even if the next 3 picks get in, I'm leaving the office.....now.
-
I have a feeling Adam's working on a trade and waiting on a ruling to see if that's OK or not.
-
I'd agree that allowing trades for keepers not involved in the draft kind of invalidates the roster paring that was done Saturday. However, I don't see the point in rolling back trades that have already been made, either. I'd vote to either not allow further trades, or not allow trades involving someone that was a keeper from this point forward.
-
I don't see TA around, so Tampa takes Ryan Doumit. EDIT: No, I didn't make that up, he sent it to me.
-
I have Tampa's pick, but if he's around he can make it himself all the same.
-
I've been writing them down, but it's impossible to chart who needs what at this point. I have one need that I'm hoping and praying I can still somehow fill decently at 32, and another need that I've all but given up on filling decently, hoping I can find a diamond in the rough later.
-
Good read. It seems they like to go overboard with the conference tournament upsets in these though. When Cornell is getting an 11 seed this year you've probably gone too far. Yeah, they picked UC Riverside to make it out of the Big West and they're between the fourth and sixth best team in the conference. A couple of the rules the committee had from that process that I didn't know about before: - The top 3 teams in each conference can't play each other until the Final Four. - The play-in game cannot be between two traditionally black colleges (this one seems weird to me) I really like the break-neck pace of all the "vote eight"s. Wonder if I can duplicate that online this year.
-
Chuck gets his moment in the sun. Let's see if he drags this one out to make it last.
-
You could pm your picks to me, and I could find stats on them that would suggest they're bad picks and forward the information back to you. :)
-
No offense to PSU fans, but this game tonight is the most winnable game Illinois has left, and I'd be extremely disappointed if they didn't win tonight. PSU has, incidentally, won the last 2 games between the teams in Champaign.
-
I don't think my team will finish in a worse position than last year.
-
I really don't like seeing pods where Mizzou is the highest seed and their second round matchup would be in Boise against a west coast team. Stupid OU and Memphis are going to make it impossible for them to play in KC. I think that unless a couple Pac-10 teams really make a run late, or they really overseed Gonzaga, there's undoubtedly going to be some midwestern/eastern team that will be the highest seed out in Boise/Portland. And, of course, it makes the most sense to screw over the 4 seeds, because the higher seeds deserve "better" protection. Still think UCLA and Washington will squeeze into 4 seed slots by the end of the year. Also figuring Illinois will be one of the teams "fortunate" enough to get shoved into one of those pods.
-
At the rate this draft is going, you will all hate me by the end of the weekend.
-
Wouldn't expect Raisin to pick for at least 90 minutes.
-
Like last year, for instance. Illinois probably has the toughest finishing stretch of any Big Ten team for the last 5 games: PSU twice, at OSU, and home vs. Minn and MSU. However, they actually now control their own destiny to the Big Ten title and 1 seed if they win out. First step is tonight, so I really hope they come ready to play. PSU also won in Champaign against one of the Williams/Head/Brown teams That was in 2006. No Williams/Head/Powell, but Brown and Augustine were still there and that was at least as good a team as this one is this year.

In the "things that likely only interest me" category...the media had their third annual mock selection committee last week, and developed this bracket. The whole process was live-blogged last year. Describes the entire selection process, from start to finish. I found it really interesting.
