2 OTs, Woodson in the 3rd, a WR in the late 3rd....yeah, that would be OK.
-
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. I was expecting bad, but that second half was....really, really bad. Like I said above, Michigan went scoreless for 10 minutes, but Iowa went and trumped them by going 16 minutes in the second half without a basket (8 free throws). Iowa made 5 jumpshots for the entire game, none in the second half.
-
Michigan went scoreless for over 10 minutes in the second half, during which Iowa scored...5 points.

More at-large team scores: Florida State 70, Wake Forest 60 Georgetown 82, Villanova 63 Xavier 74, Dayton 65 Game going down to the wire between OK State and Texas Tech, 74-72 with 20 seconds left....EDIT: OK State wins 76-72.
-
Michigan beat Iowa 55-47. Ugly offenses in the second half.

you can't really be this dense. making completely unprompted inferences of another posters racism wouldn't constitute an attempt to derail the thread? has it been your experience that people usually have no issues with these kinds of allegations? Pretty sure he was likening the spiking to Ty Cobb, who was notorious for spiking other players. And stabbing a black man over an argument. EDIT: Of course, I assume OMC doesn't like Cobb because of those actions, rather in spite of those actions, he is able to separate the baseball ability from the non-baseball behavior, and admires the baseball ability.

That sounds like a pretty fun system. Is there a similar system for teams in the Americas? yes, but its divided between south america and central/north america. its not nearly as good as uefa though. North America just this year decided to form their own Champions League, I believe. South America has been doing their own version of a Champs League (I think it's called Copa Supamericana or something like that...), and the winner of the European (UEFA) Champs league plays the winner of the South American Champs League in a winner-take-all cup, also.

Works more often than not.

Reminder, today's the day for those that want to be in the committee to submit their list of 34 at-large teams. Do not list your team, and do not list any teams that already won an automatic bid (since they can't get an at-large anyway...). PM your list to me by midnight CST (so I can have time to process it and actually get sleep before Friday).

Yes in the Champions League which takes place every year. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Champions_League This pretty much explains the CL if you're curious. http://www.sportsargumentwiki.com/index.php?title=UEFA_Champions_League Put simply in baseball terms, the Champions League would be like if the world baseball league was a collection of the champion teams from MLB, Japan, the DR, Cuba, Puerto Rico, China, Italy, and any other pro league. All the champions would be pooled together in a league of their own and play each other for a very prestigious world championship league (except Champions League is just Europe, but semantics...). So, the Red Sox would play the Nippon Ham Fighters, and such. Countries with more prestigious leagues will get more teams eligible for the Champions League. England, for example, generally get 4 teams in (I think one year they got 5 because the defending champions didn't make the top 4 of the English Premier League the following year). Spain gets 2 or 3, Italy gets 2 or 3, Germany gets 2 or 3, France gets 2 or 3, and then the smaller countries get just their league champions.

Mount St. Mary's (NEC) and Portland State (Big Sky) earned auto bids tonight with wins. As for at-large teams' games, Pittsburgh held off Cincy 70-64, Marquette beat Seton Hall 67-54, Rhode Island lost yet again, this time to Charlotte 65-63 (they are done). Arizona looks awake so far against Oregon State, leading 45-15. EDIT: Now 59-21 at the half. Oregon State is baaaaad.
-
West Virginia holds off Providence 68-63, St. Joe's rolls Fordham 80-62. (I'll keep reporting bubble scores in this thread, simply to keep people updated on what's happening)
-
Illinois is so bad, they lose twice in the same tournament. :cry:
-
Nary an Illini to be found. *sigh* it's only been a few short years since glory, now look :cray: Shawn Pruitt made the media 3rd team. And Brian Randle was the sportsman of the year...

Big Ten awards: Player of the Year: DJ White, Indiana Coach of the Year: Matt Painter, Purdue Freshman of the Year: Eric Gordon, Indiana Defensive Player of the Year: Chris Kramer, Purdue Sixth Man of the Year: Jason Bohannon, Wisconsin Rest of the All-Big Ten First Team: Eric Gordon - Indiana, Brian Butch - Wisconsin, Robbie Hummel - Purdue, Jamar Butler - Ohio State (AP only), Drew Neitzel - Michigan State (Coaches Only)
-
Harangody was a good choice, but I would've thought Pitino would get the nod for Coach of the Year. Maybe if they had beat Georgetown last week.
-
Syracuse blown out by Villanova 82-63, Dayton squeaks by Saint Louis 63-62 in OT. The bright side is maybe the selection show won't have Boeheim on standby this year to complain about not getting a bid.
-
Minnesota over Northwestern Illinois over Penn State (unless it's a close game) Michigan over Iowa Michigan over Wisconsin Ohio State over Michigan State Illinois over Purdue Minnesota over Indiana Ohio State over Michigan Illinois over Minnesota Ohio State over Illinois Just seems like that kind of year. And all the basketball experts will bash the Big Ten at every opportunity for "stealing" an at-large bid.

Previews of the last 4 conference tournaments: SEC, Big Ten, Big 12 and ACC For the Big Ten, not sure if I'd go so far as to say 4 teams are there for decoration, especially since one of those decorations swept the team they're playing in the first round. OTOH, would not be surprised in the least to see Minnesota or Illinois in the finals come Sunday.
-
Oral Roberts, Butler and Western Kentucky earned three more automatic bids tonight. Butler and Western Kentucky removed from at-large consideration.

12% chance there are 2 sets of English matchups, 12% chance that they are all matched up against the other 4 squads, 75% chance that there's one matchup of Brits, and two other matchups involving Brits. Is it really that large? I would have thought it would be smaller than that. Yeah, there's about a 1/8 chance of both 2 sets of 2 or 4 separate matchups. Mostly because it doesn't matter what order the matchups occur, just that the 4 english squads are paired up with the 4 other squads.

CUBS ANNOUNCE SECOND ROUND OF ROSTER CUTS
bukie replied to Tim's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Shame about Fox. Would be nice to have his bat available on the bench. -
Yeah, he can go. If for nothing else but for the loss of incentive to ever play him over Mark Bradley again. If he does go though, the Bears special teams will look a lot different. Have lost a lot with Ricky Manning and Archuleta still possibly to go. I don't see Archuleta gone. His salary is super cheap and considering the depth we need at safety, I'm almost sure he stays. An empty jersey laid down on the field would be cheaper still, and would be better than Archuleta. He'd be more expensive to cut than to keep, though, salary cap-wise. I guess it comes down to whether the roster spot or the cap room is more important.

Previews today on the multi-bid conference tournaments starting Wednesday: Conference USA, Mountain West, Atlantic 10, Big East, Pac 10.
