Thanks Ned. -
ENOUGH ALREADY. The bottom of the Big East is awful. They are going to have a lower percentage of teams make the tourney than the Big Ten, and possibly the ACC or Pac 10. They're still a good conference, but this talk about how deep they are, when half their teams might not make the tournament, with 1/4 of them not even belonging in major conference ball is annoying as hell. I always defer to Jay Bilas (as anyone in college hoops should do because he's awesome), who says that there's an argument to be made for which conference is the best overall, just not 1-12. Well of course not, but that's a silly way to look at it. Why does the Big East get to lop off their 4 worst teams in a comparison? If they take out four teams it should be the top two and the bottom two. That's the most fair way. But really no one should get to eliminate any teams. Your conference is your conference. I don't know if that's really fair either. The best way to compare conference to conference is to look at the entire thing. Yeah, you can't match team to team, but it's not that hard to look at the strength of a conference top to bottom without arbitrarily removing teams.

Brey should be in legit trouble after that Cincy loss. ND will probably make the NIT no matter what(assuming a winning record) cause they're ND and they'll draw, but Brey should probably be canned if they only finish a couple games over. Have you heard any rumblings at all about him being on the hot seat?

ESPN Bubble Watch is back. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/bubblewatch?id=84 Only place they differ from mine are they have Washington as a lock instead of Davidson.

1. Miss nearly every jump shot you take, whether you're covered or wide open. 2. Leave UW's most one dimensional guy alone outside the 3 point line to do the one thing he's good at all night. 3. Rebound like you have concrete in your shoes and the other team is just going to let you have the ball. and finally, 4. Take nothing but 15-20 foot jumpers when you're not hitting them. Don't spread the floor and get it inside, just continue jacking up shots you obviously (at least last night) have no shot at making. And whoever asked about Legion, it's pretty clear he's gone Rich Hill on us and completely forgotten how to put the ball on the inside of the orange metal round thing that's hanging there. I'm reasonably sure it's entirely a confidence issue. The one shot he did make last night was a rhythm jumper where he just came around a pick on the dribble and shot it without having time to think about it. Everything else he had time to look at and missed or it was generally just an awful shot he shouldn't have been taking in the first place. I wonder if we're not going to see what Legion' capable of until next season. I think BTT at the earliest. He could have a random good game mixed in(We wouldn't have beat Purdue without him), but as far as consistency, I think it'll be a bit.

They get 1/6th pay. You're right, my bad. In Sheets' case that would've been about $2.5MM, assuming he would've gotten around $15 million. Which I agree wouldn't have been an awful gamble(without knowing a whole lot about your payroll situation.)
-
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for backloading contracts. It's always better to backload than to pay it out evenly, but it has to be staggered correctly. They all seemed to hit (and big) this coming season.
-
Only idiots think Gonzaga is making the final 4. They're not really any good.
-
Lazy to the bitter end. Wisconsin's up 16, you don't need to hook them up on the whistle.
-
Garbage time, time for Trent to hit a 3.
-
The word filter saves my banning.
-
Run. Just run all day Friday. Hasn't been a player that's played like they give a [expletive] since the first half of the last Wisconsin game.
-
Christ, who'd he bring in for Davis, Semrau? Wanted to see if it's possible to score without a guy that can shoot on the court.
-
TAKES WHAT HIT??
-
Seriously, one guy on the court can score consistently. 1.
-
Good call bringing Jordan in, I was getting worried we had too many guys on the court who could shoot the ball.
-
Kohled.
-
I can't even watch this [expletive] anymore.
-
Yeah, bring Trent back rather than miss 1 shot and travel, Trent will miss 5 shots.
-
Other than rebounding, Chester Frazier has done just about nothing in Big Ten play.
-
Jason Bohanon is an ugly MFer
-
How in the [expletive] is the guy who's 5-5 from 3 left wide open on the in bounds play?
-
Great [expletive] start you assholes.
