Anyone know if the Hawks release spare tickets the day of game like the Cubs sometimes do? I'm really itching to goto the game tonight but don't want to pay the $90 a ticket they are asking on stubhub. Something like $50 would be amazing, but doubt I'll find that unless I get lucky.

I didn't know it was possible for a team to only score 77 against the Warriors. Of course it's possible. BTW, when does the second half of that one start?
-
It will be interesting to see if 5 games in 5 days will have a lingering affect on UCONN. I could definitely see Connecticut getting knocked off by Mizzou given the system Mizzou runs if the Huskies are in fact fatigued. I know they didn't play 5 games, but didn't Syracuse end up losing in the first round after their improbable Big East title win a few years ago when they had to pretty much win the tourney to make it and that's what they did.

Sabermetrics: Prepare to be destroyed
UMFan83 replied to Formerly Snayke's topic in General Baseball Talk
These stats haters are jerks. I bet they sent that bird on a collision course with that ball in order to prove a point. I'm sure the Randy Johnson bird as well. PETA should protest this book. -
Yeah I listed games played for that very purpose. Same idea as games remaining.
-
I cant help but pick St. Johns there
-
Stats about a bunch of mediocre teams that were much worse than this one mean just about nothing. I'm pretty much joking, but the fact that we lost to them in NJ earlier this year makes me feel like theres some magical mental block that prevents the Bulls from winning. We lost to them in NJ last year when they were a 12 win team, and lost to them in NJ this year when we are a 55-60 win team. The post was more about bringing up the Bulls historically futile record in NJ over the last several years than a prediction for that game based on what teams 3-4 years ago did. I just want to see us win win win.
-
I'd say this is an easy week coming up for the Bulls with Washington at home and @ NJ, but we are like 2-17 against the Nets in our last 19 games in NJ, and have already lost there once this year.
-
They ended up with 56 points. I was hoping they could break the Bulls record of 49 :( Back to 2nd for the Bulls
-
All that talk about Michigan possibly not beating any tourney teams earlier in the week is bunk now. I believe they have 7 wins over tourney teams now (MSUx2, PSUx2, Illinois, Clemson, Oakland) and that's with Harvard not getting in. Of course the highest seeded team they've beaten is 9 seeded Illinois but whatever, we should have a win over Wisconsin too.

Went to a VCU message board to see what they are saying about their surprise selection and they are bitching at ESPN for ragging on their selection. http://www.vcuramnation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5501

NITology had VCU as a 5 seed in their last NIT projections, almost on the bubble!
-
of the 4 Big Ten bubble teams I think Michigan got the hardest draw despite being the highest seed. Michigan State has to love their draw with good but beatable UCLA (sorry Raisin) then overrated Florida. Penn State got a good draw with Temple and then SDSU. Illinois and Michigan both have tougher draws, but I like Illinois over UNLV more than Michigan over Tennessee, who I thought going into this was better than how they've played at times. That said, I'd probably rather play Duke in the 2nd round than Kansas, but neither is desirable.
-
I still can't believe Michigan got an 8 seed. I think the team 2 years ago was better than this one and that one got a 10 seed.
-
Simple lesson. Don't take Lunardi's word as the final word. I never would. I prefer Bracket Matrix as it consists of all bracket. But as the most well known Bracketologist out there (and one of the better), it's interesting to see how his final bracket turned out.
-
The lower part of Lunardi's S-Curve: 41. Illinois 42. Michigan 43. Michigan State 44. Colorado (OUT) 45. Penn State (last non-playin team) 46. St. Mary's (OUT) 47. Clemson 48. Virginia Tech (OUT) 49. USC (last team in) ----------- 50. Alabama 51. Georgia (IN) 52. Boston College 53. UAB (IN) 54. Harvard 55. Missouri 56. VCU (IN) Have no [expletive] clue how UAB and VCU got in.
-
I'm glad they didnt take Alabama over Georgia even though they beat UGA twice. Alabama's resume was pretty weak overall and UGA beat some good teams.
-
Wow poor Colorado. I was wondering why people were calling them locks, their resume is pretty week. RPI in the 60s i believe
-
MSPoo vs. Raisin
-
Has any team been seeded lower than their AP ranking? lol Utah State almost pulled that off
-
There's still Kansas State also as a team that hasn't been named. They are safe, they are probably a 6-7 seed in this bracket
-
If Illinois is in, MSU should be, right? You'd think so, but who the hell knows, this is a bizarre bracket. I think they are still in though. I think Colorado is out
-
I think St. Marys is out and Colorado or MSU is out based on the fact that VCU, UAB and Georgia are in.
-
VCU was Lunardi's 7th team out. What an insane bracket
-
Im guessing on some Detroit sports blog, MSU fans are talking just like you illinois fans were 2 mins ago
