It's kinda cool to think that if you watch all 4 games of the Big Ten tourney today, you are likely watching 8 NCAA tournament teams play each other, or 1/8th of the final NCAA field.
-
I'm expecting Syracuse to sleep for at least half that. The break or the game?
-
They're all so tired they're settling. They could have won it 3 overtimes ago if they had actually drawn up a play instead of the "Run down the clock and then shoot a crazy three with 2 people in your face" play. I think Vinny Del Negro phoned in that play to Calhoun.
-
I wish this was the second to last game of the night so that the last games teams would be sitting there waiting and waiting and waiting.
-
I think me and 4 of my buddies could probably beat one of these teams in their current state.
-
Would love to see UConn come back from this one, but I'd guess they are just going to give up now.
-
6!!!
-
yeah whoever wins today is definitely losing tomorrow
-
No one is even attempting jump shots anymore
-
these guys are tired. Only 14 total points in the last 7 mins combined
-
MSU WIS MICH (I know, homer but i really think they will win. No Chester, ILL slumping, UM playing inspired basketball) PUR
-
Looks like Dayton has a clear path to the championships by playing Richmond and then Duquesne.

Well let me ask you...what is the Big 10 pecking order at this point? I am thinking.... MSU Illinois Purdue Wisconsin Ohio State Michigan Minnesota Penn State I personally believe all 8 should be in...but if the committee decides that the Big Ten doesn't deserve 8 teams, its pretty clear that Penn State is the team that as of right now is the team that's out. I think PSU should be in though, I think they have the potential to make a run in the NCAAs.
-
I think that should be emphatic enough to render tomorrow's result meaningless...unless they go and lose by 30 or something. Considering Illinois' offense the past 3 weeks, winning by 30 would require them to hold Michigan to 12 points. I don't even think a 30 point loss matters. Michigan is in unless every sub-bubble team wins the remaining conference tournaments and maybe Manny Harris gets injured and out for the season.
-
Are you serious? MLB really dropped the ball on this one. -
This would be a fun game to watch...can't believe theres no TV or Radio
-
What goes up...must go down? But for Iowas sake its gotta come down hard because even if things even out, its hard to make up a 21 point deficit with 20 minutes to play. If UM loses this, I will then believe that 2 of my teams have curses on them instead of just the 1.
-
Me too. I bet analysts are already planning their "Kentucky deserves to be in" argument if they can win one more game.
-
As a dim-minded Chicago Tribune columnist would say: DeShawn Sims, your table is ready. 7/7 so far in the game with all 14 of Michigan's points so far.
-
I'm petrified, I am on pins and needles right now. I hope I can settle down for a bit so that I can actually enjoy this game.
-
I am so nervous for michigans game. I have been waiting 11 years to clinch an NCAA bearth and today could be the day. Or it could be another in a series of awful chokes Michigan has had in the last few years.

So he had 3 weeks off between January 25th thru February 14th when pitchers reported. Doesn't seem like he was that far off when he started throwing in Mesa. He should be sharper than most MLB pitchers in the WBC, unless he was suffering through a deadarm period. -

Haha, classic UMF. It's not even the middle of March and you're panicking. It's not panicking, its called an opinion. Your opinion is filled with panic. If Carlos blew a game this early in ST, no one would care. On that last play, the guy just stuck out the bat and placed it perfectly. Nothing much you could do about it. But I never wanted Carlos to be the closer this year. I am not sure if he has the make-up yet. It's not panic at all. I am not worried about the Cubs bullpen as a whole, only Carols' mental state following this game. You can't compare this to a spring training game because its completely different. In spring, pitchers are trying to work on their pitches and build their arm strength, and the results are not important. In the WBC, results are crucial, especially in a country like DR where the country is hanging on every pitch. Carlos has been pitching all winter and all of his pitches presumably should at in or near midseason form. It could be a deadarm period though. Regardless, this game meant a lot to himself and his country, and I'm worried that the result might carry over in his mind. We all have heard of examples of players that are overtaken by the mental side of the game, so its not a stretch to think that it might happen in this case. A tad presumptious, but not a stretch.
