54-52 2 minutes left. ISU losing would really make the selection show interesting. I still think they should be in, but they'll definately be sweating.

Raiders won't move to LA because the majority owners (not Al Davis) are mobsters and the real reason they left was because they were in deep s*** in LA and trust me they won't be back. This was the talk when they originally left LA and its the only reason Al Davis is the spokesman for the team and not the real backers.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 11, 2005 -> 02:04 PM) I'm at a loss for words right now. This is just ridiculous. Well ESPN has just sold me on buying that CSTV package so I make sure I can get all the games I want to see in the tourney. 10 bucks will be well worth it.

1 point game ISU up with TT losing. Omg total bulls***, they are actually going to the Holy Cross game. Its the first f***ing half when you have a 1 point game late in the 2nd half in the big 12. No loss to show the end of ISU-TT game and then going to the HOly Cross game (they are getting spanked right now). I swear, every year I b**** at CBS and ESPN and how big of f***tards they are with there programming.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 11, 2005 -> 02:01 PM) f*** ESPN, let's go alreayd, this is a 19 pt game. Good lord...if they actually go to the Bucknell Holy Cross start instead of the end of the ISU-TT game I'm gonna go nuts.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 11, 2005 -> 02:00 PM) Only one minute left, hopefully they'll get on it right away We continue to be shown this game because Dickie V is announcing probably. "Gotta give the people what they want" Dickie V is a retarded jackass.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Mar 11, 2005 -> 01:59 PM) They trailed most of the 2nd half. Either way, I'm still surprised everyone picked they way they did. I shouldn't be because people see Northwestern and assume they will lose. Lord knows the Hawkeyes have done that plenty of times

Me too, I don't get why we have to watch GT-VT when its an asswhooping. For christ sakes ESPN's gotta figure this out. I'd understand if I was in the ACC region but I'm not, I'm in the west coast so give me the best damn game. ISU wins this won and they are in for sure. I think they are already in, but this would cinch it. It be a good thing too because it helps the case for my Hawks, imo, even though ISU is a bubble team I don't think of them as a competing team in terms of the Hawks potential spot.

They just better do good on Sunday against the Clippers because I'll be there

Funny thing is, if Iowa doesn't do it today, there is a decent shot that IU will get Alford and Iowa would get Davis. Personally I'd have no problem with that cause I like Davis.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Mar 11, 2005 -> 01:49 PM) I got an AMEX. For $10, I'd watch the games. Hehe. I got one too. If your in I can order it and then we'll just doc the 10 bucks or whatever from server costs...ehh I hear its pretty good online and you can watch multiple games at once and stuff. I figure 10 bucks is a small price to pay.

Should be a good game. Wish I could see it, hopefully they'll win.

Should he...No, but will he...Yes I think the alumni calling for his head will be too much for the AD and they'll eventually axe him. Personally I think he's getting way too much blame because I think in general he's done a good job. This team was insanely young and its tough to do as good as they did with a team that young. Young teams are bound to be inconsistent. IU will be a very good team next year. Hell, the Big 10 should once again be one of the premier conferences next year. If Ill doesn't lose too many guys to early entry, then them, MSU, and IU will all have very good clubs, Iowa has the talent (we'll see if they could put it together) and then of course Ohio State is a good team as well and then Wisconsin and Minny.

GA Tech handing it to VaTech 56-38 with 8:33 remaining. I think they'll get there bid.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Mar 11, 2005 -> 01:36 PM) She has my prayers also. THis game would be fine if right after they would go to the Big Ten tourney since there is 2 hours till the next game.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 11, 2005 -> 01:35 PM) Yeah, but McBride is still playing like s***. It's very disappointing, and he has shown some real attitude from what i can tell. I didn't realize they could of had Igudala instead of him but Weber saw Ig on a bad day and I guess opted for McBride instead. The Illini would of been sick last year with Iggy.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 11, 2005 -> 01:34 PM) Jas, odd twist of fate... Games are on ESPN Plus, but i don't think we get them here in Champaign, so i might need to find a place that has Full Court as well... I'm looking for answers. Ya, the Wisc game is on plus too. How weak is that?? The Big 10 tourney is getting no love. Someone should have the feed live without having to subscribe, imo. I did see one really cool thing. CSTV is gonna have a package where you can get all the NCAA games. Its 19.95 for the tourney but buy one get one free with Amex. I just need to find someone to split it with cause that sounds like a sweet deal if Iowa and/or Fullerton get in cause I know those games won't be broadcasted, well maybe Fullerton, but Iowa wouldn't be on down here.

Prayers go out.

My guess is they will quickly turn to that game, although it may be halftime now. But they'll be showing some game right when this one ends.

Me either, way lame. ESPN has botched this. The Iowa-MSU game has big time tourney rammifcations and isn't on. Then you have UAB on instead...gimme a break. Then TT-ISU is a big game. ESPN should use all of there channels to televise this stuff. Use classic sports network, etc.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 11, 2005 -> 01:16 PM) I don't see how Iowa could get blown out as an 8 or 9 seed in the first game I don't either. I'm not saying they are the best out there, but if they win they better get in. A lot of the bubble teams have struggled and a win over MSU shows that they can play with pretty much anyone. I'm biased though so what do I know, LOL. I'm gonna be antsy to get to the bar to watch the game.

ISU is down 34-32 right now.

I may of been wrong when I said Clemson had it won, but Minn has definately got this one won. The game is in the fridge as Chickie would say. 66-47 with 4:30 remaining.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 11, 2005 -> 01:09 PM) God i hate this. It shouldn't be about what they can/can't do without pierce, it should be about what they've done this season, period. You may not agree, but whatever. Let's say Illinois starters all get hurt tomorrow. They should still be a 1 seed based on what they've done, not what the committee now thinks they can do. If you base it off of what you think teams can do, you should just make the bracket before the season starts based on potential. I agree with that. Just think of when Kenyon Martin went down (I think it was Kenyon) in the conference tourney and Cincy who was gonna be a #1 seed all along. Now they got dropped early but they should of still been a #1 and not a #2. Regardless of the fact, I look at how a team has played all season because thats what your playing for. You shouldn't get in because they don't think your as good anymore because a guy is done. If the team has played good enough all year to warrant entry then they should be in.

Good...go Minny. Improves the shot for my Hawks
