Buehrle>Wood

Since complaining about refs is my favorite thing to do, it saddens me that that was Tim Higgins last ever game last night.

Illinois wins the most prestigous preseason tourney. Take it for what its worth this year of course, but I apologize for my continual bashing of Illinois until further notice. They looked very good this tourney.

Illinois looking Gooooooodd.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 22, 2012 -> 12:08 AM) Yep, Indiana isn't a target, yet everyone is here talking about them. Point. Illinois is the most talked about program in this thread. Therefore, Illinois has the biggest target on them in all of college basketball.

QUOTE (He_Gawn @ Nov 21, 2012 -> 11:14 PM) And please, how is Crean and Indiana disrespecting the Bigten and it's coaches????? Looks to me like he put the Bigten in the spotlight the past two years. ...

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 21, 2012 -> 06:04 PM) Deadspin: D-III player's 138 point game is a sham record and shouldn't be celebrated by anyone Interesting breakdown of the game & Grinnell's game plan I think everyone knows what it is, but it is still awesome.

I'm so glad this Hu guy doesn't play in the Big Ten.

Butler up 27 on UNC. Didn't see that coming.

Rotnei Clark is a beast. Butler up 15 on UNC.

To be fair, UMD financial problems were their own doing. Not that BT isn't a bigger cash cow.

ESPN owns LHN. Fox owns a lot of the BTN. That's not going to work.

Illinois up 34 in the first half. That's something I did not expect.

ESPN: "Illinois the most impressive team of the day" Miss UNC?

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 20, 2012 -> 05:57 AM) Yeah, some of the guys they added like the two Wake Forest guys were terrible at Wake. They'll win more than 6 games this year, but they're likely to be a sub .500 team on the year. I can't believe USC was favored tonight. Yes. I wish I had money to bet because that line was ridiculous.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Nov 20, 2012 -> 05:52 AM) I am not goin to miss Tyler Griffey at all, but I'm very happy dont have to watch weber's boring ass offense anymore. Is USC really this bad? USC has to be one of the worst BCS teams in the country. They won six games last year. Completely different roster, but that's not a good thing in CBB.

Illinois starting out well. Not sold on them at all, but I will say they look a lot different.

Texas loses to Chaminade. Chaminade now 7-76 in the Maui Invite.

Texas down 15 now.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 20, 2012 -> 03:54 AM) Texas looks awful, Chaminade easily the better team so far tonight. Extremely weak Maui tournament this year with a lot of these named teams being down this season. Yeah, it's not like Chaminade is playing out of their minds either (at least not relative to a decent d1 team). Texas is just bad. Meanwhile, Kansas is looking good on ESPN2. Ben McLemore is quite impressive.

Texas down 10.

Chaminade up 4 on Texas at the half.

QUOTE (He_Gawn @ Nov 20, 2012 -> 01:18 AM) Please, if one bad call goes against your team, the refs are working for Vegas against you. You have that reputation from every schools fanbase in the bigten. Maryland basketball fans will catch on quick after your fans flood their board after the first bad call. Uh huh.

QUOTE (He_Gawn @ Nov 20, 2012 -> 02:04 AM) Yes, he milked it so much he had to go change his contact and see the trainer. Agreed.

I'm sure it is a joke that he is able to play, but I'm looking forward to seeing Shabazz tonight.

I've angered another one now. You guys get riled way too easily. Zeller milked that for all it was worth. Okay, harmless, just like my comment. Let's move on.
