Derrick needs to drink some sizzurp and get in the game.

I don't approve of everyone drinking at 9 am while I'm stuck at work. Not cool everyone else in Chicago, not cool.

Steve explain yourself...

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 16, 2013 -> 07:20 AM) I just went from six to midnight. They're just toying with our emotions.

Why am I arguing against the mid major right now? What's going on?

QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 15, 2013 -> 08:46 PM) The bubble is so bad that Middle Tennessee should be in. 28-5 is good enough compared to what these other teams bring to the table. I'm of the opinion that you have to beat at least 1 tourney team no matter what your record is. Like I said, I'm definitely rooting for them though.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Mar 15, 2013 -> 08:26 PM) And that is how upsets happen. Favored team cant hit 3s and underdog cant miss. Maryland keeping their slim hopes alive. If you're Maryland you root for UNC tonight, right?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 15, 2013 -> 02:45 PM) So, is Iowa State locked in now? Have to be I'd think. Oklahoma is probably in too, but not as sure there. Baylor is out. Correct on all 3.

Bill Self got a tad angry.

Tenn, Lasalle and Virginia crippled themselves today though I'm sure at least one will be in. Might open the door for MTSU to slip in, I think they're better than all teams mentioned(except maybe Virginia) but I don't think they should be in the field. That being said, I'm definitely rooting for them to get in.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 14, 2013 -> 02:28 PM) Then why have 65 teams in the tournament? Why not make it 16? Let's really make it interesting, and screw these conference tournaments. By your knowledge of how many teams are actually in the tournament I assume you're a huge college basketball fan.

I say this every time someone brings up expanding the tourney but ill say it again...it's the most perfect thing in sports leave it the f*** alone.

KC Johnson's article basically just confirms that it's 100 percent mental with Derrick right now.

It'll be interesting to see if the Creighton win can get St Mary's into the dance cause their resume pretty much sucks outside that one home win.

QUOTE (Jake @ Mar 7, 2013 -> 10:13 AM) Lunardi has Illini as 9 seed. I'd sure like us to avoid a 1/2 in round of 32. However, if we played Memphis like he thinks we would fare well. They pretty much just run and jump. Having Memphis above Illinois is funny. If Memphis loses in the CUSA tourney they'll be right on the bubble.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Mar 7, 2013 -> 12:57 PM) Every other weekend except Arch Madness and Mardi Gras, yes. The city itself is pretty meh but I have an awesome time there every time I go.

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 6, 2013 -> 11:10 PM) I think a long term contract isn't a bad thing, but he's a season or two from Tommy John. Based on nothing. This seems like the perfect time to lock Sale up if possible.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 7, 2013 -> 06:09 AM) 4.5 hours from Chicago to St. Louis? Unless you go like 90, no way! Google and everyone else I have talked to says 4.5.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Mar 6, 2013 -> 10:35 PM) Leaving directly from work tomorrow. Going to be a really slow day. Ditto. I'm off at 4 pm so I should make it to the lou just in time for tip off of the SIU game. And yes, I'm awake at 4 am cause I'm worse than a little kid and can't sleep cause I'm so excited.

I got a shout out during the Stevenson-Mundelein webcast today, I felt so honored.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Mar 6, 2013 -> 07:55 PM) They look vulnerable of late, including tonight. However, I think I'd lean Georgetown. Their offensive efficiency is really low. Ya I'm not gtowns biggest fan either. I could see either losing in the rd of 32 but I think there's a better shot UM goes down the first weekend.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 6, 2013 -> 07:56 AM) I thought he died years ago when the Undertaker buried him in cement? Seriously, RIP. With his weight, it was a ticking time bomb though. I'm assuming that is how he died. Ya I had the same reaction to him dying as I did Rick Majerus, very sad but it was coming unfortunately.

Paul Bearer died.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Mar 5, 2013 -> 05:53 PM) Supposed to be around 60 degrees all weekend in St. Louis. Starting to get pumped for Arch Madness. Ya I'm pumped. Kenpom has IlSU as the 3rd most likely champion fwiw.

Michigan is so flawed. I still think they'll be the first 1/2 seed eliminated from the big dance.
