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.

Conference tournaments start today!

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 4, 2013 -> 06:51 PM) I just got a text from The Undertaker. True story As did I. He denied my face time though.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Mar 4, 2013 -> 08:48 AM) I'm just bitter is all. I know and understandably so.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 3, 2013 -> 08:11 PM) He'll only average 20 a game. He's talking about Greg when Doug is gone. QUOTE (Rex Hudler @ Mar 3, 2013 -> 08:11 PM) Where is the word coming from that Creighton is joining the Big East? I can see it making sense on some level, but I have only heard Butler and Xavier mentioned on a national level. There's been articles and mentions all over the place. They're as good as gone unfortunately.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Mar 3, 2013 -> 07:38 PM) The bubble sucks this year. The fact that Baylor is still as close as they are should say something, because they are hot garbage. I don't see Iowa making a run without Gesell. The bubble sucks every year.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 3, 2013 -> 05:42 PM) Derrick Rose is starting to feel like a myth. He only exists in avatar form.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 3, 2013 -> 12:13 PM) To say they did. I may get heat for this, but when did Taylor Swift get so hot? She is wearing these sexy clothes lately and I'm digging it. I've always thought she was a cutie, she's straight up sexy now. QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Mar 3, 2013 -> 02:46 PM) Why do people run on ice? Cause they want cool scars on their forehead.

Trey Burke bueno.

In bubble news Virginia loses to BC. Ouch.

And once again lol

Lol

Overtime in Pitt. Bubble teams watching nova.

QUOTE (Rex Hudler @ Mar 3, 2013 -> 12:51 PM) I looked at Evansville's "resume" and it is much better than I thought. 2-5 vs. RPI Top 50 5-6 vs. RPI Top 100 (includes ND, Butler & Colorado State, all on the road) But here is the killer..... Losses (RPI 150+) RPI DATE OPPONENT SCORE 221 Nov. 15 Buffalo* 50-56 211 Feb. 2 @ Missouri State 61-62 181 Feb. 5 @ Bradley 70-76 177 Feb. 13 @ Southern Illinois 56-65 If Evansville wins all 4, they would be 22 - 9 and likely a bubble team. Their struggles on the road have really, really hurt them. They have won their last two road games @ Wichita and @ Wright St, however. Not sure how I like their chances in Arch Madness. I know they gave Creighton a tough time last year (win @ home, 1 pt loss in OT on the road). But I don't like having to play IN state back to back games. For whatever reason, playing against Jake Odum isn't comfortable. He finds ways to beat you. A semifinal game vs. Creighton is FAR from a given. Sadly, this is a senior laden team so it may take a couple of years before they are even back to this point. They've been playing the best ball of any team in the league so who knows. Any of the top 6 seeds could win and I wouldn't be surprised.

2nd is the best
