QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Feb 10, 2013 -> 03:26 PM) Very odd team, then again their efficiency has looked a lot better than their results and talent all year. Yup. No doubt. I'm happy you were smart enough to post it with the spoiler tags, I wasn't smart enough to think of that.

Rex, Iowa is no where close to Illinois in terms of a bid.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Feb 10, 2013 -> 02:37 PM) I think Indiana is ~15th defensively, so I'll go with...Kansas? Nope. It's a little out there, not a team you'd think about right away.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Feb 10, 2013 -> 02:17 PM) It's tiresome at this point. Just because you say it 100 times doesn't make it true, or more than any other fan base. Everyone b****es about officiating. Except me cause I'm perfect. Random question of the day: there are only two teams in the country that are in the top 10 in offensive and defensive efficiency according to Kenpom, one is Florida, who is the other? B>W you don't get to answer.

This is extremely random since they're on the road but the Oladipo chant makes me miss Nocioni. Victor is good btw.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Feb 10, 2013 -> 12:21 AM) I hate ISU. Looks like I'm back on board. Not sure what the hell happened to you guys to begin conference play but you're definitely the 3rd or 4th best team in the conference.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Feb 10, 2013 -> 04:31 AM) I think "last game in storied rivalry that your rival has historically dominated with late come back" allows an exception. Players were right. It's a much bigger "f*** you" to Kansas to not storm. That's why I think storming the court is so dumb.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 9, 2013 -> 01:48 PM) LeBron James has made 37 of his last 47 shots and is now shooting exactly 56% from the field overall. Between him and Durant, I officially no longer miss the Jordan era. You're a bulls fan who doesn't miss the Jordan era?

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Feb 9, 2013 -> 12:52 PM) Michigan absolutely stupid not to foul him as he catches the ball. Don't even let them have an opportunity for a 3 like that. I didn't get to see the game(hooray work) but you always always always foul in those situations. I will never understand why anyone disputes that.

Most boring & uneventful offseason you can recall?
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 8, 2013 -> 08:28 PM) Castro was definitely a bust when we acquired him. Former top prospect who got crushed when he reached AAa. I misinterpreted it, if that's what he meant.

2013 TV Thread
QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Feb 8, 2013 -> 11:18 AM) I enjoyed the premiere but was let down by the second episode. They needed to do a better job explaining why the leads were so pro-communist and anti-american to start. I feel like they did the opposite - they established that both had s***ty lives at home, became spies, live nicely in America but still want to bring death to democracy and capitalism. How does that make sense? Also, when you start the show with one of these people openly questioning whether to defect, their undercover missions become less important and the audience loses interest. Why do I care what they're doing when one of them doesn't really care? Why are they risking it all? And then Keri Russell's character at the end of this episode basically said the same thing as her husband in the first episode - yeah, i love my kids, maybe this isn't worth it. Hey daughter, let's get your ear pierced like these other American girls! So neither really believes in what they're doing anymore, they both are accepting of American values, and yet we're supposed to believe that they'll risk their lives for these crazy spy missions? Meh. They lost me. (and that's ignoring the really convenient FBI agent neighbor storyline) You analyze too much.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 7, 2013 -> 05:00 PM) Hi & no it did not suck. I seen Spider-Man 3 yesterday & I want to watch again. I will give it almost a 9. It was 2 things that I didn't like. 1) The actor who played Venom he doest NOT FIT & he is way to skinny to play Venom! Venom he is tall & buff as hell. 2) When Peter Parker turns into a bad boy type, it is really cheesy when he goes to music club & starts dancing? He also comb his hair like Hitler when he goes out. The rest of the movie I love it!! When Spider-Man 3 gets release, I will not buy the DVD. I will buy it on HD-DVD. Because DVD sucks. Can't wait. A 6th grader write that?

Nate Wolters dropped 53 tonight. Hopefully he gets another shot in the tourney though ND State is just better and Western plays like the slowest tempo ever which would be interesting in a tournament setting.
