BTW, Nebraska and Okie State played a make up game today and Nebraska all but ended Ok State's NCAA hopes, barring winning the big 12 tourny of course.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 10:39 PM) New Mexico will beat BYU. That is all. Wouldn't shock me(they do have to get by TCU first), but I wouldn't pick it. I'd be much more worried if I were UNLV, Utah is an interesting team and they've definitely shown that they're capable of beating good teams.

QUOTE(SnB @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 05:58 PM) prepare to clean up all the beer he spills. That's what sweat shirts are for. Duh.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 04:19 PM) If the refs had been fair in that game, and SIU shoots...oh, 60 percent from the field in the 2nd half (which is still very hard to do), Creighton still pulls away IMO. Tatum was on one leg and the refs "screwed us over all game" in your own words, YET we didn't deserve to win that game. What about the game in Omaha? Oh, we won by one point, I feel like I'm defending the 05 White Sox here, I forget, if you win by one run/point it's luck as well. I think you saw a CU team that was better than us YESTERDAY and you just all the sudden decided that they were a better team overall. CU is one hell of a team and they're going to make some noise in a week but don't call our wins over them 'lucky' that's asinine.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 04:05 PM) I know they won the league and 2 out of 3 head to head, but having seen all 3 of those games, I think Creighton is better than SIU. The win at Carbondale was total luck (15 for 17 in the second half?? please) and the game in Omaha was decided by 1 point. With that said, I wouldn't be surprised if both of them make the Sweet 16. You know, I have absolutely no problem if you think CU is the better team, they are a very good team. But, you are the one who said SIU got screwed by the officials, you are the one who said that game showed just how good SIU is because the officials were trying to give Creighton the game and they still won, so don't say that game was total luck, because you are completely switching what your first reaction was to that game(I'm talking about the game in Carbondale). At times, you are the Jay Mariotti of soxtalk, you change your opinion for ridiculous reasons.

QUOTE(Jimbo @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 01:41 PM) Young players grow up during conference play, this is why I believe your argument is a bit weak. they did lose out of conference, but in the last month they have turend into a force. or as Digger says, freshamn turn into sophmores. You just lost all credibility for quoting Digger.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 01:29 PM) If it was on the road I might agree, but at home it's a game Iowa should win. It's a game they probably should have won at home, especially considering how that game went. Still, I wouldn't categorize it as a bad loss.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 01:19 PM) I would say Iowa has to get to the final to even have a chance. They have some bad losses (Arizona St., UNI, Drake). And their only big wins are MSU and Indiana at home. UNI isn't a bad loss, the other two definitely are though. Sorry Jas, but Iowa isn't even in the discussion, they need to win the tourny.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 12:46 PM) Row, when are you and I gonna get together, get drunk and then f*** with Greasy and Jason? Soon, I hope. Get your ass to Chicago for a Sox game.

QUOTE(Jimbo @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 12:41 PM) We still have to see if any favorites in conference tourneys win and if any surprised actually win their conference tourneys? For instance is gonzaga in if they lose tonight? They shouldn't be. Who knows though, they are Gonzaga.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 08:38 AM) I agree, but he shouldnt have had that many fouls in the first place. He put himself in a bad spot in the first half, and he had some dumb slap fouls. I wish he would shoot the damn ball, he always passes up those shots he creates for himself until they absolutely need him to shoot it, and then he drills 10 straight points. WTF?! He showed in that few minute stretch how good of a scorer he really can be, I think all Saluki fans know the kid can score if he wants to, he's just too damn unselfish. It's like yesterday he realized that besides JT, no one else showed the hell up and he needed to so something. I hope he looks to create his own shot in the tournament, if he does, it adds another dimension to the offense.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Mar 4, 2007 -> 09:12 PM) there are box scores on the white sox site, but pauly 2 homers, dye, mack and molina homered as well. Haeger gave up 2 runs but one of the runs came off a double that mack should've caught. otherwise scoreless from the others: Garland, Danks, Gio, Aardsma, Sisco. Ya, I know that. I'm more interested in how the young pitchers looked. Thanks for the info.

Anyone got a recap? Just got home from St. Louis a few hours ago so I really haven't been able to keep up with ST stuff this weekend.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 4, 2007 -> 06:46 PM) Drexel and Old Dominion go down along with Hofstra last night as George Mason makes a Cinderella run to the finals. After all this, is the Colonial a bid conference? Even with a GMU win tommorrow, VC has the worst RPI of all of them despite being the best team, so I doubt they get an at-large and the CAA does indeed end up being a one bid league. Also, Marist is down 7 with four minutes to play in their semis. Foxes lose. Too bad, I really wanted to see JJ in the tourny, he's a blast to watch.

We got our asses kicked, the end. CU was just a much better team this weekend. I'm just hoping we don't get screwed now.

QUOTE(knightni @ Mar 4, 2007 -> 03:06 AM) You should stop starting them then. Nah, no alcohol for me this weekend. A few of my buddies on the other hand are completely wasted and were about to throw themselves into a fight between SIU and Creighton fans that basically started because well...people are drunk and retarded. Thing is, out of my 3 buddies that were over there, only one of them can fight and the other two probably would have been knocked the hell out and arrested. Right as I got them out of there, the cops came.

Tonight was the first time ever I had to drag my friends out of a drunken brawl. Good times.

We had absolutely no business winning that game, we slept walk through out the whole damn thing, we just looked horrendous for the most part, it was very frusterating. BU is definitely a good team(Unfortunately for them, they're going to be a NIT team as their overall resume is just not very impressive) so you definitely have to give them credit but that was not a pretty game. That all being said, there is just something about this team, we know how to pull out games that we shouldn't win. I'm pretty sure this team has taken about 30 years off my life this season but I absolutely love it. Love this team and hopefully we can keep it going tomorrow. CU-MSU game was a bit of a let down. I thought it'd be much better than that but Nate Funk was phenominal and MSU just could not stop him. MSU should still be fine but I'm sure they don't exactly feel comfortable after last season. So tomorrow is exactly how this league should end its season, SIU and Creighton, the two teams that have basically built the foundation to what the Valley is now. Creighton has played the best so far this weekend and right now they just look damn good. Hopefully we're actually ready to play tomorrow and don't have to play from behind all game. We've owned Creighton lately but it's so hard to beat a good team 3 times in a season(though CU did do it to MSU) especially when you have a coach like Dana Altman. This game will most likely come down to the last seconds, hopefully we can just keep doing what we do in close games and pull this one out, I don't want to give the committee any reason to screw us over seeding wise.

That was one of the most incredible stretches of basketball I've ever seen. 12 straight fg's? 12 of 14 shooting 3's at one point? My god.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Mar 3, 2007 -> 01:09 AM) College Gameday at Marquette... It's 1:10 AM right now, I'm heading there now for neato T-Shirts and a chance to sit in the lower bowl for the game at 8:00. No, I'm not staying there till 8:00 at night, but it should be fun. It's funny -- I'm not even sure I want to sit in the LD, as none of my friends are 'hardcore' enough to get there earlier enough for LD seats, but I'm just going for the fun of it. I'll have a stogie with me. It better be good. Blow the smoke in Digger's face.

I'm so tired of this clown. The end.
