QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 04:48 PM) It has nothing to do with Illinois. Illinois sucks. The Illinois program isn't going to do anything of note for quite some time. My point remains. EDIT: ...but, good luck with Bucknell. You know how those fantastic mid-major teams, chock full of mid-major talent can sneak up on some great college basketball programs in the tournament. your bitter, im not worried the least.

QUOTE(watchtower41 @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 04:49 PM) As of lately he has been amazing...my point being, he has to continue to step up so there is not as much pressure on Durant. Texas has somewhat flown under the radar in for most of the early part of the year, because most people thought they were just Durant. The Big XII may only get 4 in, but I'm expecting 3 of them to get to the Sweet 16. and strangely all 3 teams are in texas

Look how easy that is Weber!! Zook is a quality coach, and illinois will be good very soon.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 04:30 PM) JD=DB Sorry. I just couldn't keep it in anymore. sorry the truth hurts my friend, illinois is going in a total direction than they should be. I mean next year's class is just as much crap as this year. wooooohoooo a bunch of fringe top 150 players.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 03:59 PM) Man all but 2 guys that Illinois is going after fell off the 150 map for 2008. People are going to deny they've even talked to Illinois at this rate, being recruited by Bruce is the complete opposite as Coach K in terms of what it does to your ranking. get used to it, high school and aau coaches dont appear to like squeaky.

Dude, Augustin is simply amazing as well.

QUOTE(Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 03:36 PM) I think Illinois has to win its first game and not get blown out in the second and they should be fine. Too big of a name, too popular of a program to be left out. If Purdue wins against Iowa I would not be shocked if they get in as well. At the end of the day the tournament comes down to viewership and money. popular program, since when???

Prior was such a steroid user its sick.

ill take a laugh good pitching Lance!!!

Broadway developed a sinker this last few weeks they said.

Rbi single for Kong, 3-1

Not bad, bad for keeper leagues with Mike Bell.

Bill Hall hit a monster shot off of Burls. 1-1

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 02:04 PM) Why is my argument weak because of young players? Almost every team has young players, OSU, UNC, etc. The team that they lost to MSU, also has many young playes and they are just starting to come into their own as well. And of course hes gonna quote the Diggler, Phelps hates the Big 10 and loves the Big 12. Phelps hates the Big 12, he loves one team, NOTRE DAME. What i mean is Texas just turned into a powerhouse in the last few weeks, before they were not playing together very well. I love BIll Simmons, page 2 On KU: "Kansas proved that ... A. When they need it, they can hit another gear that no other college team currently possesses (not even Florida). Barring a late-minute switch because of something that happens this week, I'm picking them to win the title. B. They're the deepest, most talented, most flexible team in the country. For instance, they abandoned the pound-it-inside game plan when they fell behind by 16, switched to run-and-gun and dropped 48 points in the second half. Just an awesome performance." His take on the Hansbrough Hit was great, too: "Congrats to Coach K for questioning why Hansbrough was still in the game and inadvertently using Isiah Thomas' "he was asking for it" defense. And the Duke fans wonder why everyone hates Duke. If the roles were reversed, and this had happened to McRoberts, Coach K would have shown up for the press conference covered in McRoberts's blood, fighting back tears, urging for the offending UNC player to be suspended for the entire tournament and basically looking like Jackie Kennedy in Dallas after the JFK shooting. God, I hate Duke."

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 02:14 PM) Out of character for Buehrle, he is working quickly. Mark K's Weeks. You're underselling this up and coming Brewers lineup, they're a pretty fun team to watch. Quick 1-2-3 inning for Mark. Brewers are my pick for the Wild Card, but there in not much to discuss right now, they are young and not much about them.

Willie Warren is now #13 in the nation, moving up to Lawrence in a deluxe apt in the sky!!!

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 02:09 PM) I think these are the Brew crew guys, but all they do is talk abou the Sox. its the brewers not much to discuss

Double play by JD 1-0 sox!

rbi single for kong small ball, sox!!

1 out, konerko up

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 01:47 PM) You just lost all credibility for quoting Digger. I hate the tielighter as much as you, but thats is his favorite comment.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO he has teh coolest name in the big 12.

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.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 01:14 PM) Ya, only a few games over. That said we still have a shot at 20 wins if we have a nice tourney. This is true, I forgot about the tourney.

Isnt Iowa barely above .500?
