Jimbo's Drinker

1. Florida 2. UNC 3. Ohio State(beats Wiscy) 4. A&M 2 seeds 1. Wiscy 2. KU 3. UCLA 4. TBD NIT Illinois v. Duke first round...haha i had too, its jimbo for goodness sakes. QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Feb 12, 2007 -> 04:38 PM) He's our center, best one in the Valley. Here he is: And here's Tatum: Then I love Tatum, Falker is just a bruiser. SIU is the best team to come out of the MVC in the last 10 years, i think they are a lock for at least elite 8.

QUOTE(watchtower41 @ Feb 12, 2007 -> 04:27 PM) Good point here, and you are correct... however, if Wiscy/OSU face off in the finals, the winner of the Big Ten regular season will get the #1... no matter who has more quality wins. There is no way enough room to make 2 Big 10 teams #1 seed of course this is all a what if scenrio... but what I was trying to say, lets say Wiscy wins the Big Ten regular season title by a full game, but then goes onto lose in the 2nd round of the Big Ten tournament to lets say Mich State and Ohio State looks dominant all weekend.... The Buckeyes would get #1. With the selction committee, its all about what have you done for me lately.... looking good at the right times Sometimes the committee wont even look at Sunday games, happened with KU and OU a few years ago. QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Feb 12, 2007 -> 04:32 PM) No, you're talking about Tatum. then who the hell is falker?

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Feb 12, 2007 -> 04:27 PM) He's not our pg, though he does play it a lot when Mullins is on the bench. But yes, he's quite the player. Is that Falker??

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Feb 12, 2007 -> 04:15 PM) The point guard, hes a senior...guy is just pure drive. Love watching him, would take him over many PG's, just not Sherron.

Upon looking at the top 25, Kansas has beaten 4 of them...not too shabby i guess.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 12, 2007 -> 03:42 PM) Wow, they need to realize that OSU is not the #2 team. Why oh why do they keep moving us up so high? ?????

SIU will be a 4 seed, book it.....love that guy with the crazy hair.

I agree Red and White, got your back now, but that is just dumb.

Should I start a league or just wait for an invite?

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Feb 12, 2007 -> 11:52 AM) I'm excited because we have an actual PG (who could win Mr. Basketball in Wiscy this year) along with *****Craig Brackins.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Feb 12, 2007 -> 11:45 AM) So, I don't know if anyone noticed, but Durant was held in check by a 6-4 senior walkon guard from ISU who only played the second 10+ minute game of his life against Texas. Pretty sad when this is what you can hang your hat on...go clones.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 12, 2007 -> 02:11 AM) I cannot express enough how much of a mistake it would be to trade Luol Deng. If you want to send away Gordon, P.J. Brown, and the pick to get Gasol then do it, but Deng is emerging as something special. Absolutely....dont even touch Deng, he is a star on the rise. Gordon is crap, a better version of Jamal Crawford.

Win at Mich, loss at Purdue. A split would be expected.

Duke will go up in the rankings.

WEll go deeper this year....illanoy will be nit bound.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Feb 11, 2007 -> 11:16 AM) Duck, I see things flying across the room shortly. Please excuse my ignorance, but I am not familiar with Patrick Beverly and Stefhon Hannan. By your post, I am assuming they are recruits Weber was unable to get to Illinois. But where are they now? ahhh im glad you asked. These are all players from the Chicagoland area, oh im sure there are plenty more i have missed. The key to recruting for Illanoy is to keep the state, im proving a point. Patrick Beverly is a stud freshman at Arkansas averagine 14 a game...much better than Frazier Stefon Hannah is a junior guard at Missouri putting up at least 12 a game...much better than "ill settle for a 3" Mcbride.

Hasn't this guy been almost traded like 7 times? I would take him, give them Broadway.

What do you get when you mix Julian Wright, Jon Scheyer, Sherron Collins, Patrick Beverly, Stefhon Hannan and Eric Gordon. Many Many first round NIT games at Assembly Hall. Go Bruce Weber Go.

Julian Wright is just flat out good

Their resume sucks and have one half decent win....Indiana.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 10, 2007 -> 05:37 PM) To steal a line from myself: Obsessed much? No, just too much fun

ILL- NIT

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Feb 10, 2007 -> 05:17 PM) Yeah im sure most recruits are really turned off when a team loses a close one on the road? Please Illinois and Indiana are basically at the exact same place in terms of the Big 10. In the past few years Illinois has dominated the Big 10, one bad year does not make a life time. If I was a recruit I would be going to OSU or Wisconsin anyways. Its apparent a national title championship game does not help get top recruits either.....

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Feb 10, 2007 -> 05:13 PM) It was over five seconds. The only debate Illinois fans can make is that DJ wasn't closely guarding him for five consecutive seconds. It doesn't bother me at all. He's only embarrassing himself. If I was a recruit and traveled with the team as many youngsters do, I'd be completely turned off by Weber's performance today and against IU in general in the last six months. You guys are still talking about this game...IU defends their court, as they should. Weber had zero clue what to do with his lack of talent down the stretch. Rock Chalk.

Red and White is correct, Illinois is looking at nothing but gray skies for quite awhile. KU kills Missouri. Julian Wright playing out of his f'in mind.
