February 25, 200422 yr MSU, congrats on your first quality win, Michigan welcome to the NIT. Anyone else notice how poorly coached Michigan is? Message to college ADs don't hire former Duke assistant coaches. Second win over UM...plus we beat a better DePaul team.
February 25, 200422 yr How you play in the second half is an important factor, but if they go 9-7 they could sneak in ala Georgia a couple of years ago. Their RPI is over 90 right now. Their chances of making it in the tourney without winning the BTT are slim to none.
February 25, 200422 yr I realized how poorly coached they were. at the begining of the second half michigan was up but they hadn't hit a field goal for a couple minutes and they were playing sloppy but the coach didnt call a timeout.
February 25, 200422 yr Their RPI is over 90 right now. Their chances of making it in the tourney without winning the BTT are slim to none. Yeah, I agree. Plus, they have quite a few bad loses.
February 25, 200422 yr MSU, congrats on your first quality win, Michigan welcome to the NIT. Anyone else notice how poorly coached Michigan is? Message to college ADs don't hire former Duke assistant coaches. I have to disagree. Anybody who follows Michigan Athletics knows that the basketball team was in utter turmoil for more than a few years. When amaker came in, things settled down, and he cleaned house. He got rid of some decent players who weren't committed, and really brought in some strong kids. Horton, Abram, and Robinson Jr. may have more to do with Michigan's success lately on the court than Amaker's coaching, but at least this is finally becoming a respectable program again. f*** Brian Ellerbe (just felt it was needed)
February 25, 200422 yr Purdue won't get in at large, between the injuries and the s***ty play, they are done unless they win the big 10 tourney. Don't know if it's been talked about on here but Ivan Kartelo got arrested for PI and Battery early Sunday morning. So he'll probably be out against Whisky on Sunday, if not longer. The good wins vs. bad losses pretty much equal out, which leaves you with a team that when healthy can beat anyone or can score 39 against NW at home. You never know which team you're going to see, which makes it interesting for the selection committee. BTW... The RPI isn't up to 90... yet.

He wasn't a good coach at Seton Hall either. He is a great recruiter who has a lot of talent and does very little with it.
February 25, 200422 yr Think what you want but Amaker is a bad game coach. He wasn't a good coach at Seton Hall either. He is a great recruiter who has a lot of talent and does very little with it. Yeah I am not saying he is Coach K. or anything, and I find many of his decisions to be questionable. But Michigan needed someone to restore the dignity in this program and he has done it. Now either he will continue to bring in talent and Michigan will try to ride that. Or we will use our restored image to try to get a more established coach, I don't know which will happen, but I don't think Amaker's future is a pressing issue right now. Amaker may end up being the biggest hero in UofM B-ball since Glen Rice.
February 25, 200422 yr I'm not sure if this will do much for Missouri, but they get the solid win over #6 OSU 93-92, in 2 OT, and they storm the court........
February 25, 200422 yr I'm not sure if this will do much for Missouri, but they get the solid win over #6 OSU 93-92, in 2 OT, and they storm the court........ Watch after all of Mizzou's problems this year, they will win the big-12 tourney and end up in the NCAA's afterall.
February 25, 200422 yr WOW... Alabama down 1 at Auburn, and they get fouled on the three point attempt w/ 6.9 seconds left.... They make 2 of 3, and are now up on Auburn 72-71 w/ 6 seconds left.... Auburn gets a shot up and misses...'Bama wins a good one...
February 25, 200422 yr Watch after all of Mizzou's problems this year, they will win the big-12 tourney and end up in the NCAA's afterall. I really think they will find a way to sneak into the tourny.
February 25, 200422 yr I really think they will find a way to sneak into the tourny. Yeah, a HUGE win over a top 10 team this late in the season doesn't go unnoticed. Their RPI is not bad, it's 47, and that was before today's win. Jerry Palm (collegerpi.com) said he only left them off the field of 65 as of now because their record of 13-10 isn't good enough. If they can improve that, which they did tonight, they will be in.
February 26, 200422 yr I need a new avatar, this is getting ridiculous.... 32-22 NW up on IU at the half....
February 26, 200422 yr I need a new avatar, this is getting ridiculous.... 32-22 NW up on IU at the half.... Psss...that's cause they suck.
February 26, 200422 yr NIT! NIT! NIT! It works for both teams involved in this game. The sad thing is that for Indiana it's a bad thing, and for Northwestern it's a good thing.
February 26, 200422 yr northwestern has been surprising lately. I don't think it's surprising as they have won 6 games in the Big Ten, 6-6 overall. If they keep playing well at home they should finish 9-7 in the Big Ten.
February 26, 200422 yr DePaul beat Louisville on the road tonight. Louisville being ranked at this point is a joke, they have now lost 6 out of 7 games but since the pollsters are morons they will probably still be ranked next weak.

You can't completely deny what they did before that, but I agree with you.
