23-0, off to Michigan tuesday.

 

Don't remind me. A month ago i would of believed the Wolverines could off an upset, but no chance in hell now. They are a train wreck!

Michigan St. has a commanding lead on Iowa... no surprise there.

Hell the rest of the big 10 is garbage next to the Illini. So come tourney time I'll definately be pulling for the Illini cause right now it looks liek they are the only ones that can make the big 10 look respectable.

 

MSU, Wisc, Iowa, Minn, Michigan are all mediocre in my book with MSU being the best of the bunch. I happen to think MSU, Wisc, and Iowa have the talent to make some noise, but the Illini are freaking legit.

Thanks, calling Michigan mediocre right now is a compliment!

 

Big 10 may only get 3 teams, opening the door for mid majors like SIU, or Northern Iowa, whomever does not win the MVC.

I've been doing a lot of Davis supporting of late.  I really want him to be here next year.  I just can't wait to see Killer and White down low with these freshmen.  I think Wright's going to be back now.  Also, this was brought up in the last IndyStar column.  The Knight backers are f***tarded.  The people that say Davis took Knight's players to the final four, na uh.  Who was the recruiter of those players?  Davis.  Who's system was that?  Davis'.  Also that argument should go over to Texas Tech.  The Knight backers that say he's doing a good job at Texas Tech.  He didn't recruit those players.  The whole argument should be moot.

 

I agree with much of that but not all. My problems with Davis have nothing to do with the pro-Knight idiots, nor who won with whose players. My issues with Davis are documented so I will not repeat them here. But I think the thing that will hurt Davis the most is the $300,000 bonus he is due July 1st. If the AD has ANY doubt that Davis is the guy long term or ANY inkling that if things don't go well he will have the same decision to make, there is no way he will invest an additional $300,000 in Davis. If there is any doubt at all, DAvis will go or it will cost them more money to keep him.

 

As far as Knight goes, he is doing well at Texas Tech and he is pretty much doing it with his own players. Knight ran off several players when he first got there and made sure that the players that stayed would buy into his system. The catch is that all of that has absolutely nothing to do with the decision that needs to be made at Alabama.

I think Ill, Wisc, MSU are locks -- Minn is solidly in right now, so long as they don't fold down the stretch...

 

Mich is out barring a miraculous run. Same goes for Iowa. Indiana has an outside shot, but needs some signature wins. OSU is ineligible. Purdue isn't worth mentioning. Penn State, likewise. That leaves Northwestern, No.

Did Deron have any points in that game?? Last i checked he was like 0-9 or something....really horrible shooting, but he did have a lot of assists.....and a few turnovers. Overall grade I give the Illini that game is C-. They had a few "A" moments but played horrible overall.

1 point. 11 assists. Bad shooting day, that's for sure.

You gotta give the Hoosiers some credit though. They shut down the Illini pretty well for most of the game, but they were just to much for the Hoosiers. They did the same vs UNC and UCONN but still lost. Nice to see some D.

They did play some D, but a lot of it was us not hitting any shots. Open ones.

Agreed. It would be difficult for Minnesota to fold this year -- they have IU, MSU, PU and PSU on the road and NU, OSU and Iowa at home. Of course, I've seen them lose too many must-wins under Monson to be really confident.

 

Bracketology has them playing MD in Round One, with a possible Round Two matchup against Kansas.

 

I think it's four for the Big Ten, since I can't see Michigan or Iowa getting in. Those two are playing with an utter lack of confidence right now. It could be really ugly tomorrow night in Ann Arbor.

I might be selling my ticket for this Saturdays game against Wisconsin if I cannot make it back from Kentucky...its a floor seat but not Orange Krush if you want more info feel free to PM me and how much you are willing to pay

LOL, i'm selling my saturday Wisconsin ticket because i have hockey games, it is Orange Krush, all-american style

if either of you guys had 2 for sale i could get my bro and dad up here to see the game.

Leaving at about 11:30 from school today to go up to Michigan. Can't wait!

Illini

Have a nice time, I'm sure it'll be a riveting affair.

you better have an orange shirt on.

you better have an orange shirt on.

I agree...

Illinois at Michigan, 6:00 ESPN

 

I'm also going to be watching BC at ND 6:00 on ESPN2, hoping BC goes down

This one ain't gonna be close.

 

At least we can beat this school in basketball...shouldn't even be a contest.

 

Go get em' boys!

ND up 7 with 7 to play in the 1st over BC.

Speechless.

Wow wow wow.

Down 4 at the half.

 

We can't score against their damn zone.

And as usual, as soon as I start watching, they blow a f***ing 10 point lead. :banghead :headshake

 

I can't watch this any more of this.

I cant say im very suprised...they dont even look like they want to be there.

Just remember, this is the same Michigan team that lost to Purdue by about 235 points a week or so ago. I can't see them holding on through the entire second half.
