March 7, 200521 yr QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 7, 2005 -> 08:42 PM) Iowa over Wisky and MSU? Not a chance. This is the Big Ten tourney, and as an Illini fan you would know anything is possible here and nothing really ever stays close to the seedings. No love for OSU? I see only 1 other person had them in the semis.

March 8, 200521 yr Author I find it funny how everyone has taken Michigan over Northwestern. Not that it matters, but I'd almost go as far as to guarantee a win for NU. Michigan is definitely worse than the Cats.

March 8, 200521 yr QUOTE(3E8 @ Mar 7, 2005 -> 07:50 PM) Final: 1. Illinois over 6. Ohio State I'd kill for that matchup.
March 8, 200521 yr Way too much dap for Ohio State. Illinois just had a bad game, it's not that Ohio State is any good. Hell Minny and Wisconsin beat them at home this year. This is not a bash Illinois post, I'm just saying there is way too much dap in these predictions for Ohio State. Besides Illinois, they haven't beaten anyone.
March 8, 200521 yr QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Mar 7, 2005 -> 08:54 PM) I'd kill for that matchup. Yea, and it would be ugly, with Illinois winning by 20 or more. I'd say Illinois would beat them 99 out of 100 games without a problem.
March 8, 200521 yr I just think the big win will carry them deep. Thad proved last year he's a good coach in tournament style play.

March 8, 200521 yr QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Mar 7, 2005 -> 08:57 PM) IU That was one of the games where 4 freshmen started and Bracey didn't play. I'd sure hope they beat IU that game. I think if IU beats Minny they'll be in. Right now they are No. 1 in Last Four Out on Bracketology.
March 8, 200521 yr QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Mar 7, 2005 -> 09:01 PM) Haha I know, I was just sayin. What do ya think, IU beats Minny, in or out?
