March 10, 200620 yr QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Mar 10, 2006 -> 04:54 PM) Yeah it appears Gullickson had a really nice game though, and Ill take the loss if it means come tournament time Gullickson is a viable player. Ray Nixon though shot terribly, from the ESPN updates I think the only shot he made was a dunk, lol. Anyways with a bunch of other good teams losing in their tournaments, the loss doesnt hurt that bad. Guessing Wisconsin can be anywhere from a 5 to 8 seed. More likely in the 7-10 range. Their resume doesn't matchup to well with most of the seeds in the 4-6 range, and they've lost 5 of their last 11. They have a few decent wins, but they haven't done a whole lot since early January.
March 10, 200620 yr The difference between 5-8 and 7-10 is 8 teams. It just all depends on how everything shakes down, if the Big 10 is getting high seeds, then Wisconsin may get a higher seed. If the Big is getting lower seeds then Wisconsin could be on the low end. Its all kind of dependent, if OSU is 1, Illini a 2, I would think most of the Big 10 seeds are going to be pretty good. On the other hand if OSU is a 2, Illini a 3, I would think the Big 10 are going to get lower seeds. In all actuality, once you go down below a 4 or 5 seed, dropping seed wise is not that bad unless your going to have to play a 1-4 seed in the first round.

How high of a seed could Indiana get should they beat Ohio State? Could they get as high as a 6? Where do you think they are now?

Anyways with a bunch of other good teams losing in their tournaments, the loss doesnt hurt that bad. Guessing Wisconsin can be anywhere from a 5 to 8 seed. Gullickson was what saved Wisconsin in the first half. IU was up 10-2 and, while not playing great offensively, he gave Wisky a huge spark and led them on a 17-0 run. The intensity of the two teams seemed to flip-flop when he came into the game. IU picked the intensity back up to open the 2nd half and never really let it get away, despite Tucker trying to almost singlehandedly beat them.

Where do you think they are now? I just want to move out of the 8-9 position they have us at in Bracketology. I'm not expecting a BTT trophy this weekend, but we do have the opportunity to move up from our 8 spot.
March 11, 200620 yr Looks like a nice run for Minny with time running down in the half. I don't get it on TV here , so I'm just watching NCAASports.com's gamecast.
March 11, 200620 yr We don't get it either. This no national tv stuff for the final 2 quarterfinal games every year is bulls***.
March 11, 200620 yr I would like to see Minnesota win this game tonight. My picks for the semis....MSU vs. Minnesota...final...OSU vs. MSU.....MSU wins
March 11, 200620 yr I would say if Indiana wins the Big 10 tournament, you could see a 6. Beating Wisconsin, OSU, and potentially Illinois would warrant being a top 25 team.
March 11, 200620 yr Am I realistic in thinking that if Minnesota makes it to the finals and lose (extremely unlikely, but if it happens by some remote sequence of events), they would make a strong case for an NCAA bid? Or was the start of their Big 10 schedule too dismal to overcome?
March 11, 200620 yr I one time remember them saying the Big 10 final was after the selections were in. I would say if Minnesota beats Illinios I would be disapointed as a Minnesota fan if they did not make it. Ive always thought the Gophers are a tough team, especially with the press and if Grier is going.
March 11, 200620 yr Minnesota has 13 offensive rebounds and 10 defensive. By comparison, Iowa has 4 offensive and 12 defensive rebounds.
March 11, 200620 yr That dunk by Grier is a strong candidate for dunk of the year. That and the Randle dunk on Marco....wow. He's having a pretty good game overall too.... Edited March 11, 200620 yr by whitesoxfan101

They better have it on Sportscenter or something.. Also, nice little run here for Minny, up by 4 according to GameCenter.

I honestly don't really care who wins this game, these 2 teams scare me equally, but that dunk had me going crazy.

March 11, 200620 yr Super weird. I have the Minnesota game here in Birmingham, but not the UAB game in the CUSA Tournament. Not sure how to figure that one out??
