isu got screwed hard not making the NCAA

 

and Butler (ranked #10 in the nation) got screwed ever harder with a #7 seed against a team in their home state.

Home game vs. Oklahoma State!!! Justin is waiting in line as we speak.

Mullins is officially done for the year. This game is going to be ridiculously gross. I'm going to watch just for the humor.

Whatcha mean? Bone and Green will put up 20 a game and carry us to MSG!

Eh, we play Akron then either Mass or some other small school. Ultimately, if we go on far enough we'll get killed by Syracuse.

Great coverage by the selection show there, they talked about the Gophers for a whole of 2 seconds. We'll probably be able to hold off Maryland (especially since this is a home game, right?), but Syracuse will likely kick our ass in the second.

Maryland's going to pound Minnesota.

Not if they play like they have lately. It'll be interesting, that's for sure.

 

(also, I reserve the right to be a homer in this regard, it's postseason basketball... after last years debacle, it's pretty exciting to be in any tournament, even if it isn't the NCAAs)

SWEET, Texas Tech with a 16-15 record and 7-9 record in the Big 12 and can't even get an invite to the NIT or the CBI. LOL.

I've heard that most of the major conferences (including the Big 12) are boycotting the CBI.

Yes, the Big 12 is boycotting the CBI. But the ACC is boycotting it as well and Virginia accepted a bid anyways.

I'm sure that VA's president will be getting a phone call on Monday from the conference commissioner.

I see no reason to boycott the CBI. Gazelle is a fine organization, they run the CBE, Coaches versus Cancer, and the Legends Classic. In the very least, it's an excuse to practice a couple extra days or weeks.

Maybe the NIT was pressuring them.

Its too bad it is getting boycotted. there are a lot of seniors out there that want just one more game.

I've heard that you have to pay 60k to get in, and that's why conferences are boycotting them.

I think it is 60k to host a game.

I'm playing basketball tonight at Williams Arena, the night before the Gophers/Terps play there in the first round of the NIT. Kick ass.

Ohio St - UNC Asheville is on at 7 tonight on one o fthe ESPNs. I'll be tuning in to see 7'8" Kenny George play there.

Gophers/Maryland tonight.. 8:30 on ESPN. I'll be in attendance
