March 17, 201313 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 17, 2013 -> 06:39 AM) Merry Christmas everyone! Not quite, Thursday tops today.
March 17, 201313 yr BTW, does Louisville have the midwest regional now instead of IU? Edited March 17, 201313 yr by IlliniKrush
March 17, 201313 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 16, 2013 -> 07:43 PM) Mac title game is off the hook Akron! My dad grew up in Akron and him and seems like most of his family went to college there so it was nice to see them overcome their PG being a moron.

My dad grew up in Akron and him and seems like most of his family went to college there so it was nice to see them overcome their PG being a moron. I have no clue what to think of them now. Loved them before Abreu got suspended then they looked awful for a few games and then they look great last night. Hopefully they play a tough 4 or 5 so I don't have to think about them too much ha.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Mar 17, 2013 -> 09:13 AM) BTW, does Louisville have the midwest regional now instead of IU? I would think so.
March 17, 201313 yr QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Mar 17, 2013 -> 09:13 AM) BTW, does Louisville have the midwest regional now instead of IU? NOT COOL. I would think the outright winner of the toughest conference in the country would get it, but nooooo. I meant to go back and look at Louisville's schedule to remind myself of any good wins/bad losses they had. In any case, it's not like being somewhere besides the Midwest regional is an excuse to do poorly. Step up.
March 17, 201313 yr Went back and looked it up. Only road win at Syracuse could touch IU's wins at Ohio State, at Michigan State and at Michigan. Louisville's best wins: Neutral court win over Missouri Home win over Marquette Road win at Syracuse Home win over Notre Dame Won Big East Tournament (includes neutral court wins over Notre Dame and Syracuse) Regardless, my last point from above still applies. Being in the Midwest is gravy, in no way is it an excuse to underperform.
March 17, 201313 yr BTW, does Louisville have the midwest regional now instead of IU? Lunardi says no, in which case I will have to stay off Facebook for a couple days with all the angry U of L fans in my news feed.
March 17, 201313 yr QUOTE (IowanSoxFan @ Mar 17, 2013 -> 11:40 AM) Being a No. 1 seed is overrated. Yes, but for the fans they care about having the local regions. That's not about the team, but about being able to go to games more easily.

Wrong, Lunardi has Louisville in the Midwest on his bracket.
March 17, 201313 yr Yeah, but Louisville's losses are pretty legit. Wrong, Lunardi has Louisville in the Midwest on his bracket. He's switched it in the past hour or so. Not sure why. Palm still has IU in the Midwest.
March 17, 201313 yr QUOTE (IowanSoxFan @ Mar 17, 2013 -> 11:40 AM) Being a No. 1 seed is overrated. The advantage of IU playing in Indianapolis is not overrated.
March 17, 201313 yr QUOTE (Heads22 @ Mar 17, 2013 -> 01:59 PM) SEC is finishing strong. It's so awful. I'm mad at Florida for losing to this team. Ole Miss isn't good.
March 17, 201313 yr QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 17, 2013 -> 02:08 PM) It's so awful. I'm mad at Florida for losing to this team. Ole Miss isn't good. I'd like to see how Marshall Henderson trolls in the the tourney anyways.
March 17, 201313 yr QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Mar 17, 2013 -> 12:44 PM) Yeah, but Louisville's losses are pretty legit. So are Indiana's, though. No bad losses, anyway. Doesn't really matter, we'll find out in 3 hours.
March 17, 201313 yr QUOTE (Heads22 @ Mar 17, 2013 -> 02:09 PM) I'd like to see how Marshall Henderson trolls in the the tourney anyways. Did you see what he said yesterday about wanting to make a run in the tourney so he could get his money? Awesome.
March 17, 201313 yr QUOTE (farmteam @ Mar 16, 2013 -> 12:03 PM) How good of a fit would Collins be at NW? Read on his wiki page he was the first ever player at Glenbrook North to play college basketball. Seems unlikely, even if it meant D-1 only. When his dad was coaching the Bulls, Brian Sloan played for Glenbrook North. He palyed at IU.
March 17, 201313 yr I wonder if that Ole Miss win oddly enough got them and MTSU in. I'm thinking MTSU and Lasalle are going to be your last two in. Tennessee out, Virginia out.
March 17, 201313 yr QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 17, 2013 -> 12:44 PM) I just put $50 on IU getting the #1 in the Midwest over Louisville. Nope, they got the East and a trip to Dayton in the first round.
March 17, 201313 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 17, 2013 -> 01:10 PM) The advantage of IU playing in Indianapolis is not overrated. Kentucky was sure scared to do so.
