Jenksismyhero Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 9 pt lead at half, with the game at 10-7 MINN nearly 10 minutes in. I'll take it. Tomorrow is going to be brutal for either one of these teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan99 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Illinois is going to suck next year unless the freshmen play well above their rankings. That is a really good class but none of those guys appear to be instant impact players. But the talent that will be left on the roster from Weber for next year is awful. Just absolutely dreadful.

I never really thought about it before, but he has zero seasons above .500 in conference and zero tournament wins (so far) at Minnesota. That's pretty embarrassing for a guy with his reputation.

caulfield12 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I wonder if an Iowa win against NW gets them in, with Minnesota now out? Seems the Gophers are usually in the Top 20 at some point in a season and completely fade out. Probably, Iowa would need to be MSU to seal it, a huge task. If they would have only beaten Nebraska on the road or not had a ball that was halfway down rim out against WI and then go on to lose in double OT, it would already be a done deal unless they somehow managed to lose to the Wildcats. It would be the first time in the NCAA's since 2006, when we lost to one of those direction Lousiana schools with an almost 20 point lead in the 2nd half and a 3 seed (Horner, Brunner, Haluska team, can't remember if Tyler Smith was also on it).

Jenksismyhero Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 w00t! Taking off tomorrow isn't a mistake after all. Still pretty sad that it takes a last second shot to beat a team that committed 19 or 20 turnovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Minny is so predictable. s*** they were top 10 at one point. With that home court advantage they really should finish better than they do every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw one of those "bracketologists" on TV the other day. He claimed not only would Iowa have to beat MSU, they would have to get to Sunday to get in. They were so close to being a really good team this season. I think they lost 5 conference games where they had the lead the last 2 minutes. Its one of the pitfalls of having a young team. They should be really good next year. Only losing May, and supposedly Uthoff has been their best player in practice, although that usually is the standard line for guys who aren't playing, and Jok seems to be a pretty good recruit. He was really highly thought of as an 8th grader. Supposedly Weber offered him a scholarship. Injured his knee, had surgery and really struggled. Apparently the surgery was botched up. Had another surgery and was really good this year. He lives in Des Moines but I think he's from the Sudan. Maybe he can be Loul Deng II.

Minnesota is not out and is still ridiculously far ahead of Iowa. A win against NW does absolutely nothing for Iowa other than give them a chance at a good win tomorrow. They have to beat MSU to even be considered for the tourney and I'm not sure that does it. They may need to make the finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minny is still in over Iowa, Iowa would need a huge run here and eve nthen Minny probably still makes the tourney and the BIG would have 8.

The conference could be pretty bad next year if a lot of the underclassmen that will be first round picks leave. You could conceivably have Oladipo, Zeller, Thomas, Harris, Payne and Burke all go pro (and it wouldn't be completely shocking if guys like Hardaway or Robinson III take a crack either) which would leave you without a single top tier team in the Big 10 for next year.

That is a really good class but none of those guys appear to be instant impact players. But the talent that will be left on the roster from Weber for next year is awful. Just absolutely dreadful. It's way too early to say that. Rice is going to be pretty big addition and I think Egwu is going to be a force next year. We also don't know about transfers (5th year seniors), how the freshmen will be, and other player progressions (Henry, Abrams, etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
