March 17, 201412 yr Illinois a 2. Would like their chances better if they had some home games. Oh well. Indiana not invited. Ouch. Quite the fall in one season.
March 17, 201412 yr Genuinely excited to watch us play more basketball, and get guys more PT. Tough road with all road games, but let's take a shot.

March 17, 201412 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 17, 2014 -> 05:46 AM) Why not try hosting in Bloomington or AllState? I don't think State Farm would approve of the All State idea. I think they should host at Huff Hall, nice cozy atmosphere.
March 17, 201412 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 17, 2014 -> 05:46 AM) Why not try hosting in Bloomington or AllState? They tried Bloomongtin in the past but the NCAA denied the request. Not sure why Huff wouldn't work. What's the capacity there?
March 17, 201412 yr Huff holds like 5k. I think I read recently it was fitted only for volleyball games or something
March 18, 201412 yr I'll be at the game at BU. Agganis is a nice arena (though I've only seen hockey games there). 5th row, center court for $18. Oh, and they were somehow grandfathered in to sell beer. I-L-L.
March 18, 201412 yr Illinois is somehow only -1.5. I realize it's a road game, but that still seems like a gift.
March 19, 201412 yr Rice looks like he couldn't care less. There we go. This team has no size. He should be unguardable. Edited March 19, 201412 yr by Boogua
March 20, 201412 yr QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 19, 2014 -> 07:22 PM) Lol, a lock and a 7 seed or better indeed. Lol, had no idea this game counted towards next season. Damn.
March 20, 201412 yr Wow, thought there should've been a foul but replay shows he lost his balance. Good no whistle.
March 20, 201412 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 20, 2014 -> 02:01 AM) Wow, thought there should've been a foul but replay shows he lost his balance. Good no whistle. BU played quite the awful last 5 minutes there. It was funny seeing their pg try to pump up their crowd at the end, and it didn't look like anyone in the stands even reacted.

March 20, 201412 yr I - L - L !!! Normally I can't watch a meaningless tournament, but I joined a NIT pool and picked the Illini to win a Braggin Rights final, so keep it up boys!

March 20, 201412 yr QUOTE (Boogua @ Mar 19, 2014 -> 07:35 PM) Lol, had no idea this game counted towards next season. Damn. I love how you conveniently ignore that the starting 5 will most likely be the same next year.
March 20, 201412 yr QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 19, 2014 -> 08:40 PM) I love how you conveniently ignore that the starting 5 will most likely be the same next year. I love you conveniently ignore that it's a meaningless tournament on 3 nights notice on the road in a small venue versus a team who treats it like the NCAA championship while next season is 7 months away. Yes, that's a run-on sentence, but you get my point.
March 20, 201412 yr What a comeback win, way to battle gentlemen. Why is everyone so quick to give up and mock them? QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 19, 2014 -> 08:20 PM) I would totally be up for putting the trophy on the line if that happened. Yeah, let's risk a trophy we already have. Makes sense. QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 19, 2014 -> 08:40 PM) I love how you conveniently ignore that the starting 5 will most likely be the same next year. Starting 5 with improvement, too. And look at what that starting 5 has accomplished since they've been assembled. That's not a different team than the one in January? What were we missing this year? Shooting? Add Cosby Depth that aren't true freshmen? Add Paul and Starks Better inside presence/rebounding? Add Black I don't see how we're not significantly better next year.
