Iowa-Ohio State has been postponed for inclement weather.

Arizona-UCLA 2 is the highlight of tonight's action, and is pretty much a must-win for Arizona if they hold any hopes of landing a 1 seed in the NCAA tourney, as they currently only have one Q1 victory (perhaps you remember it), and with no date for their postponed game at USC scheduled, this could be their last Q1 game of the season

Too lazy to look....is it really worse in Columbus than it was Champaign and all the interstates leading to Champaign last night?? Really? Props again to every Illinois fan and student who made it to SFC last night. You guys sounded awesome on TV.

I think the primary difference is that Wisconsin (and the officials) were able to get out to Champaign before the weather hit, while Iowa did not have the ability to do that, so they can't get to the game at this point.

Totally makes sense that Iowa can't make it to Ohio in this weather. Still a bummer though.

It's not only snow... it's ice, too. Freezing rain and ice overnight followed by lots of snow today. Many flights cancelled. Plus, the Squawks' plane had mechanical trouble in Iowa before departing; by the time it was fixed the weather prevented them from flying to Cols.

trying to make up a means of transportation joke leveraging the steam coming out of Fran's angry head, but can't come up with a punchline. or the setup.

It is amazing to watch a pac 10 game and see the difference in the way the game is officiated. The pac 10 refs don't let them beat each other up. Much less contact allowed at every position.

Which is often how the NCAA is called. My biggest beef with b10 officiating is you have to build a team to compete in a regular season brawl, but then are expected to play finesse as soon as the seasons over. Tough to adjust and hurts the conference’s tourney results most years.

Only one title in the last 32 years is ... statistically significant.

I have now watched Arizona in five or six games, including at our home loss to them..
And boy, I dislike Kriisa more and more every time. Like a shorter, euro-Mulxahy... Headband, flops and all.

For some reason, I missed a lot of the Arizona game and can't remember why. I tuned in on this UCLA game at the start of the second half and could not believe the Cats were up by 12 as they played like Minnesota and threw up bricks all night. The team I saw tonight is very beatable by the Illini....but Kofi will not dominate. Illini would have to play inside out and beat them at the perimeter game. Funny how a team can be so Jekyl and Hyde, but most of them are. Sure like the way the Illini are slowly progressing in efficiency and so many guys playing, contributing and getting better. Pretty much what we have seen from Underwood's teams every year. Just keep chopping wood.

Virtually every team is.

Oh and we didn't have Curbelo for the Arizona game.
