Are we rooting for Purdue or OSU tonight?
1/5 Games

Good question. At first I was thinking OSU as it would make our win look better, but at the same time OSU may be a bubble team competing with us for a tournament spot.
Purdue. OSU win will be good regardless but we don't want more bubble teams. Also I don't want Indiana thinking they can get back in front Saturday.
Rooting for Nebraska and gophers
I'm currently watching the Iowa/Nebraska game. I'm aware of the Watson Jr and Morrow situation, but I'm curious about Roby and Moss. Especially Moss, as he was at Simeon. Man, he is a good player. Were we not after him because we were already focused on DJW? Seeing all of these Illinois kids being successful at another program is a bit depressing. I know I'm not alone there! Thanks guys!

Our man Cuonzo is getting turned over pretty good at UCLA. Tough game, but still.
KBD done for the season, tough loss for Ohio St.
I'm sitting here flipping between NW/Minny and Nebby/Iowa, and we're better than all four of these teams. More talent without question.

I watched Roby play twice last year for Dixon. To be honest, I'm surprised he is playing so much at Nebraska right now. He was impressive, but he was playing against schools not comparable to Simeon and players three times smaller than him, so I think that's why Illinois probably stayed away (I'm not sure what he did in Travel). Dixon switched conferences a couple years ago, but Dixon originally played in the Northern Illinois Big 12, which also holds Sterling High school, home of old friend Joe Bertrand.
Not sure on Minny, they are pretty good. Really defend and are physical. We do probably have more depth.
Jok on fire in 2nd half. Just can't pull the trigger to root for Iowa.
Not one of the better coaching jobs tonight.
Not a good job there Iowa.

Oh, and Nebby hands it right back.
Huskers 8/19 at the line tonight, including missing 2 with a second to go. :doh: About to go to OT.
I appreciate your reply and info. Thank you. I have a friend here in my hometown that went to high school at Sterling with Bertrand.
I actually think we would rather have Iowa win for our sake this season.
Iowa shows how not to run the 4-on-1 fast break.
