Getting things started nice and early. I like that we play early because then I won't be wasting my time. We lose and nothing else matters. We win and a lot of games become very interesting.

Jkat00 · Mar 9, 2017

Forgot to add the * for most important.

* Really need Vandy, KSU, Cal, & Iowa to lose. IMO losses by Vandy & Kansas State will for sure put them on the outside. IF Cal gets a win + 1 more Friday they could be back in. Iowa winning 2 games ( IU, Wisconsin) could be enough to get them in if other teams on the bubble lose.

Please shut down or delete this thread if Illinois loses to Michigan.

That game really doesn't matter, both teams are in. Though I'd agree Seton Hall's resume is less impressive.

Should be fun.

Not relevant, but noticed Villanova doubling up St. Johns 66-33 in second half. Marcus Lovett leading scorer on St. John's with 10.

Watching Q Snyder have a great game against Duke right now. Not super fun.

You're locking in an 8 point lead for a Weber team with 3:30 left as a win? What therapist have you been seeing to get past 2007-2012?

I'll tell you what looks different. It looks like they're putting the pedal down while up, not coasting it in.

Baylor is (should be) the superior team. But maybe KSU will pull it off.

SycIllini · Mar 9, 2017

KSU holds on.

I think BAM is a decent coach. He can coach and knows the game. Makes decisions that drove us crazy and not the greatest recruiter. If we could combine Groce with Weber for recruiting & coaching it wouldn't have been all bad. We got the bad half with each however, ugh
