Week of 2/10 Games & News Thread

The only thing I want from this season is for Bruce Pearl to not win a national title. It's sad, but that's where this season has gone since January 2nd.

I really don't want to feel like I have to swallow any sort of morals to want Chris Beard at Illinois, and Bruce Pearl winning a national title before Illinois would push me over that edge.

So do we root for Ohio today because misery loves company and it sets up MState the regular season title? Then maybe izzo retires?

 

[Old Farm Illini]

Memphis with a quad 3 loss. Had about a 4pt lead in regulation and OT but couldn’t close it out. That’s their third quad 3 loss of the season and their NET was already 44.. Honestly, we have hope for a pretty decent seed because a lot of tourney teams have some baffling losses. We’re not alone.

Hunter Dickinson got upset by Utah yesterday so there's that at least. Lol.

Didn't know Seton Hall was 1-12 in conference before the upset.

Didn't know Seton Hall was 1-12 in conference before the upset.

And had lost 9 straight and 14 of 15 coming into the game against the greatest coach in the f'ing sport.

Rick Pitino is probably the best coach I've ever seen. I've watched his teams going back to '87, and they consistently play hard, disciplined ball. St. John's is not super talented, but sure enough they are probably going to win the Big East after today's win against Creighton

Super tough and physical goes a long way.

Oregon and Rutgers have both hit more 3s in the last 2 minutes than illinois did this week

Nebraska beats Northwestern. What a turnaround Fred has done with the team this season. They were completely out of the tournament not too long ago and now they are going to be in I think (maybe as the last 4 in).
