I don't think Minnesota is winning this

3/8/2012 6:11:23 PM

no way dude!

I bleed red (with shades of purple and maroon and gold)

let's face it -- State's season shouldn't have come down to us having to root against an 18-12 team in order to get in

3/8/2012 6:12:29 PM

no but it has

and you should

3/8/2012 6:13:01 PM

i can't root against my Mater Alma Mater

3/8/2012 6:14:38 PM

yup, thats definitely more important than your alma mater

3/8/2012 6:16:24 PM

why can't we agree to root against Drexel, Oregon, Texas, Xavier, Tennessee, etc

3/8/2012 6:19:25 PM

we kinda need texas to win at least one...maybe two


rather them win than northwestern

also drexel doesnt play anymore

3/8/2012 6:21:24 PM

so, rooting against them worked!

Northwestern should be covering the tournament, not participating in it. It is a conflict of interests and thus they must lose.

3/8/2012 6:39:01 PM

this shit is becoming a whistlefest

3/8/2012 6:40:42 PM

This is the only Northwestern game ive watched, but it seems as if they play a very physical and aggressive defense. Looks like a team that draws a lot of fouls and prob fouls players out a good bit.

the point is that when you scout uconn you immediately realize that they're not running a system. i've never scouted uconn, nor would i even be capable of doing such a thing really, but i take the word of anyone that has played or coached against uconn pretty easily.

the point is not to say "not uh, look at the rankings, they're not always chock full of talent!"

it's also not a personal attack on jim calhoun, rest easy.

3/8/2012 6:53:07 PM

If they had Cobb all season, they'd be a 25 win team

3/8/2012 6:55:24 PM

Poor Minnesota, trying to stay in it even though they are turrible and getting absolutely fucked with fouls

3/8/2012 7:01:44 PM

where was the fucking? i had to grab a beer and i must have missed it

3/8/2012 7:04:07 PM

holy fuck Louisville....those jerseys are BRIGHT

I thought my TV colour was messed up.

Meanwhile, UCLA needs to get it together. Maybe Reeves Nelson can rush the court and stomp some people.

3/8/2012 7:07:09 PM

How would Northwestern be a 25 win team with Cobb when they are struggling vs the 10 seed in the Big 10+2?

3/8/2012 7:15:58 PM

how did that not go in?!?!?

3/8/2012 7:18:19 PM

anti nc state shit is afoot



So it has been willed that state makes the tourny

3/8/2012 7:18:46 PM

goddamn it minnesota

3/8/2012 7:20:03 PM

Go Sota

3/8/2012 7:21:57 PM

Drew Crawford hasn't done shit this game

he can kiss my ass

3/8/2012 7:23:17 PM

oh wow they finally called a foul on northwestern

3/8/2012 7:28:48 PM

dude shoved the fuck out of Shurna on that steal

3/8/2012 7:30:10 PM

ITS LOOKING GOOD

3/8/2012 7:34:55 PM

i'd feel bad for northwestern if i didn't personally need them off of the bubble.

3/8/2012 7:35:40 PM

Running out of feet to shoot themselves in

3/8/2012 7:36:20 PM

sympathy might get you in the field on bracketology, but playing like ass all year aint gonna get you in the field fo realz

3/8/2012 7:36:24 PM

WOOT

3/8/2012 7:36:40 PM

Pitino is pissed at Hess!

3/8/2012 7:37:27 PM

Crazy to watch NC State shit happen to someone else. Tough loss for northwestern.

3/8/2012 7:38:17 PM

that blows

well, the NU vs State NIT finals game should be EPIC

3/8/2012 7:39:25 PM

you go to hell and you die

3/8/2012 7:41:53 PM

and we leap Northwestern in the RPI, woot!

3/8/2012 7:42:04 PM

no we havent

northwestern went from 43 to 47

" Smith wasn't the only soon-to-be high profile name on Pitino's coaching staff at Kentucky. Future head coaches Ralph Willard, Herb Sendek, Billy Donovan, and Bernadette Locke-Mattox were all Smith's colleagues.[16]"

I was doing some light reading about Tubby Smith in light of the NW/Minnesota game and discovered this interesting tidbit.


[Edited on March 8, 2012 at 7:48 PM. Reason : ^ where do you see that? Twista's rpiforecast.com has northwestern falling to 55.]

3/8/2012 7:44:01 PM

yep, and we're back up to 52 as well

^^^^ was that news to you?

3/8/2012 7:51:52 PM

dunno honestly whats more accurate between ^^^ and http://www.rpiforecast.com/live-rpi.html

looks like i have a new site to check every 10 minutes, THANKS A LOT

3/8/2012 7:52:30 PM

How many games does Miami need to win to make it to the tourney? Just 1? Or two?

3/8/2012 7:52:56 PM

^^^ was America news to Columbus when he discovered it? What a dumb fucking question.

[Edited on March 8, 2012 at 7:53 PM. Reason : .]

3/8/2012 7:53:35 PM

youre right, when I checked they had only moved down to 47


awesome

3/8/2012 7:53:47 PM

^^^tv talking heads say 1, which i don't buy

honestly it depends on what other teams do, and what we do

3/8/2012 7:53:49 PM

They are a clone of us for all intents and purposes.

3/8/2012 7:54:11 PM

^^I heard 1 as well, and was questioning that.
