RIP, State
« on: March 17, 2003, 12:58:00 PM »
Sorry RHP, your Buckeyes ran out of gas, but what a run they had, winning three out of four in four days. Illinois does have a better team than Wisconsin this year. If not for an end of the half gift to MSU against the Illini*, there would have been, could have been, a tie at the top.

Which team in each conference will go the farthest? I'm picking my Illini from the Big Ten-11, and my son's Mizzou Tigers from the Big 12. No bias there, nope. (Roy Williams is right, Kansas got the shaft on the seedings. What a tough conference!)

*The replays clearly showed the half-court shot was released after the buzzer went off, red light came on.

Gregg ...yes they (Buckeyes) ran out of gas for sure. I think your right...the Illini...may go the farthest in the Big Dance. They are a tough team.
Good Luck to them...I will be rooting for them as I would like to see a Big Ten team take all the marbles.

Good Luck Illinois!

The Big Ten-11 has been more competitive in the NCAAs since starting its own conference tournament. Last year, Wisconsin went to the Final Four. There's quite a stir up here in Cheeseland, with three state teams receiving bids. Of course, if UW-Milwaukee wins, they play the winner of W. Kentucky vs. .... Illinois! I've got no problem deciding who to root for.

Oskee-Wow-Wow! (any other alums out there, feel free to correct my spelling)

Bruce Pearl was a Tom Davis assistant coach for fourteen years.  

Another former Davis assistant was Gary Williams of Maryland.

Yep. Thought it was close enough that RHP would take the bait. Should have put "Ohio" in there.

Testing a new avatar. Didn't change old posts. I hope it changes with a new one, the "Big Dance" is underway...

Having nephews who went to MSU, I'm hoping they will make it to the Final Four. Also, Central Michigan, but that is such a tough division.

Does anyone understand those regional placements? How do two teams from Michigan get into the South and West regions?

Makes no difference where you come from to where you go.  

The selections this year have been more criticized than most years.

I have never seen anything like the West Bracket this year.

Way too tough.

Not to mention the BYU fiasco.

Well, CMU has proven to be a rock solid team, a good mix of players whose chemistry has cemented... ok, enough beating around the bush, CMU also stands for Concrete Masonry Unit (concrete block)  

So far, a 4 a 6 a 7 and an 8 have lost - and that's just the first full day. More tonight, perhaps?

Lots of close calls with the high seeds.  

With all the best players going to the Pros early there isn't a sure thing any more.

Looking forward to the Second Round games.

There's been a lot of great games.  

So far, one of the better Tournaments.

As always. A 12 beat a 5.
