Eddie Jordan was fired by Rutgers today.  He gone!

  That Maui Invite man!  Instead of facing St. John's (RPI 237) we could have matched up with Vanderbilt (RPI 51) and then either UCLA (RPI 101) or Kansas (RPI 1).  Losing the first game to Wake screwed our RPI/SOS in the non-con but I also truly believe it made IU better.

  I was just going to ask this.  Do you know if it's in the same location?   Edit:  The boathouse was completed in late October of last year.  Looks pretty nice!  Link

  That's bold!

Tubby crashes in March.  They'll be sweating until Sunday.  He had a good year in Lubbock. 

  I'm in it to win it!   USC is clowning on UCLA 77-55 with 8:50 to go.

USC just had a 7 point possession against UCLA...  And the great Bill Walton called it!!

  You think Ohio State finally loses to a B1G team below them in the standings? 

WTH is UCLA wearing?  They look like volleyball uniforms. 

Holy Cross gets it done.  Bill Carmody goes dancing!!

  Yes?

  We had Etherington to replace Sheehey! 

2 for 2 for 10 members, not bad.  Onto the next round!

The BTT starts tomorrow at BLF.  Vote for who wins these first round matchups.  (if the poll actuall works)  Who do you have winning the first round games and why?   13.  Minnesota vs. 12. Illinois   14.  Rutgers vs. 11. Nebraska   I'll try to do one for each round of the BTT and see how well we do overall as a site. 

  MSU has some incredible depth. 

Switch threads, rinse and repeat!

  I would be good with an "upper" and "lower" division within the B1G.  You play doubles against the other 6 in your division and then once against the other 7.  Bottom two teams in the "upper" division are relegated to the lower division if they don't have a .500 or better record. 

Nebraskaball just had a 5 minute possession where they missed 37 shots but got 36 offensive rebounds.  Good job Rutgers!

And honestly NC State beating Duke in the ACC tourney?  Not likely.

  Implementing IU's defense at Cameron earlier in the season.

  2015:  Wiscy - 1 seed 2012:  MSU (shared) - 1 seed 2011:  OSU - 1 see 2010:  OSU (shared) - 2 seed 2008:  Wiscy - 3 seed 2007:  OSU - 1 seed 2005:  Ill - 1 seed

I don't wish for any player to be "Creaned" but if he decides to go elsewhere to play or needs more time for the ladies I'm cool with that. 

I can see a "worst case" scenario where IU beats the lowest seeds possible and struggles to get a 2 seed.  That would include others in front of IU holding serve in their respective tourneys.  It would be extremely difficult to keep the B1G regular season and tourney champ off the 2 line though.

  Edit:  See Bracketology/NCAA positioning thread

Interesting read on foreign trips and pay for play... (Hint: UL and Minny both involved) http://on.si.com/1QLXC7V
