IU will not be UK.... from recent we need to emulate MSU and UCONN. Just my two cents ....

You need a mixture of long athletic players with high IQ glue guys. Of course, I would always rate skill as the highest priority. Too much is given to off the bus eye test... I'm all for how they perform on the court. I'm a fan of court eye test...

OG is a big key going forward. He's the X factor.

if you need another player, I'll play. I prefer ppr leagues.

Roy - said "we didn't play very smart the last 3 min". The reply should have been " well Roy, maybe they should go to class"

They played out of their mind and are only up by 11. I think we have a chance.

I'm surprised the cops are not at my front door.

Kenny is a clown. In his break down of the cheaters PG, he called out a play that was guarded by OG and it was clearly Morgan. We played like shit and we're up by 1. Let's go.

I like the seed. It put the chip right back on this team shoulder and they seem to play better with a chip.

What upset me about MICh was the only way we get the L is a bad performance by us. I could see us playing well and loosing to Purdue or Mich ST, because of match up. Michigan match up for us is a wet dream.

I would change non-conf to a c and BTT to an F. At this point, NCAA will tell the story for this year. I think they go on a run, but nothing really surprises or upsets me anymore.

I've been playing the IU fight song "loud" in a loop for the last hour and my wife just left mumbling "you're a child and I'll be back around 7".....'hmmmm' I'll fix that later...  GO IU! I'm a little amp up for this one ...    edit: my 10 year old daughter is already in her candy stripes, so I'm doing something right....

Play Yogi and OG 20 min in the 2nd half and we win by 10.

I'm not sure who's the female tv announcer, but I like her. She's easy to listen to and she seems to have some good knowledge.

LOL

I think the Iona game might be fun to watch.

I'm sure I just gave them the kiss of death.

Valpo looks solid ...

  Valid point about pace of play....   I do think the big12 looks good so far this year and a lot of their teams will be prepared for the tournament.

I'll take the big 12 this year, but yes they could burn out like they did last year. I hope that's the case again this year, but the competition level in the big 12 seems to be better than any other league this year.  I could be wrong... would not be the first time ...    I do agree OLK and Iowa St pace of play suits us better than a slow down grind out vs some other teams.

We need to stay away from the big 12 teams early in the tournament. The level of the big 12 this year is really good ....

  yep, unless it's in the final four....

I've lost any kind of respect I 'might' have had for Ricky Pitino. He's crying about the system and he should be out of a job. The fact U of L is allowing this guy to be their mouth piece speaks volumes for that University. I don't have much respect for much that comes out of Kentucky in regards to big time college basketball.

    LOL - I thought the same thing... If we were caught to this degree, I'm guessing the NCAA would have tried to vacate the 76 championship. LOL.

Buddy is so clutch ...wow
