And the other sad thing is that this is basically a home game. There are about 8 OSU fans here and the place has gone nuts every time we made a run.

I’m at the game and have pretty good seats. Not sure I could be less impressed with Romeo. Stupid plays and jogging up and down the court.

UNCG lost to Wofford on Monday.

Cool bro. Good thing you’re not on the committee

I don’t see how they can put Clemson in with only one quad 1 win. Isn’t that similar logic as to why Nebraska was left out last year?

Fair explanation. And my post below is in no way directed at you. I think it’s a stupid way for them to be looking at it for two reasons: 1) The new emphasis on wins by quad 2) The fact that 68 teams now get in instead of 64 Both of these things should make bracketologists question their old rules of thumb.

That’s part of it but from my perspective it’s not that simple.

That’s awesome. Where did you buy them from? Going to work out really well for me to go Thursday.

Thanks and follow-up question! Is the opponent's position within the NET rankings at the time you play them or where they sit at the end of the year what matters for quad classification?

Sorry if it's already in here somewhere, but what ranking system determines whether a win is a quad 1, 2 etc.? e.g., top 75 win according to what? (RPI, NET, something else?)

No I perfectly well understood your point, Illinois is going to come ready to play because they view this game as their super bowl (or insert favorite cliche). But we are playing for a spot in the tourney and they are not, so we better come more ready to play than they are. I guess I don't understand the necessity of pointing out the Illini's readiness if you expect IU to be equally or more ready to play. I have a feeling this discussion isn't going to go anywhere as we both have a defensible point of view, so I will leave it at that.

We are playing for a spot in the tourney, I couldn't care less how Illinois views it. We better show up ready to play.

And by the look of him, that guy has been around for a long, long time!

Not happy we lost but god damn that was a fun game to watch!! Smith should never play again.

Nope. They've just opposed what the NBA has historically wanted in exchange. Like increased access to medical records ahead of the draft.

That move at the 38 second mark! His defender just looked defeated.

OK bye. If Kentucky was playing against the University of ISIS, I'd root for U of ISIS.

I'm sorry but I can't make myself care about this statement at all. If this was true Kentucky would never sign a recruit.

You do realize that your opponent then gets another 10 possessions as well right? That statement in and of itself doesn't make any sense. All you can do is put yourself in a position to win year in and year out. If Virginia continues to do that, they will eventually break through.

I'm sure some people will say this is reading too much into social media, but after the MSU game Romeo posted a pic of himself fired up during the game. Justin Smith's comment was "Emotion. Nice" Just seemed like a strange comment to me.

Looks like Crean is going to land Anthony Edwards. If that happens, I'm not sure I'd be confident that IU is better than Georgia next year.

Not sure I’d call this a verified source, but I’ll take it.

Likely the MSU game didn't matter as far as this goes, but I feel so much better about a Brooks commit now.

They would get next to nothing for Ntilinka and Mudiay.

I’m sorry but fans are not at practice or in the huddle. On top of that, IU just gave Tom Crean 9 years so it’s not like this is some sort of revolving door. If you want to call the fans annoying and unrealistic then fine, but I think it’s a real stretch to say they are having a material negative impact on the program. I certainly don't think IU fans were the problem when there were just as many IU fans at the Northwestern game in Evanston as there were Northwestern fans.
