Obviously we're all diehard IU fans here, but do any of you have a few of those other teams that you just find yourselves rooting for?

Over the last few years San Diego State has been one of those teams for me. I like Steve Fisher a lot and this team in particular is REALLY good. Looking good so far against AZ. Hope they can pull it off!

 

Yes, I had actually been following Stephen F. Austin for the past two years. Glad they won a game and captured everyone's attention this year.

Sorta, but for me it's usually when I find a player that I like and want to see him be successful b

Glad UCLA lost. Now the Alford groupies will shut up for awhile.

Gottlieb just ripped on Crean. He was talking about the Dayton game and Archie Miller's game plan against the zone. He brought up the Syracuse IU game from last year and how they struggled against the zone and pointed out that Archie Miller is "much younger" than Crean.

I root for the Big Ten normally. I'm thinking it could be a 75% Big Ten Final four

Yeah I do too. I'm hoping all 3 teams at least get to the Elite 8. MSU has the toughest challenge but I think they'll all pull it off. Wiscy could give Zona fits. I actually enjoy watching this Wisconsin team. They don't have as many ogres and gingers this year.

Whoa... Gottlieb just put down Crean

Not to defend Crean, but Dayton only scored 55 points. They won because Syracuse couldn't throw it in the ocean. 

 

 

That said, stuff like this eventually reaches Crean, right? Criticisms and insults eventually have to sink in and prompt some sort of change, right? Right?!

Yeah, Gottlieb is an idiot.  We looked utterly clueless against that zone, but Dayton didn't do so well either.

 

On the second point, he might hear the criticisms but he just passes off blame to someone else.  He'll say "the bench was too quiet" or something of the sort.

Gottlieb is a Indiana hater period. Prob stems from getting booted out of ND for being a thief. #jerk

Man sometimes I'd like to see and "analyst" try to coach a team. They think everything is so easy for these college coaches. They don't know what goes on behind the scenes.

I can't stand Gottlieb either, but he was talking about Dayton's gameplan against the Stanford zone after having a week to prepare and comparing it to IU's gameplan against Cuse last year with a week to prepare.

Syracuse's zone last year was definitely a lot tougher than this years Stanford team though.

My revised Elite 8:

 

1. Florida-NICE

2. Stanford-IDIOT

3. MSU

4. UCONN

5. SDSU-IDIOT

6. Baylor-IDIOT

7. Ville

8. Tennessee

Predictions for tonight's games???

I like Michigan, Iowa State, Louisville, and Michigan State.

MSU v UVA will be game of the night, but ISU v UConn is the hardest to pick with Niang out and Napier's ability to take over a game.

Exact same as you. I need to keep my Final Four intact, also I really want to see the Big Ten do well. 

[TheWatShot 13,622]

Is there some reason people want the Big Ten to do well? Personally I'd rather not give Indiana high school recruits any more reasons to head north.

Honestly I don't mind most of them. Actually enjoy most of them, outside of Purdue, Illinois, and Wisconsin (most of the time).

This drives me nucking futs. Looks like wisconsin and michigan are going to make it to the elite 8 and we beat them both once.
