Yeah...I knew he has a thing for fly fishing and the NW.  I fully understand why he's stayed where he is.  As you've said many times before...not everyone is motivated by obtaining more $$$.

He's got the perfect gig in my opinion.  and now finally, he can recruit top guys vs the international route.  He has it made.  Surprised the zags haven't bumped him up in pay some.  He certainly deserves it, and maybe doesn't even want it.  

Zags are normally my favorite team to root for not named Indiana.  I really wanted them to get an L in regular so I could pull for them in the NCAAs

What I really like about Gonzaga is you seldom see players not moving or just standing while dribbling like they don't know what to do next.  This team has great awareness and vision... and game management/understanding.

Gonzaga very beatable.  OK, the 7th place team in their conference.  Just need someone to get hot against them.  

[Defenserocks28]

Refs with some really questionable calls the past few minutes.  A charge called a block and an obvious foul on a lay-up.  When did Gonzaga turn into Duke.

They are hugely benefiting from a complete dumpter fire of a game from Oklahoma’s Manek, who I thought was supposed to be pretty good. Kruger should have sat him midway through the first half and kept him there.

Not to mention that block they called when Suggs threw his elbow into a defender’s jaw. It’s been a one sided affair all day

The thunderous applause of the first unseated season for the first time since 1976 :(

Oh, for sure, they can be beaten.  I would love to see them play Michigan, especially if Livers was playing.  Even without Livers, could be a good game.

I'm curious if anyone knows the record for the number of teams a conference gets to the tournament while failing to get any into the Sweet 16?

The B1G is down to 2 teams left with a chance. UM is down 7 (early) to LSU and are missing Livers so they may get knocked out. The other team left is Maryland going against Alabama.

So if these 2 lose the B1G will have failed to get any of the 9 teams to the Sweet 16. That would have to be a record if it happens. I just wonder how much of one it would be.

I believe it was a conference record 9 teams. And I hope it happens.

I wonder if that type of showing would finally get the Big10 to make an adjustment to their style of play. I saw the commissioner is a former Grand Canyon bball player so he has a hoops background. I wouldn't hold my breath on it, but the longer the national title drought continues the more urgency their will be on an adjustment I'd like to think. Wishful thinking?

If this disastrous showing doesn't lead them to reevaluate and make changes, I don't think anything will. Although, outside of officiating, I'm not sure what changes could be made at the conference level rather than at the individual schools. That said, officiating changes could make a large impact on style of play.

More freedom of movement, cleaning up the unnecessary physicality. The current is what the Big Ten wants though.

Finally got a good game today with UM and LSU

LSU 60

UM 58

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich]

Let's LSU. Screw the Big Ten!

[TheWatShot]

Chaundee Brown's entire foot was on the baseline before he got fouled. Really don't know how refs miss some of these calls.

I’m mean they massage the outcomes by “missing calls”

[Hoosier Guy]

LSU has just given away this game. They’ve gone completely brain dead

[go iu bb]

Looks like UM will pull this one out so there will be a B1G team in the Sweet 16.

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich]

Look at the scores to these and how much time is left in each.
