Actually MAY be Minnesta ball.

"But did it graze the back of Griesel?"

 

This is why I've come to hate replay review. It causes people to look for things that aren't there. 

Yes, it PROBABLY was off Griesel.  But IMO looking for 'direction change' of the ball isn't actually looking for actual contact.

Why is Hoiberg calling timeout between free throws? If he misses the second, it has to be a full-court heave. 

[RaceToTheTop 28,405]

HORRIBLE time out by Hoiberg.  Minnesota missed the free throw.  Minnesota up 2, 1.3 seconds left, 1 free throw left for Minny.  Seems pretty obvious to try to miss the free throw and force a full court heave.  Hoiberg keeps the timeout, he could have diagrammed something.

Minnesota win.

Maryland it is then

[cbp4iu 1,986]

Only hope is Minnesota keeps it close vS Maryland.

[HinnyHoosier 5,731]

Maryland should be more worried about Maryland away from home than we should be.

Was thinking I wonder what will happen to the Big Tourney when the Big Ten officially adds USC and UCLA. 16 team bracket no byes?

Maybe how the old big east used to be set up. 4 teams get a bye, 4 get double bye, other 8 get no byes. 
 

Having 16 teams with no byes would mean 8 first round matchups. Would need to split the first round up either over 2 days or 2 arenas in 1 day.

This announcer in the Big Sky Championship game might rival Bill Walton.

His interpretation of the First 4 in and First 4 out was him being one of the first in and last out of the local bar. Described a game last night as going to a gang fight and a basketball game broke out.

Big Sky country does it  differently

And my favorite, "he was on him like freckles on a red head".

In one of the semifinal games the  players were falling down a lot and he seriously said players are falling down like there was a sniper in the arena.

Today is one of the best individual days of the college basketball season.   Loaded matchups all day long.    Hoops junkies never take it for granted.  On this day in 2020 ended up being one of the worst days in college basketball history.   Enjoy overdosing on college basketball today.    Might be a good day to add a 5th TV

This is why the BTT double bye setup annoys me because the best B1G aren’t playing. Hasn’t been much of an issue for IU, but maybe it would be better if we finished on Saturday. 
 

I wonder how they’ll do it when we add 2-4 more teams?

B1G will never give up that prime slot on Sunday right before the selection show.   I hear though about having it earlier.   Still some awesome B1G games with a ton of meaning today.   Rutgers/Michigan at noon is a massive bubble game,  Penn St/Illinois huge game for Penn St and iowa/Ohio St.  Buckeyes are playing better and have the talent to be a bid stealer and win the BTT.    Providence/UConn could be my game of the day at the Garden

Love him or hate him but an interesting background story on Bo Boroski.

A great referee. Always was. And an excellent story. Good for him.
