So I had hoped to catch a good IU performance at the BTT and all I caught was Covid.

Seeing the UC San Diego/Michigan line at Michigan -2.5 makes me curious. I know UCSD was a 30-4 wagon in the Big West, but that's all I know. Never got to see them play.

CBS opening its NCAA coverage by paying homage to Greg Gumbel. 

Very sweet.

Shouldn't someone create an 2025 NCAA Tournament discussion thread?

Michigan #25 and UCSD #37 aren't too far on KenPom; I guess the predictives think its gonna be closer despite the difference in brand names.

I was catching some sun rays way south during the BTT.  Hope that me and my better half don't get some mosquito or flea borne bug.  

Hope I don't have to get a horse dewormer.  Or that awful light treatment.  That would be a pain in the ...

Neigh ga tive on that.  

Hope that you feel better quickly.

That was sad on CBS the Coke zero commercial show Big Ten teams showed Indiana University. And we’re not even in the tournament. I wanna cry.

[Hoosier DaDa 3,690]

That family going camping and razzing the dad about not going because they’re gonna miss the tournament. It was hysterical.

[Hoosier DaDa 3,690]

Tip off this is gonna be a good game.

[LIHoosier 27,630]

1st proper game and Paul Szelc and TV Teddy are reffing. Good luck Crouton and Uof6.

Yeah. And like one of my buddies, a Michigan die hard said, which Michigan team will show up?

It's really unfortunate as both teams are sleepers for a run and shouldn't be matched up already as UM got seriously underseeded.

Probably not needed, I was just surprised one of the usual thread starters didn't start one.

[LIHoosier 27,630]

This thread needs a little lovin' after the booms of the Woody Be Gone and Next Coach Up threads.

Creighton's Ashworth is the kind of player that, as a fan, you love if he is on your team and hate when your team plays against him!

Agreed. While Purdue is a 4 seed...ok

[Hoosier DaDa 3,690]

And boom goes the dynamite. Creighton off to a hot start. I’m adopting them as my team for the tournament since McDermott likes our new coach DD.

I've always enjoyed watching him play, probably because we never play against him haha.

On another note I completely forgot Chucky Hepburn was at U6, in which case: Go Creighton.
