BTT Open Thread

I'm torn.  OSU losing would be good for the LOLZ but I also would love to play them again and go 2-0.

 

Someone is drunk at ESPN. Current NCAAB frontpage headline:

"KU may be depleted, but it's making life hard on Marcus Smith and the Pokes."

Just turned the OSU/Purdue game on. Is it right for me to assume the refs are letting Aaron Craft ram into people and get away with multiple travels as usual?

So Terone Johnson is bad against everyone else now? I'll be glad to see this guy graduate.

Wow, had they actually run a "fake-timeout and drive to the hoop" play, that would've been an extremely cerebral move. Might want to save that idea for when you're down though, and not trying to burn clock. 

And Purdue derps away the game.

Stupid Purdue turning it over when Craft missed a free throw.

Terone Johnson single handily fumbling this game away down the stretch, 3 TO's in the last 4 minutes.

At this point you can't tell whose ballot should be. Just say so

Fuck! I thought he had it

or you have a team that almost lost to a terrible Purdue team. I don't think either team is a big obstacle. I'm glad we may have a chance to beat them again.

Oklahoma St is down one to Kansas with about 6 and a half to go. 

I'm getting really tired of announcers talking about how wrong it is that Oklahoma State is going to get a seed in the 7-10 range. Yes they are talented, but they also lost a bunch of games this year and not all of them came when Smart was gone. They will get seeded at the spot they have earned.

Louisville is absolutely beating the shit out of Rutgers, 72-25, with 11:59 left in the second half.  Yeah.  Again, thank you, Jim Delany.

KU and OK-State are tied at 67 apiece with less than a minute to go.

Kansas and Oklahoma St in OT

Oklahoma St has a guy out there limping around. Maybe he is being limited by a foot blister.

I don't think he's made a shot in about 7 minutes, and he's taken some terrible looks at that.  I wouldn't be afraid of this team if Michigan draws them.

Rooting for Purdue is simply brutal. They are defined by being a team with five guys who you can tell over and over and over again to just keep Craft in front of you and make him shoot, and they will still not grasp the concept. Painter says he needs tougher players - I think he needs smarter players. That is a dumb team. 

It is uncanny how much Stephens looks like Kid from Kid N' Play. 

Down 61 with under 3 minutes to go, this is when the Scarlet Knights really shine.

Dammit, OK-State.  You suck.

Rooting for Purdue was like being locked inside the closet of unfathomable sadness. 

I would not be happy having Matt Painter as my team's coach, regardless of any success in the past. That team is a mess. 

I don't know if I've ever seen a team go 1-14 from 3.  That's just terrible, and yet OSU still won.

I agree with Dakich. It's bullshit that Mark Hollis is on the committee. Do you think he'll give us the benefit of the doubt with Michigan if we're right on the line between a 1/2/3 seed.

I think Ohio gets taken to the woodshed tomorrow. That's my bold prediction.

Too bad about what they said about McCaffrey's son. Tumor was discovered. Prayers to them.
