Yup. Mole. Want to know why I love mgoblog? When I did an image search on her, I found a pic of Erin Andrews, from an mgoblog thread, discussing Tracy Wolfson, her mole and her perceived hotness.
There is nothing of merit that has been thought of or discussed that hasn't been a topic on this site.
Entertaining game. I live in Iowa so I'm half persuaded to root for the 'Clones today. Their athleticism is really showing in this tournament thus far, giving Ohio fits in this one. (Holy hell they chuck up the ball a lot and often)
It is a very entertaining game. Hopefully ISU can pull this out.
Good first half. Iowa State scored more than I expected from them but that's mostly because Ohio isn't rebounding
Compared to the Buckeyes' rebounding, Iowa State is wreaking their own havoc on the boards (offensive rebounding percentage for Ohio State is 18.2% right now, about 2.5 times less than Iowa State's), and in terms of effective FG percentage, these teams are literally 0.06% from one another. Six steals by Ohio State and nine Iowa State turnovers make a huge difference so far though. If the Cyclones were handling the ball a little better, this could be even more interesting than it is now.
He must have been too busy watching NBA games this year to watch any college games. He clearly doesn't have a clue about the level of play in the B1G this year. Claiming they are still over-rated, even after we went 6-1 in the round of 64, and have already put two teams in the Sweet16.
I hope we get 5-6 teams in the Sweet16, just so we can see him eat crow...well, and the fact that it is good for the conference to get the exposure.
With all the good play-by-play guys out there, many of them on their payroll, it's infuriating that CBS sticks with a sanctimonious troll like Jim Nantz as their lead broadcaster.
I have ohio in the sweet sixteen, but honestly I'd be okay if they lost.
Heh, if OSU stays by the basket just then they get the rebound.
Let's go Iowa State! Some want to see all Big Ten teams do well - not me. All except for MSU and OSU. Mostly b/c I hate them, but partially because tey are our primary recruiting rivals (and IU, but I don't hate them). I think us winning and them losing only helps UM.
Oh, and I hate them.
Go ISU.
After watching a season of B1G BB it's so weird seeing refs call pushoff fouls when rebounding.
LaQuinton Ross is OSU's key. They know what they'll get from most everyone else, but if he plays well, he gives them a second scoring option that they otherwise don't have.
I'm still surpirsed OSU is letting the hang around, though is finally looks like they're pulling away. Definitely not OSU's best game.
Craft sure hacks a lot and then makes it a theatrical production when called for it
I lost some respect after that mid-court hand smacking altercation. Not nice.
Craft doing his best to choke this game away.
Maybe OSU started looking ahead to the Sweet 16 a little early. Though, hit some FT's and they's still be up by a few possessions.
to cheer on OSU is a good showing by Big Ten teams somewhat validates our quality.
if a bunch of them lose, I won't have high hopes for these rest of the tourney ...
I don't get it. I mean, I completely understand your ideas, but I disagree. It seems that I am in the minority.
SERIOUS QUESTION:
If this were footbally, do you cheer for OSU to win their bowl game? MSU? I sometimes cheer for MSU in their bowl game (assuming, like, that they make one). All other Big Ten teams I cheer for. Never OSU.
So, is it different for you in basketball, or the same for both sports?
note how i said it: "one reason to cheer on OSU..."
I actually find that I really hate Big Ten teams, particularly after we play them and I get to see them in person. MSU and Wisconson in particular this year, and OSU somewhat.
all of that said, Big Ten teams cruising in the NCAAs will be good news for us, so I can be happy when they win (even if I generally cheer against them).
make sense?
I'm a little surprised that OSU is letting ISU hang in this game. I think OSU/IU are the best-playing teams in the Big Ten and was expecting OSU to really pull away in this game.
Glad that isn't happening.
And 1! Tie it up baby!
If Cyclones hit 3' s they win. Just as they hit one.
Someone do the Heimlich on Craft before it's too late.
Wow. Craft faces refs who don't excuse all of his fouling.
It's fantastic.
I think he fouled out against IU in their first game, but otherwise I'm going with yes.
This game is crazy! Ohio crumbling before our eyes. They've got time to right the ship but they better do it fast.
Edit: Craft with a big redemption basket, an and-1 drive to the basket.
hey, not a bad idea. But then, part of that 1 and 1 is strategy and drama. Hmmm...
Don't you dare blow this. Everyone is talking up the B1G and I want an all B1G Final Four. I mean I will have fun laughing if you lose, but I actaully want you to win.
If the whistles get swallowed in the last 2 min, then OSU has a great chance. But wirth those 3's falling it might not matter either way.
Quinn Buckner is the biggest ref knob slobber ever
craft trying to rip Trey Burke's jersey.
Oh sorry, flashbacks.
Good game. It looks like OSU is really feeling the pressure. I think they are so good, that they overcome it. Hope not.
Craft walked as well
bullshit charge
