"Mitch McGraw" - Digger
That he has no idea what he's talking about when he calls Oladipo player of the year. He hasn't even watched Michigan play...
BC is up two on Miami at half.*
BC was down 21-8 but leads 27-25 at the half over Miami.
The Indiana v Illinois game has been a ass whipping. I thought Indiana would win but was hoping it would be a good game.
Question: If Michigan wins the BTT is there any way they don't get a #1 seed?
The champ game is Sunday at 3:30 eastern, and selection Sunday starts 7:30pm. Will the committee take into consideration the results of the championship game? I feel like the obvious answer is 'yes' that they do, especially if it's for a potential one-seed, I just don't know the deadline for the actual decisions and whether or not that would make a difference.
Kansas winning the B12 would be interesting between us and them if it came down to that. And then there is Gonzaga, I have no idea what the committee would do if all these teams above won and had to be compared with Gonzaga, but I'm pretty sure Gonzaga will get a 1.
Illinois looking much better on offense this half so far. Zeller is destroying them, 9/11 for 18.
for me to really dislike all the other coaches at the (ED) upper tier (/ED) schools in the Big 10. I can respect Tom Izzo for what he's been able to accomplish, but I don't respect or like Tom Crean, Bo Ryan, or Thad Matta.
IU shooting 70% from the floor in the 2nd half.
Every time Illinois makes a big shot or a good play Indiana puts them back in there place. I hate to admit it but they are just a damn good basketball team. I hope we beat them like a red headed step child Saturday.
How does Oladipo score so much in the paint? it's like he just sneaks in there everyttime and outrebounds.
Thats probably the game. Damn really wanted Indiana to be pushed today get them a little tired for saturday.

Up 13 pts, less than 5 min left, and they're full court pressing. I hate Indiana.
Uhhhhh... did you see the end of the last IL-IN game? I can certainly see why they're not taking any chances in this one.
but I hate Indiana anyway. I'm sure you're okay with that. Don't kill my buzz, bro!
Ha, fair enough.
Apparently, Illinois has "a quarter of a million alumni in Chicago"?
Seemed high to me, a comment that stuck out.
By my math, that's about 9% of Chicago went to Illinois. Yeah, I'd say that's awfully high.
Oladipo goes for a 360 degree dunk up 16 to go up 18. Indiana is full of a lot of assholery. Was a nice one, though, so there's that.
Great dunk by oladipo, but did he travel....twice? Receiving the ball he took a step and another, then dribbled. then he grabbed the ball took 3 or 2 (and a half ??) steps then dunked
Why is Indiana fouling?
How did such a blowout game take so long to wrap up? Now the Michigan game will start late and I'll miss the end due to a 1:30 (PST) meeting. Death to Indiana/Illinois.
Indiana was fouling for some reason at the end. It was a little weird.
It would be nice to not have to face IU with him next year.
Also - that swagger really makes someone look like a douche when they aren't on your team.
Crean makes it through the hand shake line without incident!
Miami wins 69-58, ended the game on a 14-3 run over Boston College.
