Illinois Beats Some Weird Guys Posbang Thread

This can't be up voted enough.

Intensive purposes

You should have watched the post game show on ESPN2. They immediately explained that they need time to gel after being separated by injuries for so long. Now they can shrug off the B1G title pressure and start focusing on a tourney run. Duh.

Fantastic avatar!!

Yes, people do care about those.

If you were part of a conference you wouldn't have to ask

More than they care about preseason rankings, at least.

teams really do, more so than the conference tourney.  B1G was one of the last conferences to not have a post-season tourney.  (Ivy still does this; kudos but they don't need that money.)

ACC has been playing theirs since the '50s and has used it to determine their champion since the early '60s.  B1G first had the conference tourney in '98.

...are being serious, aren't you?

I don't have many MGoPoints, and what with the way the new point system works, I've always managed to resist the impulse to neg people, even when they deserve it. But you, sir, have earned my first ever downvote. Congratulations.

Woah......your getting Negbanged in a Posbang thread!!!!!

This is impossibly dumb. Yes? 

This means EVERYTHING. 

Especially in a conference like the Big Ten, where you need to bring it every night. 

It takes so much work and effort to make it through the whole season and be the last team standing at the top - to me it is clearly the most important accomplishment besides winning the whole tournament. 

It is the representation of multiple sustained months of excellence. 

This is an enormous accomplishment. 

Your post is pure crazy. 

Meh, think what you want, but a lot of brain trust around the country feels like winning the regular season conference is not a need.  The goal is cushioning your seeding in the actual only tournament that matters and then winning that tournament.

 

The coach at Pitino's in-state rival was willing to take things a step further. "I've never been big on conference championships," Kentucky coach John Calipari said after the Wildcats' 84-70 win at Ole Miss. "Every game we play is to prepare us for March." It's a sentiment — and to be fair, Pitino has always harped on the importance of conference tournaments while Calipari has not — echoed by more coaches than just those inside the Bluegrass State.

PS: Don't let the avatar fool you or blind fold you with hatred in assuming my question was full of malice. I said I was happy for you. The question pertaining to regular season was serious.
