BTT Open Thread: Night games
I know there's an open thread at the bottom, but it might get bumped soon. Feel free to delete.
OSU and PSU in a tight game with Purdon't - SUNJ to come.
Agreed, although it would have a slight negative effect on Michigan's RPI, I still think it's better for the overall image.
Plus, it's really easy to root against OSU. :)
Better to be a 5 than a 6. The 5/12 thing comes up because it's often a power conference team that's trending downward vs. a minor conference champion that's trending up.
Michigan has been playing its best basketball of the season. There's no reason to fear the #12.
Michigan's stuggles against Iowa had nothing to do with falling asleep and everything to do with having to play Izzo's patented "weird guys."
Of course Michigan could be upset in the tournament -- anybody can, which is why it's so popular in general. But the higher the seed, the better the chance to win the thing. both because good teams are rewarded with good seeds (correlation) and because poorer seeds are generally poorer teams (causation).
By your argument, Michigan should be hoping to be a #13 seed so they can get a really brutal path to the Final Four. :) I'll pass...
PSU is now up to #67 in RPI
I think you might have just bumped it. :)
Dust bunnies forming > OSU v PSU v Purdon't
I would laugh if OSU lost to Penn State 3x this year
I would also laugh if Rutgers beats Purdue
well done fugitive
(did you really kill your wife? any schaenfreude for that? no?)
"Dakich trying to keep him in front of him."
Olé.
Michigan up 1-0 on Wisconsin with 2:40 gone in the 1st.
Michigan 1- Wisconsin -1

Badgers...
I'm only watching the stats summary (FY BTN2GO). Went away for 2 minutes and now they're down 3-1
Wisconsin leads shots on goal 12-6 with 3/4 of the first period gone.
Gus Johnson, master of hyperbole: "I look at Dakich, I can't help but think of Aaron Craft."
Meanwhile, Bill Raftery, upon seeing Dan Dakich in the stands: "He's not comfortable without a microphone. <pauses a beat> Offending someone."
The man is a treasure. :)
Slaker!!! PPG, 3-3 tie!!!
3-3!
again
..... Uggg
Hughes PPG!!!! 4-3 U-M!!!!
Michigan up 4-3, still in the 1st
4-3!
We want MOAR goals!!!!
Carr vs. Dakich is not fair.
finally started....
by what Pat Chambers has slowly built. Fighting a culture of bad bball is tough to break, especially with Villanova at a peak. He has to capitalize on Pitt being horrific while he can.
he called that.
Penn State needed that desperately.
He's a defensive specialist. Like a worse passing Z
playing lots of minutes. Those black shoes gotta go though.
PSU win should make them a T1 win for us.
Now 5-3 M in the 2nd.
Calderone on the PP at 3:20
and dunk for the 1pt lead with 2.8 sec
