Suddenly I like two Big Ten teams (Wisconsin and either us or Purdue depending on tomorrow's game) to make the Final Four. What the hell?
March 18th, 2017 at 10:44 PM ^
listening to all the talking heads say the B1G was soft this year. Guess not. Especially with NW being a BS call from pushing Gonzaga to the edge.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:33 PM ^
Purdue looking good. Nice day for the B1G.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:37 PM ^
I'm scared shitless of Louisville.
I just don't know if we can hang with all the athletic length they put on the floor. Foul trouble will be so key - hope they have it and we don't.
But man if these results don't make you think the Big Ten ain't half bad, and the ACC... been getting bombed.
Still, I think this is a very good Louisville team. Fuck, I'm already sick to my stomach and have been all day.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:42 PM ^
If we got the damn six we deserved, I'd feel so much better against one of these 3s. Except UCLA, the one team in this tournament I do not want to play Horse against.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:46 PM ^
I swear he fucked over the whole conference just to steer his Izzoes into a matchup against the one #1 they match up pretty well with (KU is lacking in size).
March 18th, 2017 at 10:45 PM ^
Louisville's lost 8 games this year. They're pretty good, but this is not their 2013 outfit.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:47 PM ^
hope we have a lot left in the tank!
March 18th, 2017 at 10:48 PM ^
We could just make 16 threes again.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:54 PM ^
I don't think fatigue is an issue here. Big difference between getting 48 hours of rest and 24 hours (not that that even fazed us last weekend).
March 18th, 2017 at 11:00 PM ^
that'll put some pep in your step
March 18th, 2017 at 11:11 PM ^
and that game was played at a pretty fast pace, while Louisville had a much more comfortable game, but let's hope they have another surprise in store for us!
Also assuming Little Ricky has been with the team and he's run two scouts against us...
March 18th, 2017 at 10:51 PM ^
and they are not the 2013 team. The thing that gives me comfort is they don't have a Russ that can match a Trey. This team is efficient on O but it's because of transition moreso than great shooting. They remind me of a slightly better VCU that we beat in 13. This team can handle that.
But I'm still going to be nervous until it's over.
March 18th, 2017 at 11:17 PM ^
this team doesn't handle being pressed nearly as well as our 2013 team did.
Just have to pray we handle the press alright, stay out of foul trouble, and win a jump shooting contest...
March 18th, 2017 at 10:34 PM ^
March 18th, 2017 at 10:34 PM ^
and what is up with spike's hair? since when is he a red head? only his barber knows...
March 18th, 2017 at 10:38 PM ^
Matthias can get red hot. He got red hot there.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:55 PM ^
twisting, bad form that we'd tell our kids to never use - but of course give matthias credit, the guy is a legit D-1 player so he'll make those on occasion. pulling for purdue and the B10, excepting ELCC.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:59 PM ^
I've seen him do it before. His form is never textbook - he has a weird body for an athlete.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:36 PM ^
Just noticed Canyon Barry throws FTs like his pops.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:55 PM ^
I want the underhand FT to make a comeback. It's awesome.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:37 PM ^
Watching that Pizza Hut ad makes me wonder: why did the Reebok Pump die out? It was a good idea.

Virginia misses a free throw to avoid 40. Appropriate somehow.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:47 PM ^
Wisconsin and (sigh) PSU just started OT in the Big Ten hockey title game.
March 18th, 2017 at 11:16 PM ^
March 18th, 2017 at 10:56 PM ^
the seeding. And the fact that 3 Big 12 and 3 B1G teams are in the same region. 6 of 16 teams are from 2 conferences. WTF?!
It's not like each conference got 12 teams in. It's another example of how poorly this tournament was structured.
March 18th, 2017 at 11:01 PM ^
although I still say it was all about Hollis manuevering Sparty into a 2nd rounder with KU.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:58 PM ^
Swanigan has an 8/8/6 already.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:59 PM ^

Good luck in the NBA next year. We will (not) miss you.
March 18th, 2017 at 11:02 PM ^
Yes and no. He's a fun presence to have in the league.. To be honest, I think the same thing about Nigel Hayes who is one of the more interesting dudes in the whole country.
March 18th, 2017 at 11:06 PM ^
And that young man should go get paid. Matt Painter can't teach him anything else.
March 18th, 2017 at 11:07 PM ^
March 18th, 2017 at 11:00 PM ^
I feel like that is never called correctly.
March 18th, 2017 at 11:01 PM ^
Theoretically: I do not want to have to beat Purdue three times in what, seven weeks?
March 18th, 2017 at 11:04 PM ^
March 18th, 2017 at 11:07 PM ^
but I'm pretty sure I'd watch a sitcom with Spike (NNTS), Chuck, and Sam.
March 18th, 2017 at 11:10 PM ^
21 assists on 23 FGs. Dang, Purdue.
March 18th, 2017 at 11:10 PM ^
March 18th, 2017 at 11:12 PM ^
baby Shaq diving onto the floor (and you) for a loose ball.
Go get it big fella.
March 18th, 2017 at 11:12 PM ^
when he gets this interested, things get dangerous fast.
March 18th, 2017 at 11:13 PM ^
Big Ten teams see zone so rarely they all seem to struggle against it.
March 18th, 2017 at 11:14 PM ^
with Swanigan out was looking for the under 12. Ok, they got it there anyway.
March 18th, 2017 at 11:16 PM ^
Time to switch over to GGG-Jacobs fight.
March 18th, 2017 at 11:17 PM ^

that festival is coming.
March 18th, 2017 at 11:18 PM ^
to have Drago as your center.
March 18th, 2017 at 11:20 PM ^
needs to stop shooting.
