Please basketball Gods, leave Michigan out! 😂
-
Vermont already seeded. They’re gonna set us up with Akron aren’t they
-
Rutgers made it to the play-in game. Big for Rutgers.
-
2 big ten teams in the west and we get Rutgers and Michigan State?
Pass
-
Tough matchup for Michigan state in first round against Davidson
-
Rutgers made it to the play-in game. Big for Rutgers.
Got sent 3 time zones west.
-
There is some sense of humor - I recall some big UT-C nightmares from the 90's
Muck Fichigan
-
Damn we get Chattanooga in the South Region. They’re tough!
-
Chattanooga. We haven’t beat them yet, have we?
-
Fuck Michigan being an 11 seed
-
25 years ago Chattanooga beat Illinois. Now they get to do it again lol
Although if they can win that game, Houston is by far the worst 5 seed
-
Yuck. Poor match up drawing Houston in the 2nd game.
-
Ohio State gets Loyola this year 😂
-
If we get past Chattanooga, Houston is gonna buttfuck us. Go Illini
-
Need to pay Chattanooga back! Seth Davis already picking them to upset us.
-

that one was a real downer, the 2 seed had already been beat, the bracket was clearing out and we finished the job
-

Zero reason Michigan should be in the tournament

Wisco gets sent all the way to ....... Milwaukee.

Wisconsin has to be the luckiest motherfuckers ever.

I'm resigned to the fact this team could beat anyone...
or lose to anyone
-
I like Iowa getting to sweet 16
-
Wyoming/San Fran gonna get screwed over for N. Dame
wow
-
How does Indiana get a play-in game and Michigan ahead of them?! Fuck the committee.
-
Purdue pretty bummed faces realizing they go to Milwaukee not Indy
-
Va tech gonna beat Texas and purdue
-
Tennessee got screwed too being seeded a 3 and not a 2. Duke gets it. Smh
-
Chattanooga didnt play a power 5 school all season. Two best teams Belmont and Murray state beat them by double digits.
They're a small ball team. Both forwards are 6'6" and 6'9"

I usually get fooled by a couple of teams that impress in the conference tournament and then lay an egg the next week. But, VA Tech played better every round, and if they can maintain that momentum they could be a FF team.
-

That makes no sense at all. Indiana definitely deserved a better seed than Fichigan.

I bought oregon ST last year at a calcutta for 600.00. Won over 8,00.00

They were very well rewarded for SOS, conference and non-con.
-
How is Wisconsin the #9 overall seed?! That’s fucking insane!
-

even if they lost most of the games
-
Seth Davis picks Wisconsin to FF
Clark Kellogg picks Iowa to FF
-
Chattanooga has Silvio de Sousa who is the guy from Kansas who got into a brawl and proceeded to pick up a chair. He also got into trouble w/ taking money.
Jean-Baptiste and Malachi smith are probably their best players though.
-
even if they lost most of the games
Don't look at me. Lol.
The Howard punch got overlooked.
Plus they got #42 overall.
-

They got 20 fouls to throw at Kofi....6 others at 6'4-6'7 types....we have Kofi/Hawk and then Grandison and RJ?
This is not a good matchup for our 3 guard set of 6'1-6'4 guys?
-
i like UCLA as well

Chattanooga. We haven’t beat them yet, have we?
Nope. We did in fact play them only one more time after the 97 tournament.
https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/boxscores/2015-11-21-illinois.html
We started 1-3 getting killed by North Florida, losing by 1 @Providence when Finke missed the game winning dunk in the final seconds, and then Chattanooga. We rebounded next game when JCL hit a three at the buzzer to get past juggernaut Chicago St.
Sorry for bringing back repressed memories. :D

Illinois does struggle with long athletic teams like Maryland so if Chatt has similar athletes could be a problem

#Illini Underwood said that Trent Frazier & Coleman Hawkins have pinkeye & that's why they're wearing glasses today. Underwood said he has it in both eyes.
it never ends
-
Be interesting to see how they got that pink eye…
I knew they shouldn’t have allowed Robb around the team! 😡
-
This is how Chatt made the tourney.
They will be playing care free after hitting a 28 footer at the buzzer to even make it.

Chattanooga No. 333 in kenpom defensive 2 point fg% efficiency.

5:50 tip off. I should be home just in time for the start.

Zona in the S16 if we make it that far. Ouch.

Chattanooga No. 333 in kenpom defensive 2 point fg% efficiency.
That's how I would defend Illinois though. I'd cover the 3 point shooters and make Kofi score everytime and foul him. Make him shoot 20 free throws.
-

Why would the Howard punch play into it at all?

I would think that if you have a team on the bubble, and you have a choice between picking a team with a coach that isn't an asshat, and picking a team with a coach that is a repeat offender, proven asshat, you might steer away from said asshat.
But it appears that the committee valued their SOS, regardless of getting murdered by all the good teams they played to get the SOS.
Anyway, whatever. Michigan making the dance makes it far less likely that they fire him. Which is actually good for us.
-
I don’t think a coach’s behavior should play into whether a team gets a bid or not. Their resume is what should. I don’t think they should be in but it would be shameful if they kept them out because of Howard punching the dude.
Mark Few got a DUI but I haven’t heard anyone say it should hurt their seed.

I think everything should be factored in. And I think it sucks that Few essentially got a pass for that DUI.
These fucking coaches make their bank off of the backs of their players. They should at least be held to some kind of standard of not being a jag. If they own the program, they own it. It's up to them to live up to some kind of standards. And if their behavior affects their school's ablility to compete on the highest levels, then fine. Does it punish the players? Yep. But with NIL and relaxed transfer rules, maybe they can evaluate these assholes a little bit closer now.
-
On court behavior is part of the body of work, imo.
Howard has 2 years running.
TAM should have gotten the bid, and a 17-14 record is NIT worthy.
-
It would be ridiculous for the committee to consider Howard’s “slap” in determining their worthiness of a bid.
-
I think everything should be factored in. I don't think Michigan should have gotten in. Based on how they performed this season.
The "slap" should be factored in, imo. It shouldn't necessarily be a determining factor, but it should be considered.
Again, it's probably good in the long run that they got in. Because Michigan won't fire him now.
-
Tournament discussions awesome, all Bobcats/Longhorns/Jayhawks/BlueJays etc welcome to discuss, just no Dipshits...!!!
-
I don’t feel like Few’s DUI and Howard striking another B1G coach after a game are analogous.

Heaven forbid a Kentucky-xxxx/northwest suburb of Illinois championship game. I don't even know if I would watch that. Can't stand either team or coaches.

Sure hope that BU and all the players think back on last year and also on most predicting a Chattanooga upset....shouldn't need board material but....

Some of those were perfect.
-
Yeah I thought they did a really good job!
-
If not for Trace Jackson-Davis, Indiana would be miserable against Wyoming. 14 of their 30 points at the half. May need 35 out of him for Indiana to win. Thompson and Johnson look terrible.
-
The fact Indiana can win games with virtually no 3 point shooting is rather incredible
-
That game was like watching old people fuck.
No offense to actual old people in attendance.

Nailed Groce and Nate Oats. Whiffed on BU. BI attorneys are more polished like Cal or McKillip. Brad does look like the older housing or subro attorneys who are regulars in a single courtroom and dress with complacency. Fran looks like a BigLaw partner (not a compliment).
-
Are any of you watching Wright State? Finke's younger brother repping the bloodline with the hair. Nagy looks like he's going to pick up a win here.

Alright state with the W.

Yeah, that ship sailed.

Been an entertaining game for sure. Winning team may have a rough game on Friday,
Huge game out of McConnell. Didn't see that coming.
-
Rutgers coach was crap.
-
Rollercoaster for Rutgers. Big 3 by Harper Jr., then let ND score the winning basket with a second left. Terrible defense and rebounding all game by Rutgers.
-
Notre Dame blows. Rutgers away from the RAC blows even worse.
-
Bad endgame by Rutgers. Did not deserve to win. Bama gets a gift playing ND on 2 days rest.
-
Rutgers forgets who they are. Scores points and gives up points.

Lock for 1st round Alabama, rested, ND 2 OT, spread?, double digit win and bet the over ;D

Rutgers defense was miserable in both OTs.
Hope this isn't a sign for yet another under achieving Big Ten in coming days and weeks.
-
Rutgers last possession of regulation. 15 seconds, tie game. Do nothing until 5 seconds, drive to the 3 point line, and chuck a fade-away 3. They deserved to lose.

This is like a disease in college basketball. Instead of having a play drawn up, the plan, apparently, is have a guy play 1 on 5 and chuck one from deep at the buzzer.
Happens a lot.

Watching that game last night, Rutgers looked like a team whose whole didn't add up to the sum of their parts.

Hopefully Michigan gets their ass kicked.

Richmond up on xxxx/the northwest suburb of Illinois 29-28 at the half. Richmond playing good d and keeping the pace slowed down. Can they continue this pace for the 2nd half and knock em off? Sure hope so and looking to see whiner Fran do his thing. Go Spiders!

Georgia State playing well, but the fouls are going to hurt them. Half their team is gonna be fouled out. If they’re hanging around with 3-4 minutes to go, they might pull it off! Gonzaga is shooting like 20% from the free shot line.

Fortunately, I woke up on the right side of the ground and the sun came up today.
It looks like nobody in my brackets survived yesterday's carnage either.
All is good.
-
Does every team Chin Coleman gets involved with underachieve greatly, or is it just me?
-
Eat shit Calipari! hahahahhaa
HAHAHAHA, couldn't believe it when I got home from a St. Paddy's Day celebration with some friends and saw this score. Only right another snake driven out! Suck it Calimari!

Bucknuts and Loyola in a barn burner. 5 to 5 after 5.

omg the games are on already? damn the west coast is great its 930AM here lol
going to be very unproductive at work today

Buckeyes tearing Loyola a new asshole. Up 9-7 at 10 minute mark.
Big Ten powerhouses ripping through the field.
-
Loyola defends like a motherfucker

How did Courtney Green get this game ?

Yeah, breakfast and tourney basketball here in Cali! I like it! Let's go Loyola. Playing at a pace that would benefit them.
-
How did Courtney Green get this game ?
I sure don't know but maybe he'll screw OSU.
Big 3 ball for Loyola to stop an 8-0 run.
-
This loyola team doesnt look quite as good as last year.

Not playing an Underachiever coached team. Boom goes the dynamite!

employers rejoicing at a whole set of blowouts
-
This loyola team doesnt look quite as good as last year.
They are having a nightmare game on offense.
-
Loosing a Krutwig will do that to you.
-
Usually the tournament gives 1 upset day & 1 chalk day. Hopefully for the illinment this is a chalk day.
-
This loyola team doesnt look quite as good as last year.
well their best player did graduate
-
I don't think it's a good idea for Loyola to try to take it to the rack against OSU. They seem to have tried that a lot, with less than good results.
This Loyola team isn't near as well coached without Porter. Denzel Valentine's brother doesn't quite have the chops.
-
Colorado State choked it away.
I don’t root for any other B1G teams really. They can all suck a dick. UNLESS for instance they are playing a team like Notre Dame, Bruce Pearl, or Ratface. Then Go B1G! Lol
I was trying to think when I actively rooted for another BT team, and came up with one.
2015 Kaminsky Wisconsin team ending carpetbag Calipari's undefeated season.
-
One last missed layup for Loyola. Fitting.
-
MrsMn just started laughing. I assumed it was either something private, or something she would share.
She's in 2nd place in her bracket. ;D ;D
-
Duller day so far. Tx Tech looked good. USC looks like shit.
-
The ratio of commercials to action is insane. Switch among all four games and all in commercial - time after time.
-

Games have been boring so far today -- but I would be quite pleased with a ho hum Illinois blowout.
-
Apparently Kellogg and Barkley going with the upset in the pre-game.
-
Charlie Moore still playing and just won it for Miami.
-
Charlie Moore still playing and just won it for Miami.
Holy crap. I thought it must be a different Charlie Moore. I figured he was way too old to still be playing.
-
He is a 6th year redshirt I think.
Looks like he is still 14 when he first played with Lovett.
He seemed really happy. Good for him and he has a good coach.
-
Lisa Byington Steve Smith and Avery Johnson announcing this nd/Bama game... dear God my ears want to die

Bama blows. Jesus Christ.

Bama blows. Jesus Christ.
All these games on right now are horrid

Yeah these games today suck. Let’s hope Illinois follows suit and blows out Chattanooga in boring fashion!

Did you see where Juwan Howard called a TO up 11 with 32 seconds to play yesterday? Interesting. What a bitch move.
-
Kofi is nowhere near NBA ready. I hope he comes back for his senior year.
-

Did not. A Rams asst should have punched him. Lol.

Sparty up on Davidson 32-31 at the half.
-
UAB shooting 62%...and trailing by 9 at half.
Houston offset that by shooting 56% from behind the arc

Yeah we definitely need a good shooting night playing them or we're fucked.

Yes. It will be a disgusting display of anal rape.
-
Johnny Davis a blistering 4/13 fg against toothpaste
-
Toothpaste 6/7 from 3 in 2nd half. Yeesh
-
Kofi is nowhere near NBA ready. I hope he comes back for his senior year.
He is never going to play much, if at all, in NBA.
It is a totally different game at that level.
-
Up next, 11:10 on CBS vs the Cougars. 9:10am in Reno.
It would be nice to see Trent and DaMonte with good solid games, on both ends of the floor.
-
Fucking morning game. Ugh.
-
I'm ok with Tn slapping Michigan today.
-
Fucking morning game. Ugh.
Yeah, wtf. Same as last year.
-
Bad time for Trent, DaMonte, and Curbelo to all be struggling. Add in a morning game 36 hours after a hard fought grinder and I’ll be happy if we keep it respectable.
-
Did not. A Rams asst should have punched him. Lol.
Or an actual 4 legged Ram nail Howard in the nuts. Would make for enjoyable TV watching of the handshake line.

I don't usually ascribe to a being tired concern unless it is in Multi-day. Conference tourney.
These guys practice harder almost everyday than a game and all grew up playing 3 or 4 games a day in AAU in summer gyms.
They just need to execute better and hit shots.
-
Wouldn't surprise me to see us lose by 20. Houston is a bad match up and playing at an extremely high level and has a ton of tournament experience already. Add in our recent dogshit play and record and a morning game and I don't think this one will be close. Going to bet on the illini losing so at least I'll be able to afford a few beers to cry in.
-
Houston -4.5 btw might just do the money line
-
Baylor having a tough half, scoring 29 but giving up 42 to the Tar Heels.
-
Going to bet on the illini losing
Not if you live in Illinois

Don’t disagree with most of this but didn’t Houston lose their entire starting five from last years final four run?
-
Baylor is done.
-
Baylor is done.
Indeed. RJ Davis killing them
-
Baylor is done.
Ugly white dude on UNC is en fuego
-
And en elbow to the gay kids face lol and now he's out... what a retard
-
And the announcers, but 'he didn't mean to do it'.
-
Interesting how “incidental contact” doesn’t matter with contact to the head unless it happens to Kofi.
-
And en elbow to the gay kids face lol and now he's out... what a retard
You just sent up the Spark bat signal
-
Baylor woke up. Plenty of time left.
-
Baylor woke up. Plenty of time left.
11-0 run since the ogre got ejected
-
Refs really giving baylor freedom to do whatever they want, poor UNC (hahaha)
-
Edey should have been ejected from every fucking game this year. Lol
-
Mayer fouled the fuck out of the guy on the over and back call then they quickly blow a ticky tack foul on the other end
-
College basketball officials bet on games. There is no question about it.
-
Lol baylor guy standing out of bounds grabs the ball... baylor ball!
-
Good comeback.
-
College basketball officials bet on games. There is no question about it.
They’re not even trying to hide it

NC making a shitload of bad decisions
-
NC making a shitload of bad decisions
That happens when you’re getting pounded like you’re in a prison yard, then being called for ticky tack shit on the other end.
-
Not sure I have ever seen a 25 point comeback in an NCAA tourney game.
-
If the refs are going to call games like this, I don't know why more teams don't press and just beat the hell out of teams with smaller rotations. Baylor's going to win this game because UNC lost 2-3 starters in a street fight. Actual basketball UNC has been the better team.
-
Ten minutes of incredibly one sided officiating. It takes a lot for me to defend UNC in any way but Jesus this has been blatant. UNC has also melted down but hard to blame all of that on them when they’re getting blitzed like that.
Hubert Davis is really making me appreciate Underwood’s inbounds plays.
-
I guess when you shoot at the King, do not miss.
-
One thing for sure. Jimmy Jackson needs to STFU
-
Jesus that sequence was pathetic. UNC is toast.
Baylor might go from being down 25 with 10:30 to play to beating the spread. 😂
-
Or not
-
Jimmy Jackson was on 12 NBA teams.
My guess is they were like wtf, get this mthrfcker out of here. He never shuts up.
-
A lot of players will need ice after this, but they should have put pads on at the half.
-
They need to find better refs for the tourney.
-
If the next team doesn’t press Carolina for 40 minutes, they’re not paying attention.
-
Jimmy Jackson was on 12 NBA teams.
My guess is they were like wtf, get this mthrfcker out of here. He never shuts up.
His mouth got him into a lot of problems in his playing days. I imagine he ran his mouth a lot with Jason Kidd in their triangle with Spinderella.
He is so annoying.
-
If you blow a 67-42 lead with 10 minutes left and get taken to OT, that’s a loss in my book.

Michigan and Tenn have a good one going.
-
Michigan and Tenn have a good one going.
Man, I hope Tennessee pulls this one out.
-
Richmond did their duty Thursday, but they appear to be done.
-
Juwan's wife looks like Mrs Magoo with those glasses
-
Feels like it’s slipping away from Tennessee
-
Michigan has a lot of talent. If Howard had done a better job, this could be a really good team.
And they are playing this game without Jones.
-
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKK MICHIGAN
-
On the bright side, they can’t fire Juwan Howard now.
-
Fucking Sweet Sixteen for Michigan. Fuck them!
-
This sweet 16 thing is pretty cool you guys. I hope you get to try it.
-
They’ve got a leg up on us now and get to talk shit. Even though we’ve beat them, won the B1G, they’ve had more tournament success and went farther lately.
-
This sweet 16 thing is pretty cool you guys. I hope you get to try it.
Lol. GTFO.
They looked great.
No reason they cannot win the next one.
-

Well, he obviously recruits like a mthrfcker so they will be in the mix even with him being a head case.
-

That's good stuff. Good to see you, Sven.
-
Juwan's wife looks like Mrs Magoo with those glasses
Yeah, what the fuck is up with that?
-
Muck Fichigan and that bitch Juwan Howard.
-
I’m usually happy to see Big Ten teams win in the tourney. Good for Michigan. Just hope we can go further than they do.
-
UCLA just had a huge injury. Jaquez out.
-

Thanks, Sven. Hopefully we shoot 50% too.
-

I'd love to meet you guys in the E8. You guys are a bad match up for us with Kofi's ability to guard Hunter 1 on 1 but I'd still like our chances against you more than our chances of beating Arizona. Who made us look like a biddy basketball team in our first meeting. So you guys take them out and we'll try not get our brains beat in by Nova (or OSU).
UCLA just had a huge injury. Jaquez out.
The door really is opening up for Purdue. Can they not fuck it up?
-
If UCLA has a healthy Jaquez next weekend they are going to FF.
If not, they will will need some great performances out of rest of guys.
-
UCLA just had a huge injury. Jaquez out.
Jaquez is the best all around player for UCLA IMO. Makes tough shots, rebounds at both ends, best defensive player, and can even play PG when Tyger Campbell is in foul trouble or just catching his breath. He's had ankle problems all year, so not playing again until Friday is big. He's a tough kid. Juzang needs to be more consistent especially if Jaquez is slowed down against UNC. Pretty good game today against St. Mary's, pretty much in control the last 28 minutes. I wasn't sure Cronin would be a good fit for UCLA with his style of controlled offense and stressing tough defense but this team is good playing that style.
-
Gonzaga tied with Memphis at 17. Gonna be a tough game. Memphis playing pretty good since that bad stretch a few weeks ago. Won't surprise me if this game is nip and tuck to the end.
-
Few is a punk.
-
Few is a punk.
A drunk punk. He totally blew off the interview on the sideline with the reporter. Total douchebag.
-
If Few loses to an AAU team it’ll be the worst loss of his career
-
Any nba team that drafts Holmgren will regret it.
-
That Edard kid has one cheesy mustache.
-
I have never rooted for Memphis a single game in my life. I really hope they beat Gonzaga. Every year I feel like I’m getting Gonzaga shoved in my face, and every year they seem a little overrated.
-
Memphis can play
-
Zags are getting killed in transition.
Seems Penny finally figured out how to coach.
-
St Peters sold for 40.00 at a calcutta i went to and someone is about to win over 2,800.00 so far
-
It’s time for Gonzaga to join a real fucking conference. I’m sick of them getting shoved down my throat when they’re an average run-of-the-mill team.
-
Let’s go St. Peter’s!
-
Cocks emerging, says the announcer.
-
St Peters in the sweet 16 in Philly, about 2 hours from their campus.
-
That’s awesome for them. They are legit and their coach is gonna have a lot of opportunities after this tournament.
-
Did Bob Huggins eat himself? Jesus Christ, dude looks obese and when he talks he acts like he’s gonna pass out.
-
He and Martin are Underwood's mentors. Lol.
-
He and Martin are Underwood's mentors. Lol.
Haha, true. The other night when I saw Frank, I had no idea who the fuck he was until he started telling a story about coaching Pullen at K State.
-
Timme is Larry Bird in the 2nd half

He’s been a beast. Spin moved under the basket looked like Kevin McHale.

Yeah, he looks a lot different with no hair.
-

Penny better figure out how to stop Timme, he is on FI-YA! Plus Memphis going to have foul problems the rest of the game.
-
My cousin is a professor at UM and a lifelong super-fan. I’ll bet he’s freaking out right now.
-
Gonzaga doesn’t have a single foul called on them in the second half.
-
Gonzaga doesn’t have a single foul called on them in the second half.
Suhhhhprizeeee!
-
It’s almost… unbelievable 🤔
-
It’s almost… unbelievable 🤔
The head of the NCAA must have texted the refs to call some fouls on Gonzaga, but still only have 6 with less than 4 minutes to go.
-
So, does Penny think he can use all these timeouts he’s holding on to next year?
-
One rule change I’d make it is make it 8 seconds to get the ball past half court than 10 seconds. That would make pressing to comeback easier and make the pace faster
-
Why does every announcer say a quick 2 is better than a 3? You likely have to make a 3 at some point so the quicker you take it the better
-
There’s a camera man that really wants to fuck Few’s wife. She got a lot of air time.
-
If that was my wife I’d drink too 😂
-
Officials in that game should be investigated.

Their game has gone almost exactly like ours did. Looked blitzed fought back now Nova showing some muscle
-
Gillespie is a baller
-
Wow

Hang on, Nova!
-
I never thought I'd root for MSU...but go MSU!
-
I hope they both lose
-
I hope they both lose
I concur
-
Duke getting every call at end
-
Bo Borowski got this game.
-
Michigan State getting fucked.
I just threw up in my mouth a lil bit saying that
-
Early in our game they had a tourney recap and part of it was "Return of the Big Ten, 8-3 this year, 8-9 last year"
We promptly dropped 3 straight, the conference might not win another game
-
Iowa St looking good so far vs wisco
-
Wisconsin with 14 TOs.
ISU is also ugly.
-
Wisco 1-17 from 3.
-
So Purdue and Michigan left for the B1G. Smh
-
Apparently wisconsin is allowed to beat the fuck out of isu in the last minute and only get called for a foul when they want one
-
The best thing I can say about today: At least Greg Gard is not the Illinois head coach.
-
Two wins last year. Sweet Sixteen this year.
What a turnaround.
-
Greg gard sucks too can't get to the s16 with an all American and b1g poy and lost to an 11 seed lol
-
How are everybody's brackets doing ?
😂😂
-

Well, at this point, Mn, I’m just rooting for upsets.
Edit. Except ND. Fuck them.

LETS GO MIAMI! (Yuck)

ISU was woefully underseeded.
Or perhaps wisconsin was overseeded 🤷♂️

Lol.
They lost 12 games this year. Lucky to get in.
Wisconsin took a shit on the floor.
-
How are everybody's brackets doing ?
😂😂
Actually had ISU over WI and Michigan S16 in one bracket
-
With the B1G in general, Illinois, Illinois, and Wisconsin looked slower than high majors and couldn't score against lower-ranked teams. OSU and MSU held with top 10 teams for 30 minutes then both fell off. Rutgers was gassed late against an ACC team. Indiana couldn't defend St. Mary's.
Michigan is the only team that played above its ability. Purdue may do well later tonight, but it seems like the B1G isn't as athletic as other conferences and isn't as good against non-B1G offenses as it should be.
-
Lol.

My bad.

Texas could give them issues
-
Fwiw- Kenpom has Purdue at 14 and Texas at 15 with a 1 point Purdue projected win.
So this is a toss up.
-
I hope they both lose
Good news and bad news. Good news, one coach will lose. Bad news, one coach will win. Rat Face wins.
-
Texas could give them issues
Chris Beard knows how to coach.
So, with that said, he better start coaching, Purdue on a 20-0 run for 9 minutes. Trevion Williams killing em .
-
Chris Beard knows how to coach.
Have you heard his story?! If not too bad, we think Robb might be dead, so he can’t tell you.

Congrats to 24 year old Charlie Moore. On his 4th college team of his career and gets to the sweet 16.
-
??? What is Trevion Williams doing? Fouls 30 feet from the hoop. Then has a dunk and possible FT to pass to guy to shoot a missed 3. Doesn't make a lot of sense.
-
Oh no I'm so sad bruce pearl is going to lose
-
Auburn shoots 32%. 20% from 3.
They couldn't buy a bucket.
-
Auburn losing killed my brackets. I think college basketball is down bc there’s lot of guys now playing in the G League that would have been playing college in other years.
Quality is lacking this year. And not really any interesting storylines left.

I have heard of this kind of thing happening somewhere else before…..
-
2 ex Gophers having good games. Kalscheur gets 22 for ISU and Carr at 18 for Texas.
-
If I was Jerrance I wouldn’t even try head coaching at some shitty mid major. He can make more money as the top assistant at big programs with far less pressure.
Coaching under Larry Brown, Self, Beard is a hell off a resume
-
Purdue should win it all. I don’t see any other teams left in this tourney better than them when Purdue is at their best

Arizona and Kansas and maybe Villanova are better but purdue has an easy route now
Don't sleep on Duke either, there's your "story" and they have a lot of talent with nba size
-
Purdue doesn't even recruit that well at all if u go by stars and how their ranked. Yet a ton of production. Painter can coach. Players at Illinois just seem to stagnate. Not much progression at all.

Arizona in trouble. Down 2 with 1:47 left

WOW.
Too bad it didn't count.
Definitely should have been a foul on Zona though.

Looked like he tripped when trying to not go over the ljne

Heartbreaker for TCU but Arizona made all the big plays down the stretch

Whale of a game. TCU came to play. Zona just made all the big plays down the stretch.

Mathurin is the best player in the country. Period.

Yep. The blueprint is right out there for everyone to see. It doesn’t include 7’ 285 centers playing 35 minutes alongside a bunch of guys who can’t make plays for the most part.
Was amazing to watch all these teams that can attack off the dribble and get looks at the rim or in the midrange.

Sometimes shit works out. Have to throw a lot of spaghetti at the wall, but look for the right kind to begin with.
Fun fact. Jaden Ivey was barely a top 100 guy in HS (89).
Another fun fact- the Murray twins at Iowa had no offers out of high school. Went to prep school.
Tony Perkins was 314. Guy is a fcking baller.
We need to find more kids with high athletic skills and potential and enough will work out.

The college game is increasingly like the NBA (which everyone here hates), but it relies heavily on the three, and guys who can make plays at end of shot clocks when the stuff you try and run breaks down.
And you need a few of them.
Look out for Michigan if they keep that group together and add to it a little bit next year.

Been saying this since the Weber days. I specifically remember watching a not even great Seton Hall team and thinking “our guys don’t look like that.”

Looks like Gonzaga and Michigan are going down tonight.

Arkansas staggering in
-
Musselman is a great coach

Down goes Ali! Down goes Ali!

Nova turning it over. Still giving Michigan life.
That'll probably do it though.

Gillespie about had a career-ending knee injury there. That looked much worse than it turned out to be.
-
Called it haha

Why didn't ncaa stagger gms out longer? Shouldve waited at least 1/2 hour before Michigan gm started.

Yeah you have to watch one or the other and/or switch back and forth. Makes no sense and they aren’t maximizing the potential $$$$$$

I take great joy in watching Gonzaga get knocked out, especially early. It’s becoming an annual tradition.

If TTech can come through we get the entitled bitches school daily double meltdown in one night.

Awesome start by Texas Tech! Keep it going!
-
Wow. Great start.
-
Texas Tech looks good and much better than Duke.
-
Texas Texh needs to build a big lead because you know the refs are going to give Duke and Ratface every single call. It literally just started with that last foul.
-
I'm watching Zona houston I can't stand ratface and the zebras
-
Houston off to a good start, 14-4. Flying up and down the court
-
Yeah I switched to AZ and Houston. Houston is damn good. We lost to a really good team. No shame in that. The shame was in how we played. Even with how bad we played, we still had a shot to win it.
-

-
Illinois’ Fighting Illini jerseys were just on the Invesco QQQ commercial on CBS.
-
Houston D still looks like really good tonight but not as good as when they’re guarding only 2-3 guys that can shoot.
Also, fuck Duke.
-
Dammit Texas Tech
-
Duke shot 71% in the second half. Not gonna beat many teams that shoot it that well. Texas Tech blew it. Fuck Duke!
-
Barring an epic collapse by Houston, looking like Zona is going to go down too
-
If Duke wins the National Championship, I’m gonna puke.
-
Houston is really, really good. I hate to say it but Sampson is coaching his ass off over there.

Tried to give it away. They refs won"t let them win versus a Duke if it gets to that.

Lot of high seeds left in the elite 8.
#5
#4
#2
#2
#10 or #11
#4 or #8
#3 or #15
#1 or #4

what those two possessions where they turned it over near the end and then Zona choked some more when down by 6 and lost by 12?
but Houston does hack a LOT, no way they will be allowed to be that physical with Duke if it comes to that
-

They play great d, were giving up 59 points/game, 60 tonight to a team that puts up 80 most nights. Would not be surprised if they play for the championship.
Adios Arizona!

Yep

I usually root for either underdogs, or storylines in the NCAA, so I guess I'll root for Duke to win it all in Coach K's last season.
Houston - don't care.
Purdue - it'd be cool if they won
Arkansas - don't care
Kansas/Providence - don't care
Duke - Coach K's last year be cool if they won
UCLA/NC - don't care
Iowa State/Miami - no shot
St Peters - no shot
So of teams that have a reasonable chance to win, i hope Duke or Purdue win it.
But ultimately, this is a very boring set of teams remaining. Maybe Iowa State can pull it off. To go from 2-28 last year to the Final 4 would be something. But other than that its hard to find a compelling underdog team to cheer for.

You forgot the team that will win it all.....

Villanova? Also nothing compelling about them either. They've already won it twice recently.
NCAA seriously lacking lot of star power in the tourney too but IMO it's due to too many high level kids going to the G League instead of college now.

Yes Nova...Wright is a big game coach won it 2 times and could be 3 in last 10 years and usually does well, when no one is talking that much about them.

Jay Wright is a great coach and it wouldn't surprise me at all if they won it all again if Gillespie can play effectively after that knee injury last night. Talk about team play, it's his teams. No real super players over the years.
-
Providence can't do shit on offense.
-
Barkley on PU pounding it inside in the 2nd half, "St Peter's is not going to grow at halftime."
-
I think I’m in love with St. Peter’s. They’ve got some swag/moxie, whatever you wanna call it. Just a really good, smart, and experienced team.
-
They are definitely giving PU all they can handle. Underwood, you watching this? But they are getting in foul trouble, gonna haunt them.
-
Edey doesn't look good tonight
-
St Peters is playing out of their minds
-

Quick and active hands. Moving the feet on defense instead of reaching.

Imagine being a middle-aged dude and wearing a Boilermaker hard hat at a game.
-
St Peters in control
-

😂🤣 I was thinking the same thing
-
Purdue in big trouble. Sneak Rick Mount into the game for some offense?
-
St Peters kid had that board and couldn’t hold it. Instead Purdue gets 2 on the foul. Could have been a back breaker if he keeps it.
-
Gotta like St Peter’s. Could be first 15 seed to make E8.
-
St Peters guards are just faster and quicker than Purdue, and Purdue is playing really bad with missed 3s, turnovers, and bad fouls
This will be a terrible loss for Purdue and confirm the Big 10 stinks
-
Bill Self in a tight one.
-
Lee’s got ice in his veins.
-
St Peters guards are just faster and quicker than Purdue, and Purdue is playing really bad with missed 3s, turnovers, and bad fouls

They’ve beaten a 2 and 7 seed. They’re a good team. I’m sure more than a few people had Kentucky cutting down the nets.
-
St Peters ice at the line

Would love to see Self exit the tourney too.

You are wrong most of the time.
-
If Eder makes 2, you gotta foul and not let Purdue get up a 3
-
Fucking Ivey. What a shot.
-
B1G sucks cock.
-
Wow that was dumb but St Peters got away with it. Should have wrapped up Ivey and not let him get a shot off. He got a great look
-
And with one cock slap, the Big Ten is no more.
-
Hire the St. Peter's coach. He can beat Purdue.
-
You are wrong most of the time.
The Big 10 sucks. Tell me I’m wrong
-
Shaheen Hollaway about to get PAID.

That’s right, I heard today was National Peacock day earlier. This outcome was a lock! Lol

B1G has had a good couple of days in men's hockey, with or without counting ND as part of the B1G.

First 15 seed ever to advance to the Elite 8

If he’s not a candidate for any and all open position in the country, and your first choice, you’re doing it wrong.

Shit, he’s headed to the Knicks! Seton Hall ain’t shit 😂

It's certainly not hard to see why illinois ended up with a big ten title.
That's almost the worst showing possible from a conference that earned a record 9 bids. Only 2 S16 and 0 EE. :-\

Jeez, Courtney Green at UNC vs UCLA. Please screw UNC, Green.

UCLA cheerleaders a big upgrade from the Kansans
-
Not sure I want to watch anymore bball. May just watch women's Stanford Cardinals and their super stud super model Cameron Brink.
Big ten is a joke. Damn Duke. Damn KU. Who cares about Peacocks, Iowa State. Nova and UNC or UCLA are boring. I guess I may just root for Satan from here on out.
-
Was this not the most Purdue tournament performance ever? ROFL.
-
These late games. Woof. Everyone always wants upsets until you have to watch a 10 and 11 playing to go to round of 8.
-
UCLA cheerleaders a big upgrade from the Kansans
UCLA has always had the best looking cheerleaders as far back as I can remember, mid 1960s.

Tyger Campbell makes so many clutch shots.
Get lost Roy Williams
-
Love is out of his mind right now
-
That display by Caleb Love was phenomenal. That reminded me of when Brandon Paul went off on O$U. Just pure 🔥
-
Man fuck UNC
-
Teams left ranked who I want to win it all. From most to least…
1. St. Peter’s
2. Villanova
3. Arkansas
4. Iowa State here if they win tonight. If they lose, then…
4-8. Fuck the rest.
-
Seems acc is better than most people thought.
-
Charlie Moore reminds me of Webster.
-
Iowa State lost two of their last three coming into the tourney by an average of 25. One of them was to a non-tourney team.
Like, fuck them.
But really, fuck Wisconsin for having good metrics but not being actually good at basketball and predictably sucking in the tourney. You lose on your home court to fucking Nebraska with an outright B1G title on the line and still get a 3 seed? Fuck you.
Then these fucks flame out to a team that won two fucking games last year and added a bunch of just dudes.
And fuck Purdue who can’t guard a fucking shadow unless they’re playing Illinois. They looked like a team that had just played four games in four days.
And fuck Illinois who couldn’t hang with a team that lost 5 starters from last season. Once again quickness and athleticism rules the day.
Goddamned Rutgers finished fourth in this league and pretty much sucked ass any time they weren’t at home.
The B1G is soooo far behind the curve of NCAA tournament basketball it’s pathetic. Obviously matchups are supremely important. Some programs are newly healthy and others newly (or continuously) banged up.
But watching these last two tournaments most of the B1G teams don’t even belong on the floor athletically with the rest of the field that makes it to the second weekend. Gonzaga is in the same boat more often than not but they get gifted a protected seed every year.
Also, fuck Duke and UNC.
-
Fuck Guenther for letting Bill Self get away.
-
I mean yeah fuck Gunther for a lot of reasons but there wasn’t anything he could do to keep Self. His hatred of the facilities arms race, however, is unforgivable.
-
I always knew Roy Williams sucked. Hubert has those guys ballin

Underwood has a top shelf staff and has things going in the right direction.

Agree.
I would also add that the coaching chops on a lot of these teams appears to be better.

Not sure that is true. $$$$, the ability to get kids in school using the NCAA metrics, facilities? Isn't the story that he went to Guenther for a raise and Guenther told him to pound salt?
-
Underwood has a top shelf staff and has things going in the right direction.
Hopefully he can get a game plan to beat Purdue and get to the E8 like St. Peter's. But first he needs to actually get to the S16 and stop stroking his own cock by telling us every chance he gets how great the B1G is.
-
Thank you for alerting me to the existence of Cameron Brink.
She's 6-4. That's your alert.
-
Seems acc is better than most people thought.
Not the first year that the non con has led everyone to misunderstand conference strengths. KenPom isn't perfect but had Wosconsin and Rutgers both way lower than the committee which should be a red flag.
-
I'm no Cesar Romero, but that KU cheerleader needs to put more clothes on.
Pics or it didn’t happen.
-
Fuck Guenther for letting Bill Self get away.
This. So much pain and agony could have been avoided. I honestly think Self would have more post-season hardware had he stayed.
-
There’s this myth that somehow Self could’ve/would’ve stayed. Wasn’t happening. He was gone regardless of Guenther.
-
Self was leaving for maybe 5 jobs in all of basketball. One of them came available and was not going to lose a bidding war with us.
The problem isn't Self leaving for a top-5 job. It's that Guenther hired a wanker to replace him who couldn't recruit unless the kid was practically an Illinois fan.

While I don’t think he was the only one, he would’ve/should’ve been the choice. THAT was the mistake.
-
We could've just tried to hire Kruger back and it would've given us a better chance of success.
-
Self was gone no matter what Guenther did. Not interviewing Thad Matta was the bigger crime. He was dying to get hired here. Guenther was too afraid he would move on to another job in a few years just like Self and Kruger did. That’s not good hiring practice in any business.
-

Houston blistering the nets inside the arc but having a little trouble from outside.
Shooting 31% but 0-8 From 3.
Nova shooting 28% and 3-12 from 3.
Houston needs to work on its free shot defense at the half. Nova hitting 10 of 10.
-
Nova shoots like 80% from the FT line as a team, they are a bad match-up for houston to say the least
-
Villanova, Duke, North Carolina, Kansas in the Final 4 will probably be great for ratings but I find it very boring

1:24 to go. Lol.

Sorry, didn't screen cap the larger boned KU cheerleader. Cesar Romero you can find on The Google. He was known for being a good looking man, per Eddie Haskell, before playing The Joker.
-
I feel sorry for anybody who watched that whole game. Brutal.

1:24 to go. Lol.
(https://i.ibb.co/sPn3Cm0/Screenshot-20220326-190516.jpg) (https://ibb.co/0XTJKDg)
An ugly game, possibly the best coach moves on. 83% foul shooting on the season went 15-15 today. Great d for Villanova against a more athletic team.
-
Nova dared them to make threes and they didn’t. They made 6 against us and 1 tonight and plenty of them were wide open. Don’t know why they kept hoisting them when they were so effective scoring off the bounce. Glad they’re going home, I hate watching them play.
-
In case anyone forgot:
FUCK DUKE
-
Duke is gonna win it all and send Ratface into retirement with another chip, aren't they? Because "feel good story." Sickening
-
Let's hope not.

I hope ANYONE except Duke wins it at this point. I’ll root for North Carolina or Kansas if I have to. Let’s hope the Peacocks of St. Peter’s takes out the field.

I'm hoping KU over UNC for the natty. Best of bad options at this point. Great tournament after 1 round tho.

I'll go with the Jesuits.

That we can agree on.

This has to be one of the least talented Kansas teams ever. I don’t see one pro on their team and Miami is just an average team.

Maybe you can take a picture of her and JeffFrank.
They may be one and the same though.

Kevin Harlan, Reggie Miller, and Dan Bonner should be the #1 team at CBS for basketball.

Miami ran out of gas.
-
In honor of that other thread....let's go, cocks!

Miami is cooked
Sebastian, the Miami ibis, has been put in the smoker.
Larranaga in the pregame locker room talk named all the Kansas players and said they'll all take the ball into the paint and that's what KU did, absolutely overpowered Miami.

Boroski may not be a factor in this game, getting way out of hand. And UNC has missed a lot of easy shots.

Bleep you, Roy Williams. Cheatin' rat bastard.

Think St. Peter’s magical run has run out of gas. Pretty predictable. Wishing I’d bet some money on UNC right now. Would love to see St. Peter’s make this a game, but it’s getting away from them early.

The Cocks can't seem to get it up right now.

Yeah, kinda hard to see St. Peter's coming back from this far down.

Gofs going to Frozen Four.

Jay Wright getting 3 titles in 6 years would be an insane run.
If Self wins, I could see him retiring rather than wait for the boom to come down from the NCAA if it does.
K already done.
Hubert Davis/UNC meh. They are probably the least offensive since they would be an underdog winning it as an 8 seed.
-
I feel like an idiot not betting UNC today. St. Peter’s running out of gas was about as predictable as any sporting outcome there could be.
-
Fuck North Carolina. I’d almost rather see Duke win.
-
If it’s rigged, Coach K should win tho. It’s the best storyline for ratings purposes.
I hope it’s Duke-Villanova. Gotta think Duke will be motivated to avenge K’s last home game being a loss to NC.
Nova-KU meh. Not much interest in this game but I’ll root for Wright since seeing dynasties in basketball is rare

I would be concerned about Villanova since they lost that guard to an Achillies injury. Not saying they can't or won't but gonna be tough. They do have one great coach.

They are likely done without him. Plays huge minutes and is key player. This was not the most talented or deep team they have had to begin with.
Very efficient tempo control team with good starting group. Like a very good well coached Wisconsin with some actual athletes.

Good analogy comparing them to Wisky with better athletes. Wright definitely slows this game down. Of course, Self will want to speed the game up and attack the paint. This will be interesting to see which strategy wins out.

Makes sense I think. Went home, will be given plenty of money and a fairly lengthy leash. Louisville is a train wreck and a total rebuild in a tough conference, away from his primary area.

Agree. Good game. Shitload of talent out there. NC is playing really well. Just shows you have to have guards who can get their own shot.

Poor FT shooting (12-20) hurt Duke, but the Blue Devils primarily lost the game by shooting only 5-22 from the 3pt line. North Carolina won despite having a mere 7 assists (on 27 made 2pt & 3pt FGs -- yikes) and only getting 13 minutes and 2 points from its bench. That's not going to cut it against Kansas, especially if Bacot isn't ready to go.

Two cheating blue bloods in the championship game. I wish both could lose. I suppose that's sort of possible. KU wins; then the IARP finally acts and hits them hard. Of course, that's not going to happen.
Good article:
"In October of 2017, North Carolina admitted to academic fraud throughout the athletic department, and the rest of a university that routinely ranks among the best public schools according to the U.S. News college rankings.
UNC’s “out” was that these fraud classes were available to any undergrad, and not just members of the athletic department. As a result, the NCAA did not levy a single penalty."
"In September of 2019, the NCAA alleged that Jayhawks men’s basketball head coach Bill Self and assistant Kurtis Townsend, along with Adidas employees, violated and “blatantly disregarded NCAA” bylaws."
...
"This is how concerned Kansas is about this case: It handed Self a lifetime contract in April of last year."

Fuck the seeding, UNC is a bunch of 4 and 5 star recruits that finally gelled and are playing well.
I know they're a "blue blood" but none of Kansas' rotation players were 5-stars and only two (McCormack and JCL) were top 50. It's very much a championship roster a good high major can have with the right coach and talent development.
If you had told me in 2015 that JCL would be a national title in 2022 I would've been incredibly confused.

I think JCL is going to end up with 173 games played. That's 2nd all time to Bohannon's 179. Lightfoot and Manek are also high on the list.

Congratulations are in order for JCL. 25 years of transferring from college to college finally paid off for him.

How can the president of the NCAA say congratulations and give the NC trophy to a guy that has five level one sanctions against him and being investigated by the FBI… 🤔
Let’s just hope they gotta give this one back eventually.
-
My vote for Player of the Game for Kansas is UNC guard Caleb Love, who shot 5-24 from the field (1-8 from 3pt line) and had 4 turnovers. Shot selection is clearly not his forte and perhaps not even a consideration. He was fortunate that enough went in against Duke but he was way off in this game. Carolina shot an anemic 5-23 from the 3pt line, which was a big reason the Tarheels lost a game despite getting 24 offensive rebounds and hitting 18-22 FTs (+10 made).
Now it's time to focus on college football. Jayhawk fans, better set the alarm clock for November when hoops start up again.

That Braun kid for KU is pretty tough. His older brother turned down our scholarship to walk-on at Mizery. Supposedly he and dad were ready to accept, but mom put a stop to it. Dunno whatever happened. He was supposed to get a Mizzou scholarship as a sophomore.

Well, the last 39 minutes and 40 seconds or so were good ball. The last 3 possessions reminded me of us.
Maybe the last 4. Not sure what KU was thinking on their 2nd to last possession. Running clock? Didn't want to take advantage?

Heartbreaker for North Carolina. I always hate when an underdog team ends up blowing the game. But they got lucky vs Baylor after blowing a 25 point lead. Tonight blew a 16 point lead and lost.

The boys can score some goals. The top 4 offenses made it to Wooster.
#1 Denver vs #4 Sven's team and the #2 Mavs vs the #3 gofs.
The Mavs goal tender holds the NCAA career record in shutouts at 34.
The gofs coach says the Mavs are "a big, strong team", commonly referred to as grown ass men, but that's also the type of team they played getting to the FF.
The Mavs coach is on a streak, just like Custard, with back to back COY. But the gofs coach would be the sentimental favorite after losing his son in a car accident last summer.
-
They are probably grown ass men because they are all 23 years old.
Thanks for the run down, Mn. Games start at 4 CDT. Hope it is a good Frozen 4.

Here you go Mn:
BOSTON — The size of a dog doesn’t matter in a hockey fight.
So don’t tell the scrappy, little University of Denver, forced to balance its athletic budget with roughly 25% of the financial resources as the high and mighty University of Michigan, that an ankle-biter from a liberal arts school can’t take down a big dog from a Power Five conference in the pursuit of a national championship.
Asked for a prediction of a final score in a high-stakes hockey contest between the Pioneers and the Wolverines, DU coach David Carle chuckled, but did not hesitate to offer his opinion.
“We’re going to go for 9-8,” cracked Carle, anticipating a free-wheeling, high-scoring shootout Thursday against Michigan, with the winner advancing to play for the national championship.
As the financial divide between the haves and have-nots in big-time college sports grows into a yawning chasm that can make open competition seem more like a caste system, the Frozen Four is one of few remaining places in the NCAA landscape where we have a chance to tell a Pioneers bite Wolverines story.
Michigan coach Mel Pearson said scouting the Pioneers is “like looking in the mirror … They can score, they can get up and down the rink.”
That’s right about where the similarities stop. The Wolverines are a beast from the Big Ten with a student body of more than 50,000 strong and ridiculous annual athletic expenditures of $180 million. The Pioneers have an enrollment of 12,000 with a sports budget believed to be in the neighborhood of $40 million, and are proudly everything Michigan is not.
“We are very different. Absolutely. That’s college hockey,” Carle said. “College hockey is a really great landscape of diverse schools. And I think that’s great for the student-athletes.”
Unlike other institutions of higher education in our fine state, DU doesn’t need to get its brains beat out in football to feel important in college sports. I don’t know if the Pioneers are smarter than Colorado or Colorado State because they climb into a hockey arena where they can beat anyone in the country. But I’m certain of this: DU hockey is everything that Gonzaga basketball hopes to be when it grows up.
The enduring, romantic appeal of the NCAA basketball tourney is the occasional Cinderella story that brings madness to the big dance. This year, the underdog we fell in love with was St. Peter’s, a commuter school in New Jersey with an academic endowment that falls short of the $86 million contract of Kentucky Wildcats coach John Calipari.
But here’s the dirty, little truth: In hoops, Cinderella almost always gets unceremoniously sent home from the dance before midnight, leaving the championship to be decided by teams with the rich, blueblood heritage of North Carolina or Kansas.
On the other hand, Carle said, “It doesn’t matter what kind of school you are, you can have success in college hockey.”
The real beauty of the Frozen Four? The size of your school doesn’t matter. A passion for hockey counts far more than the financial wherewithal of a university. Building a championship hockey program isn’t cheap, but you don’t have to burn Benjamins in a bonfire, hoping and praying to stay within four touchdowns of Alabama, as is the case in college football.
That’s why the Minnesota State Mavericks, with a school-wide sports budget of approximately $14 million, has a fighting chance against Minnesota from the Big Ten in the nightcap of the semifinals at TD Garden.
“It’s awesome for the sport,” said Pearson, who went to the Frozen Four during his playing days with Michigan Tech, which he fondly describes as a “small school up in the boonies.”
Way back when, Denver and Michigan were neighbors in the same conference before the Pioneers and Wolverines went separate ways. So this will be the 84th time the puck has been dropped between them, but it’s also the first time these two college hockey powers have met since 2002.
That’s a long time. What gives?
It has been suggested to me that the big dog from the Big Ten might not want anything to do with an ankle-biter, as the Power Five school has politely told the Pioneers no thanks when asked for dates during the regular season.
“We’re two great programs. I think what it boils down to is the schedules that we have, both (are) playing real tough schedules all the time,” Pearson said.
“I’d love to play them. Without saying anything negative against anybody else, I really love the style (the Pioneers) play the game … They like to play with skill, they like to get up and down the ice. We’re in the entertainment business.”
There was a kernel of numerical significance in Carle’s prediction of a 9-8 score against Michigan in the semifinals. The two hockey programs with the most national championships in NCAA history?
That score is: Michigan 9, DU 8.
Time for the Pioneers to get even?
In college hockey, all that matters is the size of the fight in the dog.
