5fouls

Do you truly think that would be the 'reason' IU would have no interest in Calipari? Or, are you willing to consider the fact that there could be multiple factors why he would not be hired, that are both beyond what you perceive his 'bigness' may be, and that those reasons have legitimacy behind them.

Hmmm. This seems to imply my love of Montana St. sports is not real. Here's all I have to say about that. Go.........whatever the heck their mascot is! I'm a true fan.

I might be wrong, but I believe that 'photo' was making the rounds in the first half. So, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that they did not know it was a 39 point loss at the time. I personally feel that most of the fouls called on USU were legit. That said, this 'photo' is nothing to get worked up about. You might be making it a bigger deal than it needs to be.

I would cease to be an IU fan at that point. I would rather have Archie or Sampson back.

I'm too short, old, slow, and unathletic to play B1G basketball. That shouldn't make me free game on a message board for people to question my dedication to stay in shape. Some people just have a different level of natural athleticism and ability than others.

This Bakich guy needs to get a new last name. I keep misreading it as 'Dakich', and am at risk of losing my breakfast every time that happens.

The men's bracket is going better than the women's bracket for the Big Ten.

Out of curiosity, are you implying he did not put in the work, and if so, what are you basing that on?

Going to defend the Boilers a bit here. According to KenPom, your observation is invalid. Including the Boilers, all 4 of the remaining teams in Purdue's region are among the Top 12 in KenPom. Take out Auburn, who lost, and that's 4 of the Top 11 remaining. No other region can make that claim. I'm all for making fun of the Boilers, but claims such as the NCAA is handing them a championship belong on one of those third-rate tv conspiracy shows. It could air right after the Elvis and JFK are alive and living together on an island episode. If the Boilers win the whole thing, and I dont think they will, they will have deserved it just as much as Indiana did in '76, '81, and '87

That's what this does. We also sold $8,000 worth of t-shirts to Louisville last night. Think about that! Honest to God. They buy the t-shirts and they put the credit card and... Louisville, Louisville, Louisville. It wasn't the same person. I don't know, next year when Louisville and Kentucky play, I don't know if everyone is going to show up in their Oakland shirt or what? I have no idea, but it's crazy to think about."

KenPom may know what it's doing. Here are 13 of the Sweet 16. For the record, San Diego St is 20, Clemson is 23, and N.C. State is the outlier at 52.

Houston better hope that this doesn't go into a 2nd OT. Cougars just put in a walk-on since they have so many foul out.

They are #1 in Kenpom for D, but they have not looked like it tonight.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is why you don't go to bed early in March.

Yes. They blew it. And, I actually posted that when they still had a 5 point lead.

Houston may still win tonight, but Duke might just be the favorite in the Sweet 16.

Houston is a cat and they have a fur-ball caught in their throat right now.

Boo Buie's career is over.

You know you're taking your bracket contest too seriously when you find yourself rooting for both Purdue and Houston (w/Kelvin Sampson) on the same day. I'm ashamed. Forgive me Father, for I have sinned.

i didn't know that either until D.B. Cooper posted it on a message board.

Not a good day for the Drew family.

Grand Canyon flaming out.

Is that @bluegrassIU squealing in the background at the Bama GCU game?

Wait.....Edey's slept with 20,000 women?

I think UConn is a better team.
