pisces if you were able to see the first half of the louisville wvu game today you would see why im so high on the cards

I listened to some of it on the radio. I'll straight up admit to you...they're fire as hell. They get points off the bench like it ain't nothin. If this team had D. Caracter with a straight head, no one would beat them. That said, they're fine without him. If L'ville beats U Conn by 10 or more, I'll go ahead and crown them ahead of OU. WVU is a good team and shot horribly, but L'ville was just strong in every area of the game. No, I cannot blame you.

Anyway, how do y'all feel about LSU playing a one loss Utah State? That's the sort of team I would rather not play.

I remember probably around 2001 or 2002 we lost to them in the first round as a 4 seed. Really has nothing to do with now, but I guess what I'm saying is I would not take that program lightly.

The Big 10's almost like the ACC was in football this year. A lot of good/solid teams (depth) but no real great teams.

Yeah, but the thing that fools people about them is that they beat Utah by 2 pts and lost to BYU. Aside from that, no one impressive has been taken down by them.

They'll get an 11, as opposed to a 13 or 14 simply because of their record. Nevada was like this a coupleof years ago. I think we can take them. If my bracket was the real one, I'd feel pretty good if I were an LSU fan.

myth. they play d, its just a matter of getting everyones head in the right spot

I think you and I have the poorest communication of any two posters on this site.

D didn't stand for defense. It stood for Derrick.

It's all good. As much as we've butted heads, you're a basketball fan just like Stro, Zealot, S, Buckeye, etc. etc. and I totally dig that.

I'm not drunk. My head hurt from yelling at the game so I took a few lortabs and downin em with Coke Zero. So...I'm definitely having fun on TD.com

there is 122k still out in louisville


i didnt lose it during the wind storm, so i guess this is their way of paying me back

Looking at your team a lil closer, man...it's gonna be hard to leave you guys out of the tourney.

Quality wins over Miami, Notre Dame, Butler (nice one),2 over Michigan...that looks very good even though most were in December.

That win over Houston Baptist...wow!

The key for OSU in not so much getting in, but getting a better seed, is to not get swept by Illinois, steal a win at Purdue, and not slip up and lose to Wiscy or Northwestern. Ya took care of business today by beating the botttom feeder Hoosiers. By the way, does Tom Crean wish he was back in the sunny state of Wisconsin or what?

Yeah, IU is right there...I agree. At some point, though, wheh does "risk vs. reward" enter a coach's mind?

Crean is probably making a lot more money now with IU than he would at Marquette had he won back to back national titles. I never thought Crean was THAT proven, either. I know he's a disciple of Tom Izzo and many "experts" rave about him. Nonetheless, he went to a final 4 and that was about it. He lost in the first round in '06 to Bama.

Also, Marquette isn't small fries and mediocre university. This is a school with great tradition and a tree of excellent head coaches from McGuire to Lard arse. They moved to the Big East and competed. D Wade is an ambassador for them and probably a huge recruiting tool. They are like many Big East schools who have nothing but basketball, so their fanbase is very loyal.

Indiana, along with Kentucky, UCLA, North Carolina, Duke, and U Conn, has ridiculous expectations. It's "on top of the world" when you win a c'ship. Mike Davis couldn't hack it, after nearly winning it all. Kelvin Samson had to cheat in virtually fricking public to think he could get the team to be what it once was. Now, Crean must endure Samson's bullshite and hope he can steer the ship around. If he cannot get it done in 2 years (next and the year after), good-bye. Whereas, at Marquette, he'd be good for practically life.

How much more is he making now at IU by the way?
