Indiana beat UofM, so Id like them to do well
Indiana is fighting with Purdue for 5th place
OSU lost to UofM, battling for a 1 seed, need UofM to win more.
A Purdue win does neither team any good, other than the hate for Michigan. But that is cheering with heart, not head lol.
Goodluck trying to convince OSU fans to root for UM in conference. OOC you might have a chance, but in conference, no chance in hell.Laley23;1095815 wrote:But, best of both worlds.

Hope IU still has a little magic left in them. They are going to need it. As is always the case with MSU, rebounding will play big in this game. Zeller is going to have to have a good game at the very least for IU to win.Laley23;1099564 wrote:Big game tonight in Bloomignton. Indiana could use the big win, MSU can clinch the outright title (I know Buck fans will be on the Hoosier bandwagon tonight
This picture, at 5pm, showing the students are finally being allowed in. Started lining up at daybreak. Should be a rowdy crowd. I so wish IU did General Admission when I was a student. But Im glad they finally went to it. Gets the best, most dedicated and loudest fans closest.
We shoot very well at home. Id be more surprised if MSU won handily than if IU won handily. Both teams will play hard tonight, should be a great game.centralbucksfan;1099579 wrote:Hope IU still has a little magic left in them. They are going to need it.

I tried to tell you VBall. I thought you might be more optimistic with OSU needing the IU win.Laley23;1090643 wrote:They still have only that one lose at home though. I mean, the line is likely to be under 3 pts. At least, thats my initial betting instinct. They beat U of M, OSU and UK at home. UK was playing as well then as they are now...its their only loss. MSU is playng very well, but they can be beaten on the road. That environment will be tough. MSU has had issues in Bloomington the last 3 years as it is, when IU sucked a dick.

MR. BOOKMAKER. We are four days away from the release of Mark Titus' book, Don't Put Me in Coach, and Grantland featured an excerpt on Ohio State's Final Four run from 2006.A sampling:
[INDENT]After we lost by nine in a hard-fought game, I walked off the court with a hanging head as orange and blue confetti fell from the rafters and thousands of Florida fans did their Gator Chomp. We came so close to achieving something I had dreamed about my entire life, but we were stopped short by a team featuring a guy whose ponytail looked like a wad of pubes. It was, without a doubt, the most demoralizing feeling of my life.
[/INDENT]I'm halfway through an advanced copy of the book (we'll have a full review on Tuesday) and it's easily one of the funniest books I've read in a long time. The opening paragraph references morning wood on a road trip in Windsor and from there it's one story after another about Thad Matta's sense of humor, Greg Oden's overwhelming whiteness and wet jumpers.
Teams need to get physical with him. He is soft and doesn't like contact.Prescott;1102995 wrote:Tim Hardaway may have found his shot.Over his last 5 games he is 24/43 from the field and 10/24 behind the arc. If he stays consistent with these percentages the Wolverines will be a tough out.

They didnt go unbeaten. So that isnt impressive. At all.wildcats20;1105137 wrote:Pssh.

I mean, money well wasted.reclegend22;1105171 wrote:Duke outscored all of Asia by 60. Top that.
The only way that stat will come in handy, however, is if Duke somehow plays Shanghai in the Sweet 16 instead of a more athletic nightmare team. F*ck.
