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.
When it comes to those douches, there's no other way. I could give a shit less if they ever win

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.

Wow, Minny didnt even try. Easiest road win for the Hoosiers in a long time. I was hoping Minny would blow a lead and then crumble versus IU and they did just that.
Either way, good win. On to MSU and Purdue to end the year, both at home. Chance for 24-7 (11-7).

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.

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.

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.

Draymond is a 1 man wrecking crew rght now. IU is attacking and gettng to the line though, and have the lead early 2nd half

Indiana is gettin to the line at will it seems like, and MSU is shooting pretty bad. This is a solid game by IU, especially Zeller

Well this opens the door for the Buckeyes and Wolverines to get a share of the title.

Zeller was huge. Oladipo and Zeller with phenomenal defense tonight, and Watford crashed the boards.
MSU, or should I say, Draymond Green faught hard. It was just not meant to be. Assmebly Hall magic is back. Beat #1, #2 and #5 in one year. Awesome.
Draymond is, by far, the best player in the B1G this year. First Team AA easily, imo.

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.

Another good win for IU at home. Certainly helps the Bucks although I am not too optimistic they can beat MSU at their place. Give MSU credit for their season. But they have chinks in the armor. They were LUCKY to beat Minny last week. Now IU spanks them.

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.

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.

FWIW,
Jay Williams says Shaka and Chris Collins are his replacement predictions for Weber at Illinois.

Indiana outscored the rest of the state by 78 pts this year (Evansville, Butler, Notre Dame and Purdue x2).

Also, is that like 7 or 8 games? I honestly dont know, but they have 4 teams from Carolina in the ACC alone.

Duke outscored all of Asia by 60. Top that. (The Blue Devils toured China and the UAE over the summer for those not familiar.)
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.
