I gave my reasons. Take it for whatever you want. It's my opinion, you know, something that can't be wrong.

If Indiana loses one more game, they're out of the NCAA tournament. My opinion. Can't be wrong.
Lol give me a break.
Minnesota is a lock

Technically you can be wrong if they lose to Purdue then lose in the B1G tournament and get in though right?

Wisconsin looking like a #52 seed tonight at Mich St.
Adreian Payne just tried to dunk, appeared to land on his head....I yelled as I thought he was dead for about 1 1/2 seconds and then he rolls, gets the loose ball and calls a timeout....unfreakingbelievable! (replay showed he landed on his back but still ridiculous. Coach Izzo jumped up and hung his arms around his neck in excitement.
Izzo is a great coach (don't care a ton for him though) and I never root for Mich State but I love that Payne kid. I hope my kid grows up and plays as hard as he does.

That seems to be said often whenever Wisconsin is the foe! Their style is just plain ugly. An opponant can try to speed the game up a bit but then it seems like it doesnt come in the flow of the game and forced.se-alum;1402408 wrote:Some rough looking basketball being played in East Lansing tonight.

I'm curious when was the last time that two ranked teams playing each other had that many white guys on the floor at once.Ironman92;1402416 wrote:White Guys Rule!!!

Butler - Gonzaga earlier this season would be the best bet.

If that's OSU's bracket, I'd be incredibly happy. Florida is the only team that scares me that tournament and they aren't even that great. That's an easier road as a 3 seed then it has been as a 1 seed in past times.

At any point in time last year Indiana had 4 white guys on the floor, sometimes 5...and that was BEFORE scrubs lol. So if they played a ranked team that also had 5, there is your answer lol. But I dont know if they did.Terry_Tate;1402705 wrote:Butler - Gonzaga earlier this season would be the best bet.
Combination of:
-Roth
-Elston
-Sheehey
-Pritchard
To go along with Zeller and Hulls.

I'd imagine Duke vs. Gonzaga or Duke vs. Wisconsin would be a good guess. Duke played each of those teams in the non-conference in 2009-10 early in the year with a combination of Jon Scheyer, Kyle Singler, Brian Zoubek, Miles Plumlee and Mason Plumlee on the floor a majority of the time.Fly4Fun;1402607 wrote:I'm curious when was the last time that two ranked teams playing each other had that many white guys on the floor at once.
Another guess might be Saint Mary's versus Gonzaga at some point over the past few years. Or BYU vs. a ranked Anglo-Saxon team after their one black guy was kicked off the team for sex.

On that note, Wisconsin at 25 and IU at 17 last year. Wisconson only played I think 2 black guys all game lol. IU played 3. I think 17 guys played (Wisconsin only played 8 I know and it was a close game so I assume IU only went with their standard 9 that game). So, 12 out of 17 players were white...Id venture you got 9/10 on the court at the same time.

You wouldn't see that many white guys at a Klan rally. Lol. That's impressive. I got lambasted for posting this "stat" here last year, but Duke's championship roster in 2010 only had three black guys on the whole team (and Andre Dawkins played very little). Ten players were white. And all the fans were Chinese lol. I said it then and I will say it again, I don't think you will see another national championship team with that type of demographical makeup unless Butler or Gonzaga cuts down the nets. I mean that is crazy.Laley23;1402761 wrote:On that note, Wisconsin at 25 and IU at 17 last year. Wisconson only played I think 2 black guys all game lol. IU played 3.

The IU at Mich game will show alot about how far they are able to go in the tournament. On the road, after an embarassing loss at home (not because it was OSU..they are a good team, but becuase they played listless, with no energy and the whole postgame cutting down the nets etc) so they should come out focused and energized. I wont go so far to say taht they have to win the game to make us believe they have a shot, but they must go to Crisler Arena and play inspired basketball. If not then I think we saw a team that peaked a little too soon.

That's because he had them seeded way too low before. Also, check his teams that are currently outside looking in. No way Minnesota is missing the tournament. That bubble is pathetic. The last 4 out are a combined 3-20 against the top 50.gorocks99;1402667 wrote:Lunardi bumped the Gophers up to a 9 seed in his latest bracket. http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/bracketology

It wouldn't surprise me to see Minnesota make the sweet 16 especially if either Duke or Gonzaga is the #1 seed in their region.Mulva;1402864 wrote:That's because he had them seeded way too low before.

IU didn't play listless against OSU. Oladipo and Zeller getting in foul trouble helped OSU the first half, but it was a heck of a game with both teams playing hard. I don't think the UM game has much of an impact on how far IU will go. If IU plays their game, they should make a deep run into the tourney. They're are very few teams in the country capable of putting the perimeter pressure on IU like OSU did, which was the difference in the game.thavoice;1402833 wrote:The IU at Mich game will show alot about how far they are able to go in the tournament.

In case you missed it, Duke already beat Minnesota this year by 18 points and is 2-0 against the Big Ten. You act as if Duke can't beat any teams from the Big Ten. Please.sleeper;1402873 wrote:It wouldn't surprise me to see Minnesota make the sweet 16 especially if either Duke or Gonzaga is the #1 seed in their region.
Duke's also arguably playing its best basketball of the year right now with Ryan Kelly back.
