Really excited for the tournament. Saturday should be an excellent day of basketball, especially if the top seeds hold. The games would certainly rival the excitement of the Final Four games.

Hell, Friday will be a great day of games. Both early games have a ton of potential to be classics when you have Indiana vs. Ill or Minn (who've both beaten them this year) and the 4-5 match-up (assuming lightning doesn't strike twice with Penn State vs. Michigan).

With the way Purdue is playing they could make a good game with Ohio st

I voted for Purdue to win it all. As crazy as this season has been, we may as well have a non-qualifier sneak into the tourney and screw an otherwise deserving team. I would love it to see Kentucky forced to do the play-in game.

Kentucky sucks but they will make the tournament because they are Kentucky. :thumbdown:

Minnesota erased a 9 point deficit, and we now have a close game. Minny up 2.

This game was awful for 35 minutes. Then both teams started to play. Heck of a finish coming up. Law of Gus never dissapoints!

Brandon Paul...what a shot, what a performance. That was truly Kemba-esque!

Glad its Illinois. IU with a chance to redeem themselves.

Matta could take a pointer from Groce in last second situations...put the ball in your best player's hands!

Because Tubby is a rancid pile of shit. That's how. Great inbounds plays.

The end to that Illinois/Minnesota game was great... you have to love a game that comes down to the last possession with Gus Johnson.

Penn State is playing with some confidence against Michigan to start out the game, can lightning strike twice?

Early time out by Michigan after an 8-3 lead.

Penn State is making sure to feed their big men early.

Penn State got out to a 14-3 lead, now UM is making some buckets and look like their intensity has picked up.

14-12 after a 9-0 run.

Minnesota might still be in, but they needed that win to solidify it. I don't see how you can put Minnesota in over the Illini; book it.

Big Ten with 9 teams? I think both are deserving for sure.
