my wife was going nuts after the Iowa game, literally yelling they can’t keep us out of the tournament me:
I don’t get why Sparty are like 4 levels above us in bracketology but whatever Really rooting for Jake at this point, him inheriting a broken team and getting this level of buyin is crazy, not to mention being so much better in-game than Holtmann(not a difficult feat but still)
Illinois favored by 4.5 over the Bucks today...but, the Bucks are hot and nobody likes it when the Bucks are hot
Seems like these are the 3 bubble scenarios: 1. Lose today: 90% out 2. Win today, lose tomorrow: 50/50, maybe leaning out based on yesterday's results. 3. Win today, win tomorrow 90% in 2 and 3 only really apply if Nebraska beats IU. An IU win does nothing for our resume. If IU wins we might have to run the table in the BTT.
I hate conference tournaments for one big leagues so much. One seed loses and your season is irrelevant.
Man... Deibler has done a great job as interim but I just don't think you can hire a Holtmann assistant after you fired him midseason. Go get May, then lure Deibler back from whatever mid major job he gets after this season if he is a bust.
Agreed....and let's be real...if that's the "leak" it's pretty much already been decided that it's gonna be May.
Barring a crazy NCAAT run, I don't think you can make Diebler the full time coach. See if you can get him to stick around with May.
Not sure how the search is at its final stages unless Bjork offered May a huge deal and just waiting for their season to end. A lot of openings this year his agent can use.
I don’t know shit about shit, but if you kept Holtman’s garbage can ass for fear of losing the recruits from the last two classes, Deibler’s on court production, OSU roots, and familiarity with the team could keep most of those same kids you were afraid of losing from transferring out.
Someone asked earlier why you still can watch the basketball games…this is why. It makes the do or die ones that much better. What a turn of events. I got the Airplay going from the pool on the TV. The Bucks are hot
Lucky this is close with the amount of just horrible shots I have no earthly idea what Dale Bonner was trying Need a Battle 2nd half
I watch very little basketball… but my god is it almost completely unwatchable, damn near everything is a foul. The offensive players can just essentially charge and flail into a defender at any time and it’s a foul nearly every time. I just don’t get it or understand how defenders are supposed to do anything
The college game comes down to foul trouble way too often. Hasn’t changed since Oden getting fucked by fouls in their tourney run. Just got to buckle in and power thru it.
Ok, so this call just now… Shannon just charges through the osu guy.. like uh ok… there was one earlier I think on Okporo and he was standing there and the Illini guy was just flailing his elbows and someone got the foul. like wtf if the defender to do?
