They're not as good as their record... Outscoring doesn't work well in the playoffs.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Mar 11, 2005 -> 04:49 PM) I think they get blown out of the water myself.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Mar 12, 2005 -> 01:15 AM) Uh, my question is why didn't the ref right in front of the rim call him for the foul? The ref all the way on the other side of the court did. It was pretty much a bull s*** call. Exactly.

Tyson coulda touched the top of the board on that last rebound...made up for the ball that slipped through his hands before...

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Mar 12, 2005 -> 01:12 AM) EDDY YOU STUPID ASS MOTHER f***ER YOU JUST FOULED HIM! GOD DAMN YOU! Uhh...he was under the basket...good foul... Nice board, Tyson.

Blown out of the water.

BEN GORDON!!! Might have been a bit too soon, but he's so f***ing clutch...

REBOUND! Are tyson's hands cursed?

They shoot a lot of jump shots. I'll give Eddy the benefit of the doubt and say he gets at least 7 boards.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Mar 11, 2005 -> 04:57 PM) Nearly .700 winning percentage. Nah not that good. It came off wrong. I meant they're not THAT good... They're not as great as their record might dictate, just like we're not that bad that anybody can be so sure we're gonna get blown out of the water...

QUOTE(qwerty @ Mar 11, 2005 -> 04:49 PM) I think they get blown out of the water myself. Why? They're not that good... Maybe Eddy wakes up. He can dominate against that team. They'll need to slow it down.

f*** YOU DEPAUL!!!

Is there a late-night replay?

Looks like Seals is game-time and will give it a go... Let's go DePaul. Avenge that s***ty one-point overtime at UAB loss...

I'm assuming that's just si's version...

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Mar 10, 2005 -> 10:45 AM) I hope ND gets in if we don't. There's been a team from the state like every year since 1970 IIRC, and that's in major jeopardy this year. Looks like west virginia takes their place with this win over bc...

No DePaul play-by-play? If they don't beat UAB next game, even I don't think they deserve a tourney bid... They better win these next 2, at least.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 12:24 PM) I have some friends that offered, including a group of 4 girls that live in an apt, i wouldn't be surprised if they won. Did they include pictures?

So a bunch of suburban white kids bought it 'cause it's the cool thing to do... Big deal. I'm gonna go put on my north face sweatshirt/jacket and a dirty, torn cubs hat with sandals and get me a copy right now...

How about in the Gage Park/Brighton Park area? I recently turned 21 and transferred back home from FSU...

What about a question mark tat on the neck?

QUOTE(Fotop @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 01:57 PM) Let me expound a bit.... If a big conference team is not .500 in their conference I feel as though they probably shouldn't be in unless there are some real extenouating circumstances. I agree with you on this Rex, but take ND for example this year (9-7 BE, 70something RPI) they played UCONN, Pitt, Syracuse, Villanova, G-town all TWICE this year in conference play as well as BC once. They finished with an above .500 record even with that brutal conf. schedule yet we're going to sweat it out come sunday. Why? friggin' RPI and a non-bloated record (17-10). These are the types of teams that should be in, even though I may be biased...but of those 10 losses they've come at the hands of: Syr x2, Pitt x2, Uconn, Gtown, Villanova, Depaul, Michigan (only bad loss, but a road loss), Ucla. As for Sleepywhitesox's post, my point was that teams like Gonzaga and SIU are gaining NOW because of the inherent advantages in the system. However, Gonzaga has been going at it for god knows how long before any of this was in place. They're the prime example of building a solid program in a mid-major conference and then causing some noise in the tourney...then after a few years of riding their auto-bid, they earned the respect of possibly receiving an at-large. SIU is the same as well, they won the MVC a few years ago (auto-bid), made it to the sweet sixteen and now are gaining the respect their program (which has been built up) deserves. Point being, programs need to be built from the ground up...all schools have experienced this. As a mid-major you can't expect everything to be handed to you just because you're the "little guy". Don't get me wrong, I love the whole David v. Goliath thing in the NCAA tourney. Bryce Drew hitting a last second three or Kent state making a deep run give the tournament some great history. It's just that auto-bids are good enough to achieve this. We don't need whacked out RPIs as well. Yeah, that DePaul win was sweet... I see your point, but that's the way it always has been. Power conference teams HAVE gotten the benefit of the doubt. We wouldn't be talking about more mid-majors getting in if there were so few quality big conference teams taking care of business this year, and we still don't know if there will be many mid-majors getting in. We're basically just assuming they will because of the RPI, which obviously has its problems. Look at it this way: In the same way that mid-majors should earn their ticket by paying their due, major conference teams should earn their ticket by not leaving any doubt and taking care of business with the schedule that they have. You can't fault mid-majors for winning games with the schedules they have either. It's as simple as this; take care of business and you're in.
