Chisoxfn Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 If Iowa wins one game in the Big 10 tourney, than I think they deserve a 3 or at worse a 4. We've beaten more top 25 teams than almost any team in the country and are 11th in RPI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 NIU wins at Western Michigan today to win the MAC West outright and earn a bye and #2 seed in the MAC Tourney. Man is the state of Illinois having a hell of a year in college hoops. The Illini are in, either SIU and Bradley should both be in, Loyola had their best season in ages, making the semi's in the Horizon league, and NIU is having their best season in ages. In fact, I think some new NIT rule means we are just about automatically in there if we don't win in Cleveland since we won the division of our league. Hopefully we win the tourney and just get in anyways though, 4 Illinois teams in the dance would be great to see. Oh yeah, I didn't see a second of the Illini game, but they won at MSU and scored a lot of points, so I'm going to assume they played a hell of a game. Even though Illinois blew multiple chances to win the the league, 25-5 is damn good and a #2 or #3 seed in the dance is also damn good. Let's see what happens in Indianapolis first though.

whitesoxfan101 Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Wish I could have seen that Winthrop game. That team has dominated all season, including a win at Marquette (a 20 win big dance team from the Big East). NIU played them on the road in the brackbuster, and lost by 1 point in double OT due to one of the great chokes ever, although it was a great game. Winthrop's only issue this year had been that Costal Carolina team they played today, who had dominated them twice this year. I was surprised to see Winthrop found a way to win today, but it's cool. They could be one of those #12 or #13 seeds that scares the s*** outta somebody in the first round (which they did last year to Gonzaga IIRC).

Winthrop is a solid team and definitely will at worst scare someone next week. Besides Winthrop; Penn, Murray State, and Belmont have also earned automatic bids so far.

whitesoxfan101 Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Yeah Winthrop and Murray State both have recently scared big name teams in the 1st round, I expect the same from them this year. I know nothing about Penn or Belmont, and will therefore assume both suck because it takes a lot for me to know nothing about your team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 UNC burns 7 seconds with good ball movement before getting it to Tyler the Great with 10 seconds left. And the kid sinks a pair. And a nice cheap shot by Dockery there, showing Duke's true sore loser colors. Well done UNC, f*** Duke. I hope they enjoy their early exit from the dance.

But if they falter again in the ACC tourney, someone like GW, OSU, or Gonzaga could sneak up and steal the last 1 seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
