Need to learn how to blow a 18 point halftime lead? Watch FSU basketball. It's a 7 point game with 4 minutes to go. It's been as low as 4. I pray to God that we lose this game. Ham would have to be gone? Eh, who am I kidding, TK Wetherell is an idiot.

Unnamed source says IU is most likely to suspend Sampson now with the expectation that he'll be terminated in the near future after a more detailed investigation is completed.

 

hmm. that sounds about right, although it won't help the program to have that kind of ambiguity lingering into the summer. may be unavoidable, though.

At least your team had scored 18 points by the half. :ph34r:

 

NU and Iowa taking throwback night to a new level with a 17-15 halftime score.

Nice win for IU, too many turnovers but with EJ & DJ they match up with anybody with against anybody. My boy E'twaun shot poorly, as did others but they need E'twaun to knock down a few at least, with Purdue having no real inside threat at all.

 

IU is a tough team to look at they seem to be as tough as anyone in a matchup, but the only two big wins have come this week at home, while dropping one to the other challenge of Wisconsin. The confrence schedule limits their tests on the road, so far only Wisconsin, which they lost, would qualify as a TOUGH road test.

Wtf was that Drake? Way to blow it at home to a mediocre team (Bradley). That was embarrassing for them.

 

They have the MVC wrapped up, but the NCAA is looking for any bad loss for Drake to lower their seed in the tourney, I'm betting.

Well Drake is only playing for seeding at this point. So ya, that hurts but it doesn't kill them.

 

Also, Bradley is 14 and 7(and one of those losses he only played 12 minutes cause he was hurt) when their best player is in the lineup, so they're not fantastic but they're better than mediocre.

Bradley is a VERY dangerous team with Daniel Ruffin. That guy is a machine, and he makes that whole team go!

Brian Carlwell has left Illinois' basketball team and will seek a transfer. Really too bad what has happened to him. He had a ton of potential coming out of HS but between the accident and the injuries this year he has actually regressed. I hope he does well somewhere else.

i'll give fathom credit for calling this a long time ago. i disagreed at the time but he was right.

 

it is unfortunate and i wish carlwell the best. this makes the team even more thin up front next year, which really does not help. it does help to explain the continued recruiting of bigs.

some blame goes his way. they've been trying to redshirt him for two years and he kept refusing. Bruce has essentially told him you're not playing, so...

 

 

Edit: And what sucks is that Odon used to say that Carlwell was the most difficult player to go up against. That's how much potential he had.

Oden actually said Cole Aldrich was the best defender he played against.

I'm still going with Drake as the favorites.

 

 

I really think all three schools from Illinois will be the teams to beat in the tournament. I think the potential ISU/SIU game in the semis, could be the best game in the tourney. I really think SIU/ISU will win the MVC tourney.
