fathom Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Mar 16, 2008 -> 11:04 PM) I personally hate it, it's much more fun to have the mid majors play the big boys. That's why imo you didn't have as many upsets last season in the first round. The POD system has eliminated the early upsets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasywheels121 Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 Finally, the topic of Indiana has been brought up with Knight. I wanted to see what would happen with that. Dicky V was campaigning for him to be the coach here again next year; Knight was just glaring "WTF?" the whole time. Quality stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Well Brand is gone; so's Mike Davis, and the Sampson debacle's almost over. Only problem... Knight would gut the program. Half those kids would transfer because they'd never make it academically or under his totalitarianist schema. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 (edited) Well Vitale also wanted to coach with Knight, and have Digger Phelps too. Im pretty sure Knight was like "WTF why would I ever coach with you, your an idiot" but thats just my guess. Vitale and Knight couldnt agree less on how basketball should be played.

I don't want it to happen, nor should it/will it. Also, the current school president McRobbie was hired by Brand; that's enough reason for him to not want to come here.

I think that Vitale and Digger have been "riding the comfort line" with Knight ever since he agreed to the analyst job. They're friends of his, so they try and get him uncomfortable on national tv on purpose just to get him upset or make him sweat. Basically, they're f***ing with him for the hell of it.

Rex Hudler Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 A few observations.... 1. If I were an Illini fan, NOW is when I would be laughing my ass off @ IU. IU has not played well so they have no one to blame but themselves, but damn that was rough. 2. Is anyone besides me intrigued by a potential matchup between Wisconsin & Georgetown? 3. Tennessee will struggle w/ Butler but still win. 4. The committee should have found a way to get Georgia a Fri/Sun spot. 5. Pitt/Mich St in a 2nd round game is a great matchup. 6. Drake/UConn is interesting too. 7. Pardon my ignorance but what is CBI?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlliniKrush Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 IU announces this committee search thing right before the tournament starts for what reason? And who the hell are half these people on there? Seems bizarre to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bracket discussion is ok in my book. It's not the same as "I want the White Sox to do well, but need Mags to hit 3 home runs...FANTASY TEAM!".
