...but now an all Big 10 final can finally be realized....both of the the Big 10 teams are dangerous and capable of winning. Should be a great final four.

Haha...I don't cry over basketball. Sorry to burst that bubble. I'm disappointed, but at the beginning of the season if anyone had told me this team would make the Elite Eight and it would take a double overtime to send them home...well, I would have been thrilled. We're good, but inconsistant. That can probably be attributed to our youth.
I'm far more pissed off that storms have been killing the HD feed of the games today, so I don't have a decent recording of either game. :/
Rondo sure looked like a freshman in overtime. Dribbled away the clock at the end of the first overtime. Dribbled away the clock twice in the second overtime. Costly turnover on the break. I was really suprised that Tubby had both Hayes and Sparks on the bench to start the second overtime. That woudln't have been my strategy.Cubsfan23 said:all i have to say is I'm glad we didn't get Rondo........

Good luck stopping Garcia
Yo momma. This isn't the Final Four anymore... it's the Big Ten Invitational now.
Just kidding -- good luck
Sorry dude, it just ain't happening. I bet your mommy'll hold the tissue when you turn into a crybaby after Illinois beats your precious Cardinals and you need to blow your nose.Cubsfan23 said:So far this tourney, Louisville has a +46 rebounding margin

Btw, how can a Chicagoan not like Illinois?
Jesus, I was going crazy watching the end of that MSU/Kentucky game. I was going to completely flip out if MSU lost. That was too tense. The end of regulation was played way too conservatively. The game could have been sealed if they were a bit less passive.
Go MSU! I've been very, very pleased that they've come together pretty well during the tournament and haven't had any huge gaping flaws that have sometimes emerged during big games.
Also, I gotta give a shout for the MSU women. Hopefully they keep on trucking too!

I know right! I mean, Stoudamire just lit us up from beyond the arc.
3pt defense is one of the things i'm least worried about. Have you seen how the Illini's big three play D?

Dude, Illinois is still the #1 team in the country with a ridiculous record of 36-1. And here's another newsflash: no matter what bullshit stat you can spit out, they're still far-and-away better than anyone Louisville has played this year. Quit acting like your team didn't just squeak by West Virginia. It's gonna be a close game, with A LOT of orange and blue in the stands.
