now that i had a chance to sleep on it, this loss is put in a little more perspective. i talked to my wisconsin and mich. st. friends and we are all happy that we can tell dicky v. and all his friends at espn to shove it.

on that note, i have family ties with arizona (not arizona st. who we hate) and i was really excited that they won. again, another one the ‘experts’ thought was a bad pick. guess they proved they belong in the tournament.

I am just happy to not have to watch the Louisville game Sunday.
And Jon Diebler needs an offensive game! Standing outside the three point line all game long doesn’t count in college basketball.

@monkey – Normally, I’d get on your case about being down on the Buckeyes, but I can’t here. That was painful. Not a lot of positives to glean from that game.

@Ken – it frees up the next 4+ months (except for the Cavs)

sportsMonkey, I agree with your assessment. Pretty painful. At least Louisville won’t beat us by 30. And to think that easrlier this afternoon, I was ragging a business associate from IL on how the Illini sucked. This sort of frees up the weekend.

Pathetic. Worst example of basketball I’ve seen in years. Both teams.

That ~8 min period in the 1st where the two teams combined for like 7 points was like watching paint dry. And it wasn’t good defense, either – just terrible b-ball.

Pathetic. Loisville will win by 30.

terrible…

we got tired at the end. evan turner looked like he was dragging his way down the court. we should have won in regulation, the ref’s missed a call there.

terrible…

@lancelott – Sorry to hear you aren’t able to see the Buckeyes, but you aren’t missing much. It’s a fairly sloppy game. Diebler hasn’t hit a shot and it’s a turn over fest. Hopefully they’ll clean up their act before too long.

Lundquist and Rafferty are calling this game, they’ve been fairly pro-OSU.

they are only showing the mich st. game here… not so bad but the announcers are clearly anti big-ten.

that being said, the big ten is doing much better than the pundits predicted. lets hope mich and ohio st keep the wins going (i picked florida st so no love for wisconsin).
