Wide Open: 2009-10 College Basketball Season

[Akiyama]

I guess owning means anything.

I guess so. Just felt like a Cincinnati possession if I've ever seen one.

ku k-state nc inc

lol

[Headspace]

Evan. Turner. Is. God.

[Byrd]

Wow. Amazing finish. If I had any doubts who the national player of the year was, I don't anymore.

[Akiyama]

Same. Evan Turner is the fucking man.

[archibaldcrane]

Hmm.

Illinois, a team we just wrecked on their home floor, is shooting 65% against the Wisconsin Badgers defense in the first half.

What...the fuck? Down 9 at the half...

[Kyo]

Same. Evan Turner is the fucking man.

^

What an amzing shot, this kid is going to be a good NBA player as well.

[Moss]

I feel bad for Manny Harris, he made two big shots before Turner's game winner.

Illinois doing their best to make this game interesting. lmao this is awful

[archibaldcrane]

Cut a 16 point deficit to 3...

God we suck in the Big-10 tourney. Can't wait for our 6-seed.

[Ryany]

Steve Lavin gave a nice gem in the OSU/Michigan game by saying that a 7-loss, and 5 losses out of the last 7 games Villanova Team is in the mix for a #1 seed.

I guess since the ACC is down this year that ESPN has to pick a different conference to ride.

[Vade]

A&M is up against KU by 3 at halftime...keep the momentum Ags.

[Kirin]

Holding my breath during this MSU/Minn overtime. We just look like we expected to cruise through this game...and were not playing 100%. Raymars playing alright, but Lucas is making mental errors and Green is having on and off moments.

UGA playing Vandy tough, but I don't see us pulling this one out either. Just can't get calls our way and some pretty dumb fouls against us too.

Edit: 65-58 Minn. This is prolly done. Gotta bring your A game Sparty...playing half assed against anyone aint getting it done, and Izzo looks none too pleased about this performance either.

[Ryany]

I honestly think Tom Izzo doesn't really worry about the Big Ten Tournament and just starts preparing for the NCAAs at the end of the Big Ten Regular season. It seems like MSU loses a game they shouldn't every year and then goes on a run in the NCAAs.

I think there's a good chance that it could two upsets tomorrow for an Illinois/Minnesota championship game since both teams are trying to play their way in.

I also have a picture in my head of Steve Lavin/Digger Phelps drooling while talking on ESPN about seeding Wisconsin 6, MSU 5, Purdue 4, and Ohio State 1 (since they love Ohio St. and hate every other Big Ten Team)

[Arvin]

he doesn't care, there was an interview a few years back where he made mention that the big picture is the big dance of course.


we don't win big ten tournaments, ever. it's nothing to sweat.

it's actually a good thing and i hope minnesota goes all the way for the bid. want the big ten to dominate the brackets

as for raymar, kirin.. he has been a fucking monster the last few games. he's finally breaking out of his shell and he's not fucking up.

[Plow]

preview of the NC tonight! hope the refs are worth a shit this time lol

wish I would have planned ahead to go to this, it's going to be like the best conference championship ever

[octopus]

it's actually a good thing and i hope minnesota goes all the way for the bid. want the big ten to dominate the brackets

If Illinois/Minnesota makes it to the tournament they'll probably just drag down the winning percentage though ;o

[Ryany]

If Ohio State would just give the ball to Evan Turner every time, he'd score 80 points a game. (55 of them being free throws)

[octopus]

Some of these late game fouls are kinda ticky tacky...

[Byrd]

If Ohio State would just give the ball to Evan Turner every time, he'd score 80 points a game. (55 of them being free throws)

And if Illinois could get a shot off before the buzzer, they might have won this game twice by now.

[Byrd]

I don't think I've ever seen a team only score 4 points in the first 12.5 minutes of a game. Shooting 11% to start a game will do that to you.

[Moss]

You should watch an LSU game sometime, might make you feel better.
