Big 10 Tournament -- Madhouse on Madison

[cozrulz]

Here is the tournament thread.

 

So far Illinois looking pretty good.  Or Minnesota looking bad.

 

Should be a good tournament.

 

Any chance Omaha will ever get the basketball tournament?

Minnesota trying to comeback.

 

32-26 Illinois

[cozrulz]

32-29.  This should be good down the stretch.

[cozrulz]

tied at 34

Minnesota keeping Illinois in the game with a couple sloppy offensive possessions.

 

41-36 Minnesota

[cozrulz]

6 minutes to go.  Game has gotten fast.

 

Minnesota 47-46

[cozrulz]

Don't like that call.

Wow!  Illinois wins at the buzzer.  Great game 1 for the tournament.

[cozrulz]

Illinois gets Indiana.

 

Next game Penn State vs. Michigan

Gus!

Yup, Gus Johnson already being put to work

Minnesota is currently projected as an 8th seed.  

I wouldn't hurt them too much to drop down to a 10th if possible to avoid the 1st seed in the second round of the tourney.

With the way they're playing it probably won't matter.

Another host city idea:

 

Milwaukee

I'd love to see Omaha bid for it, but I wouldn't expect it to leave Indy and Chicago.  Wonder if they'll make a bid for MSG or DC with Rutgers and Maryland joining the fold.

I'd love for it to be in Omaha but I don't think it will ever move out of big market cities.

I say keep it in Chicago, its a place that is easy to get to and everyone will enjoy. 

[cozrulz]

Penn State not afraid of Michigan.

 

Up 8-3

[49r]

I've heard there are rumors they'll try to have it at Barclay's center in Brooklyn in the future.

Apparently it is further to get to the United Center from hotels than Indy and Bankers Life.  Instead of five minutes it is more like thirty.

Penn State saying... "we did it once, we'll do it again!"  Up 14 to 5... now 14 to 7

[cozrulz]

Penn State looking good in the opening minutes.  Up 14-7.  Michigan going to the line for an and 1.

[cozrulz]

Penn State not going away.  Closed with a 7-0 run.

 

35-33 Michigan at the half.

I'm sure Michigan, like everyone else, would have rather drawn Northwestern.
