Big 10 Tournament -- Madhouse on Madison

Getting nervous about our game...

Just in case you missed it

Iowa looking like they will move on.

The Hawkeyes have been in control this entire game though Northwestern is clawing back against the team in the B1G leading the league in blown saves.

Relax Cookie, I guarantee you we will win!

Sorry, I was late to this thread.

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

 

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.

I have been to the last 2 B1G tourneys. It feels like less of an event in Chicago. Indy seems like it goes all out, but I guess Chicago is a much larger city so that makes sense. In Indy EVERYTHING is right there near the arena. Indy is the perfect setup for events. In Chicago it takes about 30 minutes to get to the United Center via public transport. Everything is walking distance in Indy. Bankers Life is more of a basketball centric arena and has better overall sight lines - it's also newer. Not much around the United Center in terms of food/nightlife/hotels and there was one beer tent in the parking lot.

Overall I'd say it feels more at home in Indy but Chicago is one of my favorite cities and it is the conference headquarters and has a larger arena. Can't go wrong with either but I'd give Indy the nod.

Though I haven't been to any of the B1G tournaments (despite living in Evanston!), I have heard from other B1G fans and 'Cats fans that would agree with Husker4TheSpurs's analysis.  Personally, I don't care where it is, but I would go to it if I could.  (Expensive tickets and crunch time in the academic calendar has made it impossible for me.)

some intriguing quarterfinal games today

Illinois vs Indiana up first

Michigan vs Wisconsin after

Illinois playing good defense.

Bankers life is definitely closer to the hotels, but it took us like 10 minutes to get from downtown chi to the United Center yesterday via cab during rush hour.  not bad at all

Indiana starting to run away with it a bit.

35-21 Indiana at the half.

New York makes sense, also Philly and now D.C. Would love to see it in the Big O, but I'm afriaid the suits still view us as far to "Hee Haw" & too far away. 

The marquee game for today is now.

Just opened my fortune cookie from lunch today. It says: "YOU WILL BE REWARDED FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING." (their caps, not mine.)

Let's see how accurate it is...I guess technically there's no time frame given, but I'd sort of prefer that reward happen around 7:15 p.m.

BTW, this is available on "Watchespn.com".

BTN2go shows it as being available at midnight

What is the horoscope?

Maybe all signs point to a Husker win?

not much for scoring

10-6 Michigan, 11:00 left in first half

That Michigan oop was pretty awesone. SportsCenter top 10 easy.

I kind of like the camo unis Michigan is wearing. They looked pretty cool with Baylor wearing them yesterday too.

For all those Bruesewitz fans out there: Tim Hardaway just dunked over him on an alley-oop.  If you want to see it again, just watch Sportscenter for 5 minutes tonight

14-6 Michigan at the under eight

Wisconsin 0-7 from three

14-6 Michigan at the under eight

 

Wisconsin 0-7 from three

That's typically the story line for them losing games...that's how Purdue beat them at the Kohl Center

Jump shot free throws are stupid.

Wow Wisconsin turned this game around!  Up 11 with 6 to go!

How stupid good is a conference where the 5 seed in the conference tournament is the #6 rated team in the country?

Guys... Where can I watch the game tonight on the internet... I do not get the B10 network!  Any help would be great thanks!
