I'd love to see Owen Freeman from Iowa. Needs to get over his tendency to get into foul trouble, and he hasn't show a three-point game, but would be a nice replacement for Allick.

Headline from CBS — Bracketology: Losses by Michigan State, FAU lead to them falling down in latest bracket projection. MSU is all the way down to a ninth seed now. So we're a game ahead of them in the standings. We hold the tiebreaker having beaten them head to head. The Spartans are on a two-game home losing streak. We're on a four-game winning streak. They're 8-11 against Quads 1 and 2, and we're 7-8. We haven't been challenged in those four games. MSU just lost at home to tOSU (6-11 in the conference). Jerry Palm's CBS bracketology seeds for the Big Ten. Purdue (1) Indianapolis vs. No. 16 seed TBD Illinois (4) Spokane vs. UC-Irvine Wisconsin (5) Pittsburgh vs. South Florida Michigan State (9) Brooklyn vs. Boise State Northwestern (9) Memphis vs. Nevada Nebraska (10) Salt Lake City vs. (you guessed it) BYU If we win, we'd play No. 2 seed Arizona.

Who wore it better? Rick Pitino or Mr. Roarke? (The one on our left is Roarke.)

"If you've got to go out there before the game, halftime, back out, end of game, (and) to put the most vulgar, drunk individuals that are going to spew profanity-laced things, climbing railings to get at me ... I think you've got to look at trying to create a safer passage."

Bart Torvik calculates that these are the biggest impact games for us (leverage % for our chances to get into the Dance): Alabama at Kentucky (2.9%) Villanova at Connecticut (2.4%) Cincinnati at TCU (2.3%)* West Virginia at Iowa State (2.3%) Grand Canyon at Abilene Christian (1.9%)* *A win by the bolded team hurts our ranking, but hurts the other bubble team more.

I'd rather have that 7-10 vs. South Carolina than Florida, but neither is daunting.

I've flipped a lot of my journalism classes in the last year, telling students to bring only information they've gathered with them to class so I can watch them write. After that, I encourage them to engage AI as a means of checking on missing information, making sentences more direct, determining tone and voice, etc. Lessons like the one from this thread are valuable because they highlight the shortcomings of bot-produced content. We can't ignore the bots, we just need to be sure students are using them ethically and in a way that makes them better writers, not lazier ones.

Bart Torvik puts us at 82.2 percent with a victory against Indiana and 61.8 percent with a loss.

Born in Kentucky, Bill Monroe moved to Indiana in 1929 at the age of 18. Today, the Bill Monroe Beanblossom Bluegrass Festival is held every summer in Morgantown, Indiana. Ladies and gentlemen, the father of Bluegrass, the original Bill Monroe!

I'm looking forward to a rematch of the 1976 NCAA Championship Game between Indiana and Michigan — in a Wednesday play-in game.

Northwestern shooting 5-of-22 inside the arc today, but 3-of-6 outside it. 'Cats up 29-27 on PSU at half. I can't root for Penn State in anything (unless they're playing Iowa, of course).

In honor of the dancingest coach in the Big Ten, Chris Collins: "Canned heat in my heels tonight, baby!"

Also gotta beat Michigan twice to keep that record.

BU's backhanded compliment paraphrased: "That Casey Tommyknocker feller? He's reeeeel good."

'80. 1980, to be exact.

Another Spartan on the board!?!?

Alison Krauss spent her formative years in Champaign and won the Illinois state fiddling championship at age 10.

Um, Spiro Agnew?

I sat next to Divine's mother at the 1988 premiere of John Waters' orignal "Hairspray" at the Miami Film Festival. Divine (dressed as a man that night) was on stage with Waters, Rikki Lake and a few others after the film, and Divine introduced her. I hadn't known who the little old lady was until she stood up upon Divine's introduction of her.

If you're into great parodies, check out "Final Transmission" from the first season of "Documentary Now" on Netflix. Great send-up of "Stop Making Sense."
