I think it's pretty much incidental. the geography rules dramatically increase the odds that you'll run into a team not too far from your own stomping grounds in the first round. with the womens case, you have a power conference that routinely gets in a ton of teams, combine that with geography restrictions, and your odds of running into your old conf mates jumps up dramatically. it's not like we left the B12 to go to the Hong Kong Exile Conference. We're just right next door.

the sun came up? really? Where is it! I....can't.....see......the.....sun!!!! Oh, it's cloudy. Nevermind.

I say we cut out the middleman. Let's just take a 16 and do Wichita St right off the bat.

sillies. everyone knows that a good inbounds play involves holding the opponents at gunpoint until the ball can be delivered to its desired point/player and then the hostages are released upon the dribble. really, that's straight out of the Basic Coaching Manual by Alphonse Capone.

tai has the physical package to be good, but he's going to be a bit of a project. he needs work almost everywhere, but he also has upside almost everywhere, too. It'll be a test of this staff's ability to develop talent to see how it goes with him. I expect him to takea sizable step forward next season, although the bar is admittedly low for that right now.

good side is losing to a ranked OSU team on a neutral court in a nailbiter isn't going to hurt us any. obviously winning would have helped us tremendously, but them's the breaks. i think we're looking at an 11 seed right now.

we'll get in, we just won't get a good seed. but still helluva accomplishment. i'll feel better about it tomorrow, as long as I don't watch this crappy ass OSU team again for the rest of this year.

not necessarily. we've been pressed before, but what we've done is draw fouls on the passes. today, we never got whistles on all the contact on the inbounds coverage. i think that made a huge difference. this is only the 2d game I've seen this season where I thought the refs were a major factor in the outcome.

i need nyquil.

what an awful loss. absolutely crushing. this one hurts.

the inbound shenanigans sealed our fate. and that's something you can't do and be a quality team. we have to get a handle on that.

oh, and now they're calling fouls on craft. nice. hey, a little damned late stripes.

credit OSU for gutting it out being down so much, but this was still a horribly called game, and it made a difference.

and who's the asshole rooting openly for OSU?

I have no words for this jobbing. fuck this conference.

game changed on the refs tightening the whistles. got into foul trouble, and played soft since. got to call the game consistently. i hate the refs in this conference.

we look like the team that played yesterday. down 18 to tie. inexcusable.

well, nailbiter again. man, we need this game.

no excuse for this collapse. none. we just fell apart. credit OSU, and some awfully generous whistles.

wow, stunning turnaround. gut check time, because we've stopped playing.

so much for OSU being tired. they're killing us on the press. and we're in trouble.

doggone it! lol failed lob. ouch. what a bad break.

well, we're vulnerable to a good press. need to work on that better.

okay, this inbounds struggle is getting really old. let's adjust, please.

come on ross, you unstable punk. get a T.
