  1. Palm’s brackets drove me nuts the last couple months. Just put some effort into it, guy.
  2. Jay Scott Smith wrote that post to try to make Crean sound like a hypocrite but indiana did accept their invite and played in the NIT that year
  3. Their guards remind me more of Jahmir Young and Ace Baldwin (minus the assists) than they do Shannon. For that matter, A&M reminds me more of Penn State and Maryland than they do Illinois. Doesn't mean they can't beat us, obviously.
  4. And he's a great fit for our needs at that position imo. We don't need a score first guy. Should have plenty of scorers around him. Need a guy who is defensive minded (check) and one who can handle the ball and isn't prone to turning it over (check). It'd be pretty cool to have Iowa and Wisconsin's former starting point guards on our roster next year...
  5. Hoiberg has sure talked all along like Ulis will be at least one of our point guards next year
  6. I’m getting more and more excited for this matchup. How hot really is A&M right now? During their 5 game win streak, they beat a poor Georgia team, got a nice 6 point win on senior day against Miss State, beat Ole Miss twice and Kentucky in the SECT. Ole Miss and Kentucky both have defenses in the 130ish range. They were 15-13 prior to that win streak. “A&M will have the best player on the floor” is what I keep reading and hearing. Maybe. Or maybe we have four players better than Taylor IV. I do believe we’ve faced several better lead guards throughout Big Ten conference play. Players who are much more efficient, better shooters, better at creating for others and don’t turn the ball over as much. We need to rebound the way we did against indiana. Unless they come out and make an unusual amount of threes, we can handle them if we play our game. FWIW, I absolutely hated the Baylor matchup 10 years ago. Couldn’t convince myself to be optimistic about that one.
  7. The media loves this Wade Taylor fella. Preseason SEC POY. He shoots a whopping 36% from the field and 31% from three and turns the ball over 3 times a game. Their guards looked great in the SEC tourney because Kentucky doesn’t play any amount of defense. Our team defense could/should cause them problems. Their backcourt will combine for a lot of points, just make it tough on them and make sure they do it inefficiently. If Taylor uses up about 30 possessions to get his 20 points that’s fine by me. We’re gonna have to secure defensive rebounds for sure.
  8. Texas A&M shoots 39% from the field and 28% from three. Defensively they don’t have any rim protectors. I watched them earlier this year and they did not look like a postseason team but they’re hot right now.
  9. I hate the Houston matchup for us. Oh well, let’s freaking do it.
  10. Could northwestern be in more trouble than everything thinks? I saw one bracketologist have them in the last 4 in. Their SOR is good, but all their other metrics are about the same as Ohio State if not worse. And they have that awful quad 4 loss. Worst loss of any at-large team.
  11. The guy on ESPN says there has never been a 1 seed with a non-con SOS as low as theirs and the committee has made it known there never will be
  12. Josh Pastner was just on sportscenter and said we’re the most dangerous under the radar team who can make a run
  13. Scrap this game. I didn’t want to play Illinois because I knew that’s exactly how it would be officiated. A win would’ve been meaningful but the loss is meaningless. I’m glad we’re not playing a third game in three days tomorrow. Mast’s joints need rest and recovery and everyone needs to get healthy and ready for the real tourney.
