Before Lawrence shot that, I’m thinking “take a breath, slow it down.” No, take the three, make the three.

POTY

Yeah, pretty much everyone has their missed layup out of the way. Time to stretch the lead and let the crowd feast.

I mean they look like Iowa in those uniforms, Fox = Sandfort

Haha, gotcha. It’s incredibly physical.

So you think this has been officiated well?

Such a slugfest. Can’t wait for the quick whistles after the half.

Looks like from the always appreciated “Game Day Essentials” thread that Eli may be available again? Anyone know for sure either way?

NU 84 UM 69

Kansas as the two seed though in this scenario, that’s likely the closest for them as well.

More importantly, he has us as a 10 seed in Omaha. I’d take that.

As to Lawrence’s better play late in the year, last year his role increased and he acclimated to the college game. This year he has again acclimated to a new role (we found out mid-August? about Ulis) and his play increased. If he’s allowed continuity in his role this offseason, I bet we see him hit the ground running to start next year.

I was picturing more of a scenario of an impassioned speech from the coach along the lines of “They’re laughing at you getting booed!” Not literally hanging a printout of a tweet on a bulletin board. Call it, fodder, not bulletin board material I guess.

Don’t know what’s less believable, us getting the 2 seed, or Illinois falling to the 7 seed.

Oh no, Allick! Don’t give them bulletin board material incase we see them again in the B1G tourney. We all know how playing Minnesota a third time worked out last year.

I know it wasn’t directed at me, it just made me think about Brice and how I’ve come to understand his demeanor this year.

I hope I’ve never seemed like I was hating on Brice. I know he was new and it took a bit to figure out he just has a calm, sure demeanor you don’t see a lot in the game today. But after watching him this season, I know that just because he isn’t shooting ice into his veins, or flashing three point goggles after a big shot, it doesn’t mean he’s not locked in.

Only explanation is he’s a masochist and Fred just won’t let him have it. So he’s gotta keep pushing the envelope.

I said it in the game thread too. He’ll hear good things from his NJ friends and associate head coach about Lincoln.

He got elbowed high and knocked over somewhere midway through the second, and of course there was no call. He was locked the f in after that.

Now look at these jackasses with the clock.

Now start Operation Wake Up CJ, and this team is heating up at the right time.

BRICE!!!!!

I could imagine Mgbako with him if Woodson is canned and he portals. Have to think he’d hear good things about Lincoln from his NJ friends and Kenya.

That old bastard again! See that one from 40 feet away better than the guy right there.
