Had we not moved I would have went to the HS that he attended

Wiscy was the preseason pick to win the conference and were #1 all year in the polls. We were the consensus #2 team in the country all year though.Minnrsota is a distant 3rd best program right now, which is why I was terrified of losing the Muzzinator if they made a change.

Four of our Olympians got in on the scoring tonight. Dunne (US) and Vanhannen (Finland) had goals. Dunne, Svennson (Sweden) and Jungaker (SW) had assists.

Davino up next on ESPN2. And then Mendez after that I think.

More examples of OSU running plays that worked. The game within the game.

Moments before Kentucky's miracle 3-pointer tied the game at the buzzer, Broncos head coach Herb Sendek tried to call a timeout, but it was not granted.

I had Santa Clara winning that game in my bracket

St Johns with some smothering defense Northern Iowa has barely been able to get a shot off in the first 5 minutes

Edmunds had FOUR FOULS with 10 minutes left and not once did they attack him to get him out of the game. Then of course he hits the easy game winner. Another thing 100% on the coaching

There has been a lot of times, in the last decade probably, where we just didn't demonstrate a high basketball IQ and it hurt us. It happens. In the heat of the moment you always hope your training and practice will take over and you handle the challenges. For whatever reasons we haven't. Got to definitely get that fixed.

Regardless of that, there's a lot to be positive about in my opinion if we keep the team together. Glimpses of what Devin, Amare and Juni can be were quite tantalizing. Diebs can actually coach in my opinion and it seems like he's finally finding his style and approach and guys were responding. Now we have to take next steps.

Underrated? Hmmm, so long as we don't keep using him as a fullback maybe. Didn't think much of his blocking when lined up that way.

20 first place to Wisconsin. So a little bit of a snub but not dramatic. Let's get it done

All is not lost! Still have Cannon, Gallagher, Kharchla, and Geog in the blood rounds! Would be great to see Gallagher AA! Geog loses the first round just to battle back. He beat th kid from Oregon State to avenge a loss from earlier this season. Kharchla has a great shot to AA, and I think Cannon gets it done too.

Davino and Mendez both have shots at titles and the rubber match between Davino and Blaze is set to be a monster match!

I really think Feldman is hurt, and I think he got hurt at the Big Ten meet. He looked concerned during the Keuter match but muscled through it. I feel bad for Nic. Kid made a massive sacrifice for the good of the team. He got caught. It happens. No way was he 100% either. Stiles had trouble with weight, but got a little lazy at times too imo. Not sure about Fishback. I mentioned a case of hew might be happening. Who knows.

Regardless, our guys can still ball out tonight

Well, definitely not the day I was hoping for but I'm feeling good about Mendez and Davino advancing. Would love for Davino to come up big on Blaze in back to back big moments.

Btw I’m at a boring high school baseball game…I work on computers but rarely use them otherwise lol

I'll even agree that the meltdown some are having over the last play with 4 seconds left to go the whole court is stupid. Was it ideal? Probably not, but in those situations it's very hard to actually pull it off, it usually takes a combo of a play falling into place perfectly and some luck.

Mark Titus has clearly never met Philadelphia and New York sports fans.

Right here is an example of a very good play to take advantage of TCU's aggressive ball screen blitz, really good play design to attack TCU's defense. TCU forces the PG to pass the ball but obviously it's hard to hit the roll man when 2 guys are in your face, so here they get Tilly involved to make the assist:
