2011 Big Ten Tournament, March 10-13

[NFBuck]

Coaches like Izzo, Matta, Donovan, Calipari almost always are great at getting their teams up for tourney play - no matter the talent level.

Almost being the key. Sparty's talent level is down considerably from the past few years and their recruiting hasn't been so hot either. Losing Lucas next year will be really tough. Roe is a shell of the guy they recruited because of his knees, they're gonna need Green and Summers to bounce back big time after they've both played pretty poorly all year, and Payne's gonna have to step up big after struggling as a frosh. I actually think they're in line for a bit of a downswing these next couple years.

Wow. Frazier just took a huge shot to head.

It's funny you say that because some talk radio guys up here (Valenti from 97.1) think MSU and scum are in line to dominate the Big Ten for the next few years..."dominate... like UNC/Duke dominate"

FWIW it's one of many things he's spewed that makes him a complete fucking moron.

With the exception of the MSU meltdown segment and the show the Monday after scUM shit the bed against App State, Valenti is nearly un-listenable.

People said they (Big Ten) switched the balls, thus leading to poor shooting. Seems like they're using the same Spalding as past years. Was there a switch (doesn't seem like it to me)?

Gotta figure Penn State punched their card today, wouldn't you? I'd say Illinois is the 7th team right now.

We get to beat scUM AND PoSU 3 times in the same season.

I still see PSU as being on the outside looking in unless they get the auto bid by beating us tomorrow. That ~40-point loss to Maryland just doesn't disappear in the distance.

If at least one of them makes a run in the NCAA Tournament, there could be even more.

I think this is pretty much what we did to our conference brethren this season, regular and tournament. :cheers:
