Big Ten Men's Tournament

[OHSportsFan]

I won't remotely argue the strength, organization and leadership of the Big Ten administrators versus the Big East's b/c it's obvious, but one thing I appreciate is the fact that Conseco Fieldhouse removes the NBA three-point line on the floor for the Big Ten Tournament (unlike the Garden).

Pacers would appreciate if they kept it that way.

Were I a coach of an acknowledged Real Tournament team I'd let my first string play about 10 minutes to get them the practice time and then see where my twos and threes could finish. To risk what you have earned over the course of a 20 game conference schedule in a bull shit, money making shoot out is nonsense.

I wonder if Syracuse coach isn't glad his teams been knocked out -- aside from the fact that it was at the cost of his center.

Minnesota keeps hitting huge shots to keep Sparty at bay. MSU gets the lead down to 3 or 4 and the Gophers go right back down and hit a huge 3... seems to be the pattern in the 2nd half.

 

[bkochmc]

Here comes Sparty... lead down to 2... Lucas is smooth.

Oh, and I will never tire of seeing Turner's last second shot, which they just showed again

I said before the tourney started that I wouldn't mind taking a seat early to rest up for the real tournament. Lately the BE tourney is there for the bubble teams to make some noise. The teams already in don't seem like they give a shit.

Overtime... Izzo defense > > > > Beilein defense

They've showed Turner's shot 5 times in the past 5 minutes... and every time Douglas is standing like a doofus after Turner hits the shot

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

but did he use good form?

 

[bkochmc]

but did he use good form?

Not. At. All.

But Gus Johnson did say "Joseph for the WWWIIIIIINNNNNNNN.... overtime!"

Speaking of Joseph... wow, that was a deep 3.

 

[bkochmc]

Bye bye Sparty

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

Big Ten Tourney is shaping up for the Buckeyes to win the title. Obviously, Purdue is still alive, but having Sparty and Wiscy gone certainly helps.

 

[Jake]

Hopefully Minny and PU will go about twelve OTs.

[CHU]

Does Purdue know the game has started?

 

[Jake]

Minny on the verge of running away from PU, up 19-4.
