Six. All above 8 seed.
Said during our Minny game they arenât a tournament team.
They might lose the rest of their games.
Lost 6 of 7 lately.
Might be the best thing for them long term if it means Pitino wonât be âcoachingâ them
Minnesota fired Tubby Smith for only making the Big Dance three times in six years. Now itâs Pitinoâs sixth year and thus far heâs made the tournament . . . once. Hmmm.
Boy the McCafferyâs are a couple of wild men tonight. The son banging into people, picking up two quick fouls, argues with the ref and gets a T. A minute or two later Fran argues with the official and picks up a T. I guess the apple doesnât fall far from the tree. Iowa ainât cominâ back tonight!
Liked me some Tubby, thought he got the shaft.
Justin Ahrens 6 of 10 from three, shootinâ it like Bohannen. Ahrensâ 29 points tonight are as many as he scored in his first 16 games this year!
I heard today they were the first team out according to Lunardi. But if they beat Purdue on March 5âŚhmmmâŚ
Woah. I guess you donât know Big Ten play is winding down until the yearly Fran McCaffrey/Iowa meltdown.
Fran is an absolute lunatic
Bad night for Fran. His team didnât play well, and they lose by 20 to the Buckeyes, his kid gets a tech for arguing with a ref after an obvious foul against the kid, and Fran picks up a tech, too. But, of course itâs all the fault of the âcheating mother fâer,â the âfâing disgraceâ of a ref! OKâŚ
Oops, I forgotâŚweâre not supposed to talk about refs on the forum!
(EDIT - oh, it was after the game. I was thinking was at halftimeâŚ)
Wisconsin down to IU in the second half. With the Iowa loss earlier and if Indiana holds on (big if) that would go a long way in securing a top 4 seed in the BTT if that has any value to anyone.
In fact I think Michigan would secure a top 3 seed with a win @Maryland regardless of what they do in the other 2 games.
Edit: Wisconsin goes on a run to close a 13 point deficit immediately after I posted this. Nevermind.
Indiana is so hard for me to watch. To be frank, I do not think they are a well-coached team.
Is damezi hurt? Never plays anymore.
Lol up 3, Indiana fouls Trice shooting a 3 with less than 10 seconds left⌠there is a reason this team has been so abysmal this year
What an insane season this has to be for Indiana fans. All the expectations, the terrible stretches and tonight they did everything possible to give that game away to Wisconsin. Thank god they held on. Just brutal.
Might be missing something but I think a win on Thursday would pretty much lock in a two-day bye for Michigan in Chicago after Wisconsinâs loss.
