DizRotus Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 Somebody needs to check the refs for cheese breath. Oh well, despite the missed out of bounds and Ethan Happ suckering Jaren Jackson Jr., the better team prevailed. Now, I must again say, ahem . . . .go blue . . . beat the Huskers, so Sparty can get some revenge tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-js- Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I'm just hoping my Auburn Tigers are able to break what seems to be a trend of late - 4-4 since Feb 1 after going 20-2 before that. hopefully not just another late season swoon like I think they seem to do (in numerous sports). hopefully we get back on track NOW, smoke S Caro at home tomorrow & get things going for the post season, beginning at StL for the SEC tourney.. I think we will be a #1 seed there if we win the conference regular season. hopefully we will. we've wasted away a 2 game lead over the last 3 games or so. ugh. if we get that 1 seed, we bye until Friday in StL. March Madness - fun times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSU shouldn't have had it so close so that the bad calls or non-calls at the end would make a difference. It sounds like the refs were trying to keep it close for Wisconsin. I'm not great at understanding NCAA reffing, and NBA reffing is worse. Edit: I just saw some highlights on espn.com. It looks like MSU had a good defensive play and a couple of BIG 3-pointers at the end. That's a 13 game win-streak coming at the right time of the year.

Mich got Neb pretty easy so you got your wish. Be careful what you wish for. +++ Ohio State and Penn State should be a really good game, probably the best of this Friday night. Starts at 630p, but I can't get it on TV either, it's on BTN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 What is it about the Penn State Ohio State matchup that seems to favor PSU? They’ve already beaten OSU twice this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 Great game. PSU pulls a hat trick. That victory helps Nittany Lions more than it hurts Buckeyes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penn Stage had a one point lead at halftime and made it hold up 69-68. I would like to have seen that one, it looked like a barn burner. Penn State has 21 wins on the season, I'm not sure that was much of an upset. PSU is good. +++ It wasn't on TV yesterday, but did you see how Virginia finished over Louisville? Louisville had a FOUR POINT LEAD with one second left, and lost! UVA hit free throws followed by a L'ville turnover and a 3-pointer by UVA with no time left on the clock to win the game. Good for UVA for not giving up, but Louisville choked big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1290 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Perfect cut to the hole for the Penn State win. I've seen that work on OSU a lot this year. Spread the baseline and bingo! I think Sparty and Purdue, if it happens, will be a great game! Who knows! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieb Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 On a slightly different note what sense does it make for the Big 10 to play in Madison Square? While its obviously $$$ to the schools it seems a disservice to the fans who deserve the right to see the tourney live opposed to those in MSG who most likely don't give a shit ?! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1290 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Agree! The B1G women are in Indy so why they took the men to MSG I'll NEVER know. The women will leave Indy and start their playoffs. The men after NYC will have almost a two-week break before the NCAA begins. Maybe I'm just not seeing the B1G picture! lolol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cincymat Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 2018 Big East regular season CHAMPIONS, my Xavier Musketeers! Go X! that being said, pretty sure anyone can beat anyone else this year. The NCAA tournament will be a wild ride. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Purdue/Michigan for the B1G title. Purdue still not playing completely back to normal. They have beaten Michigan twice this year, I don't know if that's good or bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 I think Michigan will beat Purdue. Beating a good team three times in a row is difficult. Michigan is playing very well. At this stage of the season, victories for Michigan are more significant to their NCAA tournament status, than are losses to Purdue or MSU to theirs.

DizRotus Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 The Wolverines are peaking at the right time again. B1G tournament champs for the second year in a row, this time without a plane crash. John Beilein is an excellent coach. Not long ago, fanatical Michigan fans were calling for his job. Fortunately for Michigan basketball, cooler heads prevailed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am wondering what you think about the 33 free throws to 10 free throws disparity? I will have to look at the game again, but I never like the foul call disparity when everyone is banging each other. Langford poor shooting for the two guard was very bad. Jackson needs to take mid range jumpers. What did Ward do to get in the Izzo doghouse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
