B1G/NCAA basketball

You're such a pushover ...

The Big10 hasn't won a title in 15 years but since Izzo winning they've put six different teams into the Final...speaks to a lot of conference depth

2002 Indiana
2005 Illinois
2007 OSU
2009 Michigan State
2013 Michigan
2015 Wisconsin

Now-member Maryland was champ in 2002

LOL, life on the road in the B1G.

Texas A&M was down 12 points with 34 seconds left in the game and tied it up with a 14-2 run in 33 seconds. Unbelievable. Now it's going to double OT tied at 83. Insane.

[Mike]

A&M wins 92-88 in 2OT. They were down 70-58 in the final minute of regulation. I wouldn't want to be a NIU fan tonight. Or ever, but especially tonight. Ouch.

[Cody_Russell]

One of the craziest finishes I've ever seen.
I was streaming the game and was about to switch to the Xavier - Wisconsin game when NIU was up 12... Glad that didn't happen.

Poor NIU

Few days old but some strange coaching moves...Jamie Dixon leaves Pitt for TCU (Pitt tired of first round exits and boring-ass basketball I guess but still...) and then Pitt hires Kevin Stallings from Vanderbilt to replace him. Boggles the mind.

surprised to see no comments on the game last night..

[Mike]

Was Jim Harbaugh involved in some way?

[lineygoblue]

See? They would have had better ratings had they included Harbaugh ...

I didn't watch either ... for that very reason ... :-P

[Cody_Russell]

I couldn't make it past halftime because of the time of the game.
Mountain time zone people are lucky.

I'm in Missouri for a family reunion with my wife's family, and we were still visiting while the game was on. I didn't hear the score until after midnight CST when we got back to the hotel.

[Mike]

I watched the game. Definitely a classic, one of the best championship games ever.

[CGVT]

Yep

Great game. I was out of town too, at a hotel near the Denver airport. At first all I could find was the horrid Bleacher Report Carolina Team Stream. I guess they are doing one-sided broadcasts now. It was just disgusting. Absolutely dripping with bullshit. Then I went out to the lobby and watched on the regular CBS feed. Should have stuck with the stupid partisan one until the end to get the reward of some Carolina-centric anguish. Anyways, well...

1. I like Jay Wright. A lot. Wish we had a coach like that. IIRC I've said that before here.

2. Time zones are generally a pain if you're a fan of an east-coast team, IMO. I found that to be the case here too. I like being able to put the kids to bed and have missed only the first quarter of a game.
