That kind of came out of nowhere, I think he just said he was going to slow things down.

Ugh, McQuaid still unable to travel due to blood clot concerns.

I think everyone knew it was IU for TJD... Maybe by "slow things down" he decided to just finish it.

Bring on Keion Brooks now.

Oddly enough I'm hearing that Painter continues to make his push HARD for Brooks. I think most Purdue fans figure it's a lost cause, but Painter hasn't given up. Now that Malik Hall is at MSU and TJD is at IU, I wonder if Brooks would like to avoid playing at the same school as either?
I still think it's a VERY long shot, but if he could swing Brooks to Purdue, that would be amazing.

Please tell me CBS or tnt or tbs won't share this camera angle being used by BTN for this game at us bank stadium for Final four.

Feels like a game from Yugoslavia.   The shadows.  Drab.  Cement blocks.

 Wisconsin rallies and wins a game in Iowa it had no business taking. Feel pretty good about that one. 

 Also, Michigan has a tremendously mean defense. And that’s impressive primarily because I think back a few years when some of us might’ve said that brand of ball was too soft for the conference. Amazing how that coaching program have changed.

So, are the Badgers any good?

Yes
It's been interesting. Happ has been Happ. Davison has been a little short of what I hoped, Prtizel has kinda of, since his shooting is off, but he's been king glue guy. Iverson has been fine.
But among guys who played better: Trice, who is far better than I hoped; King, I thought he might get lost in the shuffle; Reuvers, thought he might not make THAT big a jump but he's been an ideal No. 2 big and heir apparent. 
Good to be back.

Got a bit concerned when Happ and Nate got 4 Fran Fouls on them, and then when Happ fouled out after the uncalled charge. But, they pulled it off as Iowa became unglued. Bravo to Pritzl and Trice last night. Those two played big-time games.



Feel bad for Anderson. Sounds like he's got an ACL problem and could miss the season. That is concerning because it's clear Strickland is not ready for prime-time.

Would be funny if MSU moved from Brooks to Hall, after assuming Brooks was all red; only for Brooks to take Hall's spot at Purdue.

Don't sleep on this 10:30 AM Buffalo-San Francisco game from Dublin.  Buffalo is ranked in the top 25, with a road win over WVU; and I think the computer metrics really like this undefeated USF team.  Better than Gameday

Michigan is so damn good

I hope they get two years out of Iggy, but I don’t like my odds at this point. If he’s not NBA material at the end of the season he is a shoe-in to be cast alongside Viggo in an Eastern Promises sequel.
They will need to get very creative to keep Yaklich too.

I told my buddy he looks like the guy who, after Bruce Willis unmemorably dispatches of a half dozen henchmen, he's the one left who actually challenges him, before being killed in a creative way.
