IMHO for OSU, there's no rush. Perhaps his seat should be a little warm, but unless you have a sure fire replacement ready in waiting, why move now?

Oh, I agree. I'm not at the point of "anything is better than this" but if I were tOSU's AD I'd try to quietly feel out John Beilein.

Damn. I'll be in Paso Robles for the weekend. Wine tasting Friday before the Purdue game concludes.

Hopefully I can remain radio silent Sunday long enough to watch the R32 game (assuming they advance) on DVR.

Damn don't they have wifi in Paso Robles. Park in front of a television with a box of wine and taste that way

Also man Illinois wins the B1G, gets rewarded with a four seed and Houston, which is top five on KenPom, checks in as the five seed. That's a rough one

If we are looking at old guys I'd call Kelvin Sampson. He likes the telephone anyway.

I'll be at work for OSU. Hopefully I can get the game on in my office

Didn't catch this the first time around, how about Sparty welcoming Foster Loyer back. He's been outstanding for Davidson.

I'm really surprised at how highly UW got seeded in this thing. Highest ranked #3, placed in Milwaukee and the Midwest, meaning if they advance past the first weekend, they will play in Chicago.

Illinois gets a #4? Seems like they should have been seeded higher.

[847badgerfan]

Purdue as a #3 has to play in Fort Worth, while Tennessee as a #3 gets to play in Indy?

Ouch.

How Tennessee didn't get a 2 is beyond me

It was bad, but also, with the road they got, it probably won't make a difference?

Like, they're a 3, and they have to beat Longwood, then Colorado State/Michigan, and then if they play to seed, they've got the 2 anyway.

It turns out, when it was laid out that they try to use the nerd math as a tool, but the actual numbers next to the teams don't mean as much, that was actually true. 

Would be nice if that stopped people from losing their minds about such things, but it will not.
