Grats to the Luckeyes---ERRR---Buckeyes!

Lurch1982 · 02-26-2007, 12:03 AM

Grats to The Ohio State University for pulling a close win on Wisconsin today after Butch went down and missed the entire second half and winning the Big 10 Regular Season title.

But ya know what, enjoy it guys. Better you get the inside track to the 1 seed than Kansas or UNC (Go Terps, you won me dinner tonight).

I still say Wisconsin won even though the Ohio State University scored more points. I mean, I always thought they placed too much importance on the part of basketball where the ball actually goes through the hoop.

...

You can't really debate scores, can you?

Big Ten Champs baby.

And no you can't. But I'd rather debate that than get into the stupid argument that neither Ohio State nor Wisconsin should be number one.

I still have Wisconsin. They beat OSU once, they can do it again in the tourney.

Still waiting for Michigan to recover from their scandal.

But I'm happier about Maryland's win over UNC. All that's left is for them to beat Fluke again and they're in the dance. -CSM

My problem with the Buckeyes is they haven't played many teams, and the ranked ones they have played beat them with the exception of Wisconsin in Ohio and Tennessee in Ohio. They lost to UNC (#6 at the time), got blown out by Florida (#4 at the time), and lost to Wisconsin by 3 in Wisconsin. They did beat Tennessee (#20, since faded to unranked). Who have they beaten on the road?

Same could be said about Wisconsin too. Granted, my boy Izzo started his road to the Tourny by beating them last week, so it's all gravy. Neitzel for Big 10 player of the year.

Again, better tOSU than UNC or Kansas.

**Crazyswordsman** · 02-26-2007, 06:36 PM

Better Maryland than any of them. But Sparty should make the tournament, much to my sadness. I'll probably make a new topic for tourney discussion. -CSM

Show me a team that would beat Florida (or any top 15 team) when they shoot 83% from the field in the 2nd half and I'll show you a liar.

**Crazyswordsman** · 02-27-2007, 01:28 AM

That's actually a good point. Without Oden they'd probably be a 4 seed at best. -CSM

Lurch1982 · 02-27-2007, 12:56 PM

Even with Oden, I think tOSU could find some problems depending on the final brackets. There are some really good teams that are looking at potentially getting that 8-9 seed, giving them a potential rough second round. We'll see in the next few weeks though.

Kansas may make a push to number 1 overall because they've been annihilating the Little 12 (except Tex Tech). I have more faith in the Buckeyes surviving than Kansas. They have questionable losses and they've been beating a soft conference down. You get past A&M, Tech, and Texas, and the Little 12 is average at best. Most of the teams are bottomfeeding.

**Dr. Horrible** · 02-27-2007, 03:25 PM

I don't know if you'd call Tech on of the Big 12's top teir teams. Hell, I don't know what you'd call them. They go 3-0 vs. Kansas and A&M, then 3-7 for the rest of the Big 12. Most of the time I'd say Oklahoma and K-State are better. Maybe Mizzou too.

I'm mostly hoping my Aggies get the 2 seed in the South division. The UT game coming up worries me, though. All of our losses have come while we were ranked 6th.

My brother always says NEVER to count out Kansas.

I bet Syracuse gets that 8 or 9 seed. -CSM

edit: Looks like Michigan's about to upset Sparty! (not that Michigan's going to the tourney or anything, it's just a moral victory).

Except in the tournament the past few years... Bucknell and Bradley beg to differ with your brother.

I never denied either of them. -CSM
