    Yeah, neither do I. But to go to Washington and win a big game on the road against a decent team like Gonzaga is a great win for them....

    I had a feeling about this game. Those dreaded games at Michigan State. We lost our trip there last year.

    Like I mentioned earlier, the reason I wanted #1 this week is because I was fairly certain we wouldnt be in the running for number 1 next week.

    Drew Neitzel?

    Oh well.

    Well, I'll drink to that...we've had OSU's number in football and basketball for the past 5 years or so...let's hope it keeps going Sunday, but this loss is discouraging.

    I give props to Neitzel. He played out of his mind.

    As for the Badgers, that last 5 minutes was seriously some of the most brain dead basketball ive seen in quite a while. Terrible defense, rebounding, and shot selection.

    Congrats man. Neitzel was UNREAL. Looks like some Big Ten teams are digging themselves out of their grave. I didn't think Michigan State had a shot a week ago.

    I always thought they would make the tournament, then again, I'm very biased. I still don't think they are a for sure yet, but they definitely have a legit resume.

    Yeah, but before tonight that 4 game losing streak just looked UGLY on their resume. With tonight's win and Indiana next, then two HUGE games next week.....pretty exciting eh?

Their schedule to finish out is not too bad either, as they play Northwestern and Michigan at home, then finish @ Penn St. and @ Iowa. Since I don't have a lot of respect for Iowa and their 7-5 record in the conference, I guess I forgot to include them A sixth team could possibly get in as a result of the Big Ten Tournament, but I believe the 5 will be Wisconsin, Ohio St., Indiana, Purdue, and Illinois....
    Hm, who was the idiot who wrote this?

    Very. With how they are playing now, they can (obviously) beat the best in the country. Izzo should start getting more national recgonition as one of the best coaches in college basketball.

    BTW, I always felt Izzo would get it done down the stretch, somehow. The guy won't let a team of his miss the NCAA tournament.

    Re: Preseason NCAA Basketball Poll is released

    So, after watching Spartans storm the floor in East Lansing, I flipped over to the end of the West Virginia @ Providence game. Providence won it, 64-61. The W gets them to 7-6 in the Big East, and 17-9 overall. Their final 3 are home vs. Cuse, @ South Florida, and @ St. John's. If they can find a way to beat the Orangemen this weekend, can we consider PC as good as "in"? Or do they have more work to do in the Big East tournament?

    good story tonight...

    just got out of the harlem globetrotters show at the glens falls civic center, always a good time..

    its been 6-7 years since i've seen them last, so i didn't really know who currently played with them. being a huge st johns fan, as soon as willie shaw was introduced, i couldn't believe it. what a player he was. he led the red storm for 4 great years with marcus hatten, and kyle cuffe, some great seasons. i also saw him play in high school when his team came and played in the state and federation tournys (gavman, i know you remember his playing days at the civic center) went down after the game shook hands, and asked how it felt to be back. i was wearing my st johns hoodie, and he mentioned he was very proud, and very much still keeps track of their progress.

    some great games tonight i see.. gavman, if they beat cuse, id say they are a shoo-in. they have been pretty convincing.

    Giving some more stats on Providence after some research:

    They are only 3-6 vs. teams 1-50 in the RPI, not good. They lost in the second game of the year to RPI #240 Brown, then four days later beat Boston College. The more I look at them, the more I don't like them so much. It looks as if they've beaten the lower tier of the Big East, and lost to the upper tier (with the exception of a home win vs. Marquette, but that balances out with a loss to Seton Hall).

    slumping Hoosiers VS a hot Michigan State team on Saturday night in Lansing.....huge game for both teams. Barring a monumental collapse at home VS Minnesota tomorrow and at home VS Penn State on March 3, IU is pretty much a lock.....but since IU can't win shit on the road, I'm ready to concede victory to Michigan State on saturday and that just might get them in.

    I haven't thought about his name in quite a long time. Go figure. Here's another name drop for you. Erick Barkley is a teammate of one of my buddy's for the CBA team in Indianapolis. How bout that for the Johnnies when they were good?

    I haven't thought about his name in quite a long time. Go figure. Here's another name drop for you. Erick Barkley is a teammate of one of my buddy's for the CBA team in Indianapolis. How bout that for the Johnnies when they were good?
    wooooaaa, E-bark, good lord. its a shame coach jarvis had to go out the way he did, he was a good man, and a good coach. i just hope this outlook we're getting this year is a sign of the next decade or two.

    Yeah, I hated that feeling earlier this year after moving up to #1. Ohh well, win at tOSU this weekend and the Badgers are still in line for a 1 seed.

    BTW, I always felt Izzo would get it done down the stretch, somehow. The guy won't let a team of his miss the NCAA tournament.
    I think it'd be hard to find someone who doesn't think Izzo is one of the elite NCAA basketball coaches.
