Anyone feel like telling me how bad Illinois is going to be so I don't have to spend a single minute watching this tripe?
I'll hang up and wait for your answer.

They won't be that bad considering this season has been almost entirely cancelled due to child rape. There will only be one game played, that being Indiana's loss to Kentucky at some point in the tournament.

I'll probably lead a Black and Blue conga line in a Buffalo Wild Wings somewhere in Indianapolis when the deal goes down.
Fuck all of you!

Missed the last 10:00 of regulation, but had a sense it was trouble. Good for Stevens and Butler. It's not like it was the Little Sisters of the Poor IU lost to. They need to get better on the boards, and hopefully this game will help them get better. They've looked damn good in most of their games thus far. Looks like a No. 1 team to me, so Butler should dance and taunt and whatever else they want to do.

They didn't taunt. That's not the Butler way. They did dance though. Tom Crean is a great recruiter but there are still several questions about him as an actual basketball sport coaching person. He's got the talent to go all the way. He's got everybody believing that this is the team to do it. It will be glorious when and if it all comes crashing down on him Lane Kiffin style. That's all we have left. But we can hope.

That's absolutely true. Bad choice of words. But celebrate enthusiastically they did. And I'll even endorse such behavior.

Holy shit.
I admit it. I am not a basketball fan. But I will drop in on a game that has some point to it, like the NCAA championship game. What I saw last night was certainly worth the time. Things have changed in basketball officiating. They called a lot of fouls, but by yesteryear's standards there were at least 2 or 3 uncalled fouls on almost every possession. And traveling. And double dribbling. And flat out mugging the opposing players. I found it very entertaining. At one point with a couple of minutes left a Michigan player pinned a layup by a Louisville player against the backboard. Great play. But he got called for a two shot foul because before he got the ball he got the arm of the Louisville player. The Michigan player, and the Michigan fans, went crazy, and who can blame them, given what everyone had been getting away with up until then. I may have to pay more attention to College basketball next year if the officials are going to let the players play by playground standards.

They typically don't let them play to the extreme that they did in last night's game. This was a complete anomaly in style and quality of play, leniency in officiating and actual basketball aesthetic. One shining moment, indeed. It's usually slow, white guys getting trapped under the basket and failing to get a shot off or wide-open missed jumpers and poorly-executed out-of-bounds plays coming off timeouts. Occasionally, they'll go 4-5 minutes without actually scoring, and nobody will say shit about it and just pretend it's awesome because somebody just slapped the floor with his face for a loose ball, which was loose because somebody inexplicably mishandled it.
I know because I used to be a big proponent of all this. I also drank MGD and voted for George Bush twice and swore by Ayn Rand novels and fuck... there's just no end to it.

I tried earnestly to care about Purdue this year but their problems in the backcourt are so glaring that they've firmly established themselves as the most certain 5 seed ever to lose to a 12 seed in the history of NCAA Bracketation. If you do not pick them to lose like that in the first round this year, you're throwing one point into the trashcan. Caleb Swanigan is a legitimate NBA big with post moves and brute strength and high motor. I don't know who I'd compare him to just yet but maybe Zach Randolph with more ups? Or somebody nothing at all like that. I don't fucking know.

The intertubes make it appear that way, but it should be 0 BCs. BC says stuff wishing Illinois would be better. I say it simply in derision.
This entire thread is a BC post now, including my extremely BC, albeit prophetic Purdue post. So the thread title is apropos regardless of the year and baseball season as so close I can smell it. It smells like... victory.
