"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs, who comes [up] short again and again ... who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly." ~Teddy Roosevelt

lol...good stuff
how's this?:

Persistence and Determination
In the Face of Adversity
Is Invariably Matched
By the Glory of the Result

IU continues their great tradition in the B1G tourney...11-19 with 1 championship game appearance and no titles. Tied with the hoops juggernaut known as Penn State... LOL

Out of all the championships we could win, I'm glad the only one we haven't is the B1G tournament. Pretty pointless.

So it's settled, Michigan is one of the top 4 teams in the B10.

How does Joe Lunardi have Michigan still out... but at the same time have Butler as an 8 seed???

Butler: 21-10 (10-9); 4-8 vs RPI top 50; Worst loss: at Marquette (108)

Michigan: 21-11 (12-8); 4-9 vs RPI top 50; Worst loss: at Ohio State (73)

I would say that the Big East and Big Ten are comparable this year. Whatever Butler is, Michigan should be no worse.

Too many idiots in college basketball broadcasting. I was watching a panel of them earlier and they insisted that Virginia and UNC both already had #1 seeds guaranteed, that even if Nova and Michigan State win their respective tournaments they'll be fighting each other for the last #1 seed. Then one idiot said "The ACC is just the strongest conference in the country, top to bottom. These two teams have already proven more than either Villanova or MSU will prove by winning their conference tournament."

So I was just sitting there thinking maybe next year during the regular season they should organize some kind of league crossover event to find out which conference is strongest from top to bottom. Maybe they can call it something cheesey like the B1G ACC challenge. Something like that should be able to easily show if winning one conference "proves" less than not winning the other.

That's a great idea!! I don't get the UNC love. I actually agree on UVA, they've locked a 1 up imo but even if UNC wins tomorrow their reuse won't be as good as MSU if MSU wins out. UNC HS a better SOS and RPI but they're 4-5 vs the top 50. That's pretty terrible for a 1 seed. They've racked up a bunch of wins 51-100 but most of those aren't tourney teams. I think to be a 1 seed you need to have shown the ability to beat high quality teams consistently

god dammit I fucking hate this shit.
MSU and MARYLAND (both already in the Dance and appropriately seeded) are going to absolutely kick the crap out of each other today -
FOR FUCKING NOTHING!!!

yesterday, during the MSU/OSU game Denzel Valentine, Matt Costelo and Gaving Schilling all took way scarey falls that could have easily been catastrophic for MSU. But the mob and advertisers and tourney sponsors were happy so wtf's it matter, right?

bullshit!
