Dan Dakich said it about 50 times during the Indiana-Wisconsin game today.

Podsox looks like a potential green room guy. Solid poster, has been doing it for years now, some scouts are concerned about his consistency, but he should be there.

Wisconsin really doesn't want to miss out on the Big Dance… that was a good game. Other than Hayes shooting like 300 FT's.

ESPN's new.marketing ploy that's all.....right up there with power rankings and.qbr

I'm not sure why they are doing this, especially this year, as this is one of the weaker freshman classes in some time. I think they are trying to market the individual this year because there aren't any great teams this year, and the top teams like OU, Iowa, Xavier, Nova, Texas A&M, Virginia, Providence etc have little national appeal.

Just look at last year. UK, Duke, Wisconsin, Arizona, Kansas, Notre Dame were all top 8 teams. Much more national appeal to the casual fan IMO.

I'm thinking at this point they will have to win the Big Ten tournament to make it. Although they did beat a good Indiana team yesterday, I think they have more home losses this season than the previous 6 or 7 seasons combined.

Honestly it's more just something these idiots are trying to make stick.

Just like every damn ESPN game I watch I have to listen to 500 of their irrelevant BPI references.

They just love to sound important.

Apparently every CBB game on ESPN has 1-3 " green room guys". Did the draft expand to 12 rounds,when I wasn't looking??

It's just another convenient "select and sort" mechanism.

The specific origin of the term is lost to history, which has led to many imaginative theories and claims. One story is that London's Blackfriars Theatre (1599) included a room behind the scenes, which happened to be painted green; here the actors waited to go on stage. It was called "the green room".

The more likely origin is that a bunch of NBA/NFL Draft picks went backstage at HE draft and got high as hell. Thus creating the "green room"

Ha! Maybe when Len Bias got high after being drafted by the Celtics, then dying the next day.

Too soon, douggie. Too soon.

30 years is too soon?? Fuck that's a tough nut to crack apparently

That's my way of saying I never, EVER want to hear about Len. I would have grown up watching Larry Bird and Len Bias playing together. It would have been unfair

 

[douggie]

Best individual effort I ever witnessed was Bias scoring 35 at then #1 UNC and beat them single handedly in OT. No shit, Larry Bird and Len Bias would have been epic.

Who's Larry Bird??? sounds made up..

LOL
