Tribune article on BU and the CBI

[BU ICEMAN]

Thank you Mr. McNamee, can I ask you another question?

Yes, but please don't make me say "buttocks" again, wait, darn it!!!

There are only 36 teams left still playing.......

16 in the NCAA - then after Thursday there'll be 12 and after Friday, only 8
12 in the NIT - and there'll be only 8 after tonight, then 6 after tomorrow, and 4 after Wednesday
8 in the CBI - and after tonight there'll be only 4 and after Wednesday, only two.

Now there are only 28 teams remaining, and BU is still one of them.
16 left in the NCAA
8 left in the NIT
4 left in the CBI

Two more NIT games are tonight, then two more NIT games Wednesday along with two CBI games.
IF BU wins Wednesday, then on March 31, they'll be one of only ten teams left playing.

The CBI website has a picture of JC...

The Trib doesn't seem to even know that this is a third tier tournament.
The Trib even goes so far as to nicely compliment ISU even in their loss...
"The best team in Illinois"

ISU loses a ton of senior leadership and experience in Slack, Boo, Dom, Dyer, and Moor.

I LOVE that "toughest home court" part!

The Ohio coach saw what I think we all saw and its why he probably said how tough a homecourt it was.

Did you guys see the one posession late when Ohio just couldn't do anything. They should have got a couple travel calls out top but never did. They were rattled and couldn't pull the trigger. A couple weak passes and a few stutter steps by guys that earlier in the game were brimming with confidence.

It was a classic case of crowd influence and I looked at my buddy and sadi...they are rattled...I think we got em.

No doubt we got to em. I was sitting in the second row of the student section near the ohio bench. The coach was yelling at his players, and it was obvious that they could not hear what he was saying.
