    Northern Illinois down 18-4 at the half!!!

    I just posted this in the "Ugly game of the night" thread. But this game deserves a thread of it's own. In what is possibly the worst half of college basketball ever played, NIU is down 18-4 (!) to Eastern Michigan at the half!!! I know Mark Montgomery is in his second year as coach over...

    Mountain West coaches not pleased with polls

    http://espn.go.com/blog/collegebasketballnation/post/_/id/73559/mwc-coaches-not-pleased-with-polls I can't say I blame them, but I do have a problem with our "friend" Larry Eustachy and this gem from him: Colorado State coach Larry Eustachy actually went all the way in on the Missouri Valley...

    #20 Northwestern 34 - Mississippi St. 20

    Northwestern FINALLY gets off the bowl snide, beating overrated Mississippi St. 34-20 in the Gator Bowl. MSU which started off the season at 7-0, then played some actual SEC competition and finished the year at 8-5. Amazing that even a mid-level SEC team in the greatest conference of...

    Lovie Smith out as head coach.

    Well, Lovie has officially been relieved of his head coaching duties for the Bears. Look for a more offensive minded coach to replace him. Let the Lovie firing debate begin! :D

    Northern Illinois to the Orange Bowl!

    Well, it's not official yet, but according to Matt Barnes from Sports Illustrated, they will be playing Florida State in the Orange Bowl. What a great accomplishment for the mid-majors with this selection! Now if we only know who will coach NIU in this game since Dave Doeren bolted for the...

    #19 Memphis 52 - Northern Iowa 47

    Northern Iowa loses their third game in three days, this time 52-47 to Memphis. A very disappointing weekend for them. UNI still goes to George Mason and #18 UNLV, and have home games against Iowa and St. Mary's. They better win 2 if not 3 of those 4 to even have a shot at an at-large bid...

    #2 Louisville 51 - Northern Iowa 46

    Well, great effort by UNI tonight, but they could not quite get over the hump. The game appeared to be even closer than this score as UNI was trailing 48-46 with under a minute to go. It looked like UNI never got the ball back afterwards. So again, close, but unfortunately close does not...

    Bradley/Michigan tickets

    Okay, I do not like that we have to buy tickets for three other games to get tickets to the Bradley/Michigan game. I'm thinking of coming down to Peoria to take in that game with two others, but I don't think it's fair to have to wait until 10 AM on the day of the game to see if any tickets are...

    College football stunner!

    http://sports.yahoo.com/news/browning-lifts-la-monroe-past-arkansas-34-31-031236523--spt.html I know Arkansas lost their quarterback to injury, but still! Anyway, about as big an upset as Appalachian State over Michigan several years ago, with two differences. First Louisiana-Monroe is a low...

    OT: Wichita tornado

    My thoughts and prayers go out to our Valley counterparts in Wichita. A large and potentially destructive tornado moving right over downtown Wichita right now! THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN WICHITA HAS REISSUED A * TORNADO WARNING FOR... SEDGWICK COUNTY IN SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS...

    The mid-majors aren't done yet

    Despite most mid-majors being eliminated the last two days, including the higher end mid-majors like Gonzaga, New Mexico, Creighton and VCU, it looks like the Ohio Bobcats from the MAC will survive to the Sweet Sixteen. Ohio up 58-53 with 1:09 to go over a South Florida team that many, myself...

    #8 Creighton vs. #1 North Carolina

    Ouch! UNC threatening to make this a rout pretty quick. UNC up 39-26 with 4:54 to go in the first half. No defense will do that to a team!

    #10 Xavier vs. #7 Notre Dame

    Ha! Notre Dame just lost their game because of a lane violation on free throws that could have tied the game! Just when I thought I've seen it all, someone else finds a more creative way to lose! Xavier then iced the game on free throws. This is their sixth double digit come from behind win...

    #15 Lehigh vs #2 Duke

    Don't look now but we may have our first multiple #15/#2 upsets in the same tourney as Lehigh leads Duke 56-53, with under 4 minutes to go! Duke is shorthanded. playing without Ryan Kelly who is out with a right leg sprain. I was THIS close to picking Lehigh in my bracket based on Duke's...

    Lamar makes NCAA Tournament

    Lamar adds to their perfect "post Pat Knight rant" record at 6-0 by beating McNeese St. 70-49 in the Southland Conference championship game. For those who have seen the movie "Patton", the film's last scene shows General Bradley telling his best friend General Patton that his slapping that...
