TIS has Crean & Crimson shirts available online already for $10 (plus $9 to ship, at least to me).

Again, Arizona wasn't good this year. No matter how many times you say it,
it won't become true. Mostly, I was just pointing out that you shouldn't
tell people to look things up first, when you're making your own statements
that aren't correct. And calm down. We're all Hoosier fans here. And
neither of us are Tony Bennett fans.

Of course, Arizona was in the bottom half of that PAC 10 this year, while Arizona St. and USC were in the top half, along with UCLA, Stanford, and Wash St. And since WSU went 4-0 against USC and ASU, WSU was actually 4-4 against the top half of the PAC 10 this year. Maybe you should check yourself before you post.

Still not a huge Bennett fan, unless he is willing to change up his offense to go more up tempo once he has better athletes.

The NCAA puts at least one set of games in North Carolina nearly every year (2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, and next year, too) so that Duke/UNC gets an easy trip for at least 2 games. Thankfully, there's no stadium in NC big enough to host the Final Four, or they'd probably put that there every year, too.

Unrelated, but it just took the BTN 2:30 of game time to get the score graphic up in the OSU/MSU game. I came in a little late and was ready to scream at the TV because I couldn't see what the score was for a few minutes. I love being able to watch all these games out east, but the production level flat out sucks.

I like the Hoosiers by 12 tonight in a game that's not that close except for a late Gophers run against the scrubs. Maybe they'll even let McGee off the bench.

Not sure what they showed during the Purdue game last night, but if it was what you said, they are wrong.

Here is the relevant part of the tie breaker procedure from the Big Ten website:

MULTIPLE-TEAM TIE

1. Results of head-to-head competition during the regular season.

A. When comparing records against a single team or a group of teams, the higher winning percentage shall prevail, even if the number of games played against the team or group are unequal (i.e., 2-0 is better than 3-1); in the case of tied percentages vs. the team or group of 1.000 or .000 the following shall apply: 2-0 is better than 1-0; 0-1 is better than 0-2.
B. After the top team among the tied teams is determined, the second team is ranked by its record among the original tied teams, not the head-to-head record vs. the remaining team(s).

And here's Terry Hutchins' discussion from his blog a week ago:

"And a three-way tie at either 16-2 or 15-3, wouldn't be pleasant for IU either. If that happened, how would the seeds be determined? In a three-way tie, IU would have a 1-2 record against the other two teams, Wisconsin would have a 2-2 record, and Purdue would have a 2-1 record. So if it were a three-way tie, Purdue would get the No. 1 seed, Wisconsin the No. 2 and IU the No. 3. So that's pretty much the way it would all play out."

Sadly, I think Purdue and Wisconsin are both going to win out, while the Hoosiers will fall at Michigan St. If I remember correctly, the last time IU won at MSU Eric Anderson and Cal Cheaney still played for the Hoosiers.

And as much as I would like OSU to take out the Boilers, I don't think OSU is that good. Purdue, to me, puts a consistent game out there - they won't take out a team that is better than them and playing well, but they won't lose to teams they shouldn't either.

Hopefully, I'm just being the typical pessimistic Hoosier fan, though. I'll certainly be pulling hard to MSU to win tonight but exhaust themselves in the process. Maybe a double overtime thriller?
