Latest SI projections

Re: Latest SI projections

I stand by what I said.

However, I agree with TommyT.

If we are going to get stuck with an 8, I want Kentucky or Duke in the second round, because god help that 9 seed with the amount of anger and determination we would have going into that one after getting screwed.

In a previous post, you mentioned if we played like we did in STL we will not get beat by anyone. So why does it matter who we play?

Are you standing by that previous statement as well?

Re: Latest SI projections

Indeed.

I just think that Kentucky (inexperience) and Duke (similar style) are the *best* matchups.

We just need the tournament to GET HERE!

Re: Latest SI projections

Are you serious? UNI is going to the NCAA's and we are talking about Suckeye basketball? Who cares about Alford! I hope we don't play New Mexico just so I don't have to read about what kind of coach he was at "that" school.

I love you TommyT.

I love you TommyT.

Is this the start of our bro-mance?

Would love a second shot at Purdue. I want to start in Milwaukee so we can end up playing on our 2nd home court - St Louis!

Re: Latest SI projections

Just because we would be in Milwaukee doesn't mean we would go to StL.

This asinine pod system could assign 1st/2nd round games to Milwaukee from any of the four regionals.

I can't decide if it was Steve Jobs or Captain Picard who coined the name "POD system".

You do realize the games in St Louis are at the Edward Jones Dome-not the Scottrade Center.

Yes, but the Panther Nation will take over St. Louis again. And besides they are like 2 blocks apart.

Speaking of which... has anyone heard if the team is doing any practice in the dome? With the empty space behind the backboard that made the dome a homecourt advantage, it might help us get used to that prior to heading to the dance.

Don't really care either way, just kind of wondering....

I can't really see them going to the trouble of moving the wood floor to the dome. Especially considering they are probably going to lay the carpet down soon, right?

Re: Latest SI projections

IF UNI was heading to the Sweet 16 in St. Louis with a chance to win two games and advance to the Final Four...you don't think for one second that to gain an advantage that UNI puts down the wood floor in the Dome for a few days of practice?

Competitive advantage. I'd do anything if UNI was in that position to get shots up in a Dome atmosphere.

Hell...I'd volunteer to tear down and set up!!

Re: Latest SI projections

I was on the Dome crew in college. I could work for Dave Kohrs one more time putting the floor together as long as I got to drive the forklift. I'm OSHA approved.

Re: Latest SI projections

Don't get me wrong, I'd be right there helping you, but what's the point until you know what kind of venue they are going to play in? Seems like it's likely to be another hockey/basketball type arena for the first round, right?
