I think it will be a closer game than people think, but we'll see. Congrats to PSU for making it to the final four I believe in the NIT.<BR/><BR/>Great showing by the Big Ten ladies as well, with OSU, Purdue, and MSU all advancing to the sweet 16 out of 5 teams that made it that's pretty good. With Both Michigan State, and Purdue having to beat better seeds to advance. Keep it rolling big ten!Phatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01327293160817517567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21207445.post-57444114021708653192009-03-24T21:03:00.000-04:002009-03-24T21:03:00.000-04:00Congratulations to the Spartans and Boilers, and a...Congratulations to the Spartans and Boilers, and all the others that made it to the tournament this year. What a great conference season.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again to Andy for hosting this blog and the rest of you guys that keep up here. I have no idea how long I've been watching The Final Score, but this crowd is a lot of fun.<BR/><BR/>Can't wait to see how the "D" puts together the Final Four (REALLY glad it's here and Kwame Kilpatrick isn't!). I also can't wait to read up on the football team scouting reports over the next month or so.<BR/><BR/>Take care guys!mayo170https://www.blogger.com/profile/05961255944513340274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21207445.post-41807298800917886082009-03-24T09:58:00.000-04:002009-03-24T09:58:00.000-04:00Congrats to the Boiler and Buckeye women on making...Congrats to the Boiler and Buckeye women on making the Sweet 16 with the XX chromosome side of Sparty also playing the Dukettes for a chance to move forward.<BR/><BR/>Predictions for this week:<BR/><BR/>Penn State 62 at FLORIDA 74--Nittany Lions unfortunate to run into the probable NIT champs in Round 3. De Chellis and Co. still have a lot to be proud of. [NOTE: Projected NIT Final Four: Auburn, Florida, Notre Dame, San Diego State].<BR/><BR/>Purdue 63 vs. CONNECTICUT 70--A LOT closer than the pundits are saying--perhaps similar to vs. Florida two years ago. Price and Thabeet make big plays late.<BR/><BR/>Kansas 64 vs. MICHIGAN STATE 77--Methinks that while the Big 12 as a whole was almost as underrated as the Big 10 that KU may be the exception. Spartans can't quite blow the Jayhawks out in the second half, but should win comfortably as long as they make FTs and avoid silly fouls.<BR/><BR/>Michigan State 68 at LOUISVILLE 72--A Spartan win would not surprise after Louisville's mediocre first week, but I think that the Cardinal prevail. Projected Final Four: Duke (auggh!), Louisville, Memphis and OklahomaDan Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15615244752464618948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21207445.post-66973141456181346182009-03-23T17:01:00.000-04:002009-03-23T17:01:00.000-04:00Congrats to the Spartans and Boilers for making th...Congrats to the Spartans and Boilers for making the Sweet 16!<BR/>Not to get to far ahead, but next year's Big 10 hoops race should be even better than this year's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21207445.post-10874141681777082112009-03-22T22:28:00.000-04:002009-03-22T22:28:00.000-04:00Congrats to the Boilers and Spartans.

The OSU loss HAD to be extremely painful--looked like a game that the Buckeyes could have won 100 different ways. Illinois woke up a minute too late vs. W. Ky. and Minnesota apparently needed this year to know how to handle the NCAAs. P. S.--Good luck to PSU in making the NIT Final Four and perhaps duplicating the Buckeyes win last year.Dan Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15615244752464618948noreply@blogger.com
