Illinois looks awful again.  No idea how they waltz through the Big Ten every year and then look like s*** in the Tournament.

Well, perhaps the Big 10 is a tad overrated annually? Just a guess.

March on triumphantly!

Who knows but I absolutely love it.  They got away with crappy shooting to "win" the Chattanooga game thanks to the refs but that wasn't goin to happen against Houston.

A little off topic, but watching the tourney, I've been questioning one stat: Assists. Ex: Point guard penetrates, draws coverage, passes to relatively open man, and the guy misses the easy lay-up. So there is no assist given. Some teams seem to be great at finishing, others not so much...one may include SIU in the latter. I wonder if anyone keeps a "should have been an assist" statistic.

Trying to be fair to Big 10, but they sent NINE teams, if you count quasi play-in Rutgers, and four are gone! Not even through the second round. Looking a lot like last year. I know, it's all about the $$$$

March on triumphantly!

Another first round exit for the Whining Illini who still haven't been to a Sweet 16 more recently than SIU

Weird flex when SIU hasn't come close to an NCAA tourney in 15 years.

I think that's what makes it more hilarious

"Murray State head coach Matt McMahon is in the mix for the LSU opening, source told @Stadium. LSU also looked at Todd Golden before he was hired at Florida."

So if/when McMahon leaves Steve Prohm coming back to Murray feels like it's going to happen, right?

The Big Ten started with 9 teams and is down to 3 but Wisconsin is struggling again with Iowa State in basically a home game

And while I have Purdue beating Texas, that is no gimmie either.  The BIG 10 could have only 1 team after today is over....not likely, but definitely possible.

Wisconsin loses to Iowa St and another Big 10 team falls by the wayside.  WOW
