That was before we had weak knees, a tender stomach and exploding diarrhea, bruh

It's still about body of work. 

[MuggsyB]

It might be a factor, but I wouldn't want to rely on it if Illinois beats Purdue tonight and then goes on to win the Big 10 Tournament while MU loses to Xavier.

It doesn't look like Illinois is winning this game. 

Whoops.  Purdue can always choke.  Anyway I don't see Illinois winning the B18 tournament. 

[PGsHeroes32]

Alabama is the most egregious example of a team gaming the metrics

They get boat raced by any team with a pulse. I am salivating for that match up.

[Uncle Rico]

Detroit up on 1 on UWM with 5:21 left in the first half

Its tied

[Uncle Rico]

Its tied

Any time a team takes an insurmountable 4-point lead, Muggsy declares a game over

[Uncle Rico]

UWM 1-13 from 3 so far but up 1 now

[tower912]

The.muggsy jinx.

[PGsHeroes32]

Edey missing a lot of gimmes.

[MuggsyB]

The.muggsy jinx.

Don't blame me for Purdue gagging Tower.   

[Uncle Rico]

Don't blame me for Purdue gagging Tower.

How are they gagging?

[Uncle Rico]

Detroit and UWM tied at half

[MuggsyB]

How are they gagging?

Like I said, Purdue looks like they'll win this game.

It might be a factor, but I wouldn't want to rely on it if Illinois beats Purdue tonight and then goes on to win the Big 10 Tournament while MU loses to Xavier.

The ink will be dry on that bracket before the big ten championship. Way too may logistics to swap locations based on one game. Illinois also blew a big lead to Penn State after the reveal, which is, um, not good.

[PGsHeroes32]

Purdue got lucky as hell off that ill advised drive by Jones.

[MuggsyB]

WIll Edey have an NBA career?

[Uncle Rico]

WIll Edey have an NBA career?

Yes

[wisblue]

Detroit and UWM tied at half

Mercy.

[MuggsyB]

Yes

Do you see him in the league for 10 years?  No one really plays like he does. 

[Uncle Rico]

Do you see him in the league for 10 years?  No one really plays like he does.

Doubtful?  Is he strong enough to play in the NBA or quick enough?  I have my doubts but he'll get drafted and have a chance. 

I think it's more likely he's a 3-4 year type player that doesn't get a second deal but he'll get a chance by whoever drafts him

[Uncle Rico]

UWM up 5 with 14 minutes left.  Start the bus, this one is over

That's pretty much where I'm at. 

[Uncle Rico]

Detroit now up 2 on UWM with about 10 minutes left

[Scoop Snoop]

Detroit now up 2 on UWM with about 10 minutes left

Just for the Hell of it, I put the game up on the ESPN site. So, Detroit is 1-30 overall, 1-19 in the Horizon? My Gawd!

These low major conferences always get weird in their tournaments.  The top-2 seeds in the ASun might get bounced tonight in the quarterfinals
