The Illinois-Minnesota game has just started. It is televised on CBS (WMBD in Peoria), in case anyone didn't know.

Just a demented thought... I wonder what people would think if Illinois wins the Big 10 tournament and knocks ISU to the NIT?
I'm okay with that.
So am I. I like BW and I'm happy for him.I hope they beat Wis. tomorrow!

Beni - you mighta missed it. I made some predictions last night.
Here they are again:
1) Illini win B10 Tourney
2) Knocks ISU out of At-Large bid
3) Illini gets a 12 seed in dance
4) Drake gets a 5
5) Illini beat Drake in the first round of the NCAA
Me too...I can't stand BO..
what a weird finish today though. Brock should have been called for a travel. I do agree on the clock though..they took forever to start it at 15.3
Here come those flying monkeys and you don't wanna know from where...
Do you mean after he got hit in the face?

You are right Mob, I missed your predictions from last night. --didnt mean to steal your thunder.-- I am not sure about number 5 though. I cringe just about every time the Illini shoot freethrows and that could be the difference against a team like Drake.
fwiw, I would love to see the Illini bounce ISU to the NIT.
If anything that Farber or whatever his name is should have been called for a foul on Brock. He nailed him right in the face.
Tomorrow will be a tall order, but it's not unattainable. Go Illini!
I don't think so, lefty...but I can see that it looks like traveling.
But...
if the guy comes down and establishes possession while upright, then falls to the floor it is traveling.
But if he is going for a rebound or loose ball and ends up on the floor, especially if he gets knocked to the floor through no fault of his own, then I have seen this allowed, and NOT called traveling 90% of the time, and it is the right call.
It is the same as if he dives onto the floor to fight for and grab a loose ball. It is not traveling
