Illinois is the one team who gives me pause. They will matchup better against us than anyone else in our region. They have the best guard in the tournament, they have active bigs, they have a top notch Stretch 4 in Coleman and they can shoot the 3. Yes, they will beat Iowa St., and yes, I believe they will be our biggest test in this tournament.

And when they turn it on like they have here in the 2nd half... WOW, they are really good.

I wish I could like this post more than once. It’s something that’s always annoyed me.

Dana Altman putting on a clinic right now.

They weren't doing their switching defense thing earlier in the year, and then they pulled it out during the Pac12 tournament. He's got a great record in tournament games for a reason.
South Carolina looking like so many old Syracuse opponents did in round 1. They don’t know how to solve this.

There are times I miss playing basketball, but then I see #1 on Oregon getting a forearm to the chin and I remember why I stopped playing.

South Carolina finally figuring out the zone. Oregon still shooting lights out.

They don't scare me, their defense is atrocious. We might put up 125 against them

Duke’s first (and only) guard off the bench Caleb Foster is out for the NCAAT.

The worst is “ wild” if I see one more tweet or reddit post having to do with college hoops , where the overall descriptor is “ wild” I’ll choke someone out.

That big goof Hotballs recently on the topdogs podcast with Dauster used the word “ wild” 47 times.*

* Yeah I’m a big enough loser to count. Isn’t that wild?

Don't get too excited, it was Morehead State they turned it on against.

Miss St. and South Carolina both out in the 1st round. 4 of Auburn's 6 best wins on the season came against those teams. Just saying.

I scheduled a hernia surgery yesterday so I can sit at home for the next four days watching basketball and hopped up on opiates…
Pay attention to the post-surgery lifting limits, and it's likely to be a 'speed bump' of an experience before you get back to normal on a relatively predictable schedule.

Lift too much too soon, and you could be dealing with a re-do or a mess.

Sec hasn’t impressed much so far. Both teams were beaten badly.
