Minnesota is in now. We can try to forget. However, all those guys on the selection committee are sitting there in the room together watching these guys play like a D-II school. I'll be happy with a 3 seed now.
This reminds me of 1986-87. Purdue shared the Big Ten title with Indiana that year, but they did because they lost their final game of the regular season at unranked Michigan 68-104 - complete blowout - which ended an 8 game winning streak and a ranking of #3. When the seedings came out for the NCAA tournament Indiana received a 1 seed, and Purdue dropped to a 3 seed, despite the records and Purdue still being ranked 7th. The Boilers then struggled to beat Northeastern in the first round, and then fell to an unheralded Florida 66-85 in the next round.
The next year, with the Three Amigos now seniors, they won the Big Ten outright and got that #1 seed.

Let's just forget this one happened. Good for Minnesota... I hope they make the tourney.

what just happened.. I don't know where to start.. I just hope Smooge and LewJack are OK.
Sad to think that this is your best team in school history. Might want to add a few more choices in the poll there.
Sad that you have to eTroll to get kicks in life.
F!
Just please make it past the first round.
I think forgetting this game is an excellent idea.
ugh.
James, this isn't the best team in the last 17 years...who said it was?
Thanks for stopping by.

Yuck!
Daniel- My brother reminded me of that...I think that's a very good comparison. We'll see this afternoon how good on the little details.
