Big Ten Tournament: Day 1 Open Thread
You know, we're still the defending champion in this thing until someone takes it from our cold, dead hands. I'm live at Conseco this afternoon for the three opening round games. Feel free to keep me company in the comments during Iowa vs. Michigan, Indiana vs. Northwestern, and Minnesota vs. Penn State.

And so it begins
I was nearly run over by Todd and John Lickliter as I was making my way off the playing floor. Also, I am not so sure wearing the official T-shirt of Hammer & rails on Day 1 was a good idea. I officially feel underdressed.

On an unrelated note, Cuse’s Onuaku just had a pretty serious sounding knee injury. It’s like us and them are forever linked after that Defend That Digger.
Trying to get that game up on ESPN360
Is Onuaku their Hummel?
A futile crusade to prevent mass ignorance
HammerAndRails, SBNation's Boilermaker Blog
Nah
Maybe their third or fourth best player, averages 11 and 5. But the Cuse fans certainly sound nervous. Onuaku said he heard a pop, apparently.
I bet
Got it up now. If they lose and he’s done, does it cost them a #1?

I kind of doubt it.
But there might be a chance if 2 out of 3 of Duke/WVU/OSU win their conference tournament.
West Virginia
Losing a #1 seed to them would really piss me off.

And down goes Syracuse!

Syracuse
They lost 2 games at the end of the season- that is reason enough for the committee to give the #1 seed to someone else. Though, with the bias towards the BE, I am sure they will still get it even with a player down. They are som much more talented than Purdue could ever be!!
WVU is undeserving. If we win out, we should get the #1!
Big difference
We get multiple games to learn how to play without Robbie and prove ourselves. Syracuse now gets none.

Miami 41, Wake Forest 27. Miami won the regular season game. The Canes are actually not a bad team. They were just awful in ACC play. They were undefeated in the non-conference.

Iowa Question
T-Mill, are you hearing any rumblings at the tourney about Todd Lickliter’s future? The message board for Iowa’s rivals site has been sayin there is rumors goin around the tournament that this is Lickliter’s last game. Just trying to see if its actually being talked about around the tournament.
Interesting that you say that.

My only Ten Dam story
He played when I was in middle school, but I still ran in to him one day in Von’s. He looked like he was roughly 18 feel taller than me at the time.
If memory serves, he was looking at some awful dance music. If so, that makes his playa status all the more impressive.

I feel like all of the Big Ten teams below Wisconsin are entirely bipolar.
Sometimes they look great, even against the good teams, but other times they completely suck against the average teams. Michigan beats Minnesota by 30, Minnesota will beat PSU by 20-whatever…weird season.
Minnesota lost to Indiana.
With all of those big men, they lost to Indiana. That’s just absurd.
I still feel we are much better than we played tonight. The boys didn’t have any kind of intensity.

unfortunately
it’s possible since our win over them will be dismissed since Hummel got injured and anything to help the Big East out will be done. But I think the 1 seeds are going to be Syracuse, Kentucky, Kansas and Duke. It’d make me mad if a team we crushed gets a 1 seed, but itd drive me crazy if we win the Big 10 tourney and WV still gets it over us.
I was thinking that if we win our tournament now we should get a 1st seed
WVU should not be able to trump us
plus, with Syracuse losing, maybe they might get bumped out of a top spot
they have had a couple of losses the last two weeks
Boilers need to take care of business
in our own tournament. The seeds will work out in the end.
Bring It !
I am glad we have an opportunity to payback NU this year. As well- they beat us with Hummel playing- so beating them without him- may seal the deal.
BTW- Your blog is one of the best around. Seriously. You have talent. I have a blog- but it isn’t sports related. Check it out if you want, I put you on my blog roll.
Keep it up- and more importantly … BOILER UP !!!!!
