Gonna go ahead and prepare myself mentally for the UNC national championship about to ensue and thank various entities that I'll be nowhere near ACC territory when it happens.

Maybe I underestimated Minnesota's badness. Seems like a scary game coming off a tough loss with one day of practice, but yeah, I checked out their recent results and yikes

It hit -11 here the other night and I don't think people would have taken free Minnesota basketball tickets even just to be inside for a couple hours.

Duquesne's basketball team got back home after getting stranded on the turnpike in the snow for almost 24 hours, on their way back from a game at George Mason. At one point they hung out with middle schoolers from Iowa who were likewise stranded in a school bus in the next lane over.


On another topic entirely, Minnesota blew their best non-Rutgers chance for a conference win tonight by losing to Illinois in OT. They're now 6-14, and 0-8 in the B10. And the only two people on the roster who can shoot are both graduating. Good thing Norwood Teague (you remember, the drunken sexually harassing institutional embarrassment) gave Pitino Jr a contract extension and a million-dollar buyout before the season began.

Iowa is up to #4 in the coaches poll. Would be #3 if one coach had put them in the top 10 instead of at #14...

Odd. Wonder which:

Is Painter that petty?

Anyway, Maryland will be an interesting test for Iowa, Terps have played absolutely no one at home yet and lost to the three best teams they've played on the road. Related: gently caress Maryland.

That was my first thought - I wonder how low Virginia's chances of winning were?!

According to his box score, minimum win probability was 0.2% at 70-63 with 22 seconds left, after they'd just turned the ball over. The graph looks even starker:
