Watching the Ohio/ Micigan game. DJ Cooper is carrying OU. He is the type of player that can carry a team in big games. Most teams at the MAC level don't have that type of player. Thats one reason I'm watching this game tonight.

and they are in an easy bracket. a way over rated Michigan team, and a second round against one of two average teams. won't be surprised if they make it to the sweet sixteen.

Kitties win. It was a great game. Stop knocking Michigan, they were on top of the Big Ten.
DJ can play with the big boys. In fact, now I don't feel so bad. They are a very good team. |

(Holding my nose as I type this) Gotta hand it to OU ... two years ago and again this year they W-I-N a game that really matters.

Good for OU. Though I am NOT an OU fan. As I have watched them the last couple of weeks they clearly have started to play better and have risen to the occasion in big games.

Lehigh up by 5 over Duke on CBS with less than a minute to go.
Norfolk State, OU, and possibly Lehigh.  Man I hate not dancing on a neutral court ...

So who are the names for the new OU coach? Do they have any assistants capable of moving up?

If Groce wasn't getting consideration before by larger schools, he might be now. That being said, if Ohio is smart, they'd try to lock him up and give him a raise. --------------------  |

This has me sooo confused about how to feel. Great for the MAC and great for Mid-Majors. That's the way I like to root. I'm just a little ill knowing that OU has twice tasted NCAA victory in the last couple of years. And at least in the short term, I think it helps THEIR recruiting more than "MAC" recruiting as a whole. Plus, I think it puts a serious damper on our ability to become the successor to Can't as the next great recognizable MAC basketball program.

Now, if a guy is torn between us and them, they can say they beat us twice in the Title game AND won two NCAA Tournament games. The only positive to me is that they may now have a new head coach next season. |
