I am not an avid follower of MM, but one thing is clear this season. The Big 10 is head and shoulders above other leagues.

St. John's played strong, but Dook hung tough at the end, 85-70.

You do know that UConn is playing your Illini on 4/4, don't you?

You do know that UConn is playing your Illini on 4/4, don't you?

Wasn't dissing on Dook, just enjoying the moment.

[O Really]

Some would say Dook deserves some dissing. Surely one of the biggest collapses in their storied history and, with due respect to a talented and determined UConn, was pretty much inexcusable. Same thing got the "other" blue team's coach fired last week.
Sing it, Sabrina.

Was up by 19.
Could have just held the ball.
Still, who expects a "logo 3" from a player whose shooting had been crap?
Does Illinois deserve to get jinxed by Chicago Dog?
"Sing" what?

[O Really]

"Sing" what?
