Couch Musings - December 16th
Predictions for tonight's Ohio State-Texas Tech game and Friday's games are posted. I am not expecting the predicted winners or the percentage chance to change that much before tomorrow. I only posted Friday's a day early because traveling tonight may preclude me getting the data perfect for the games. Feel free to yell at me if I get them wrong.
- The MRI went 2 for 3 last night, missing the Depaul-Northwestern game. It only gave Depaul a 55% chance of winning going into the game, so this wasn't as big an upset as it seemed on the floor. This was one of only two games the MRI missed last night. As you could see from my recap of the game, it wasn't very exciting to watch. While Northwestern makes you want to root for them, when they play so slow and deliberate, it is hard to really get the motivation going. The challenge game of the night is Ohio State-Texas Tech. Bobby Knight will be looking to exact some hurt on the Buckeyes after they dissed him in the off-season for the head coaching job. Count on the Red Raiders fans helping them to victory.
- Best quote from Rick Majerus's press conference yesterday: "If they want me to go on the horse and throw the spear, I'll do it. The poor horse might not like it."
- Second best quote: "I have had seven bypasses...you know, one for every major food group (crowd laughing)...two from the barbeque division."
- Third best quote: "I want to congratulate Pete Carroll and Matt Leinart and the football team. If they ever need me to suit up and be a suburban, white Gilbert Brown...I can do that.
- Now you see why I will miss this guy calling college basketball games on ESPN. I hope his press conferences continue to be this much fun.
