He misses a clutch free-throw in regulation against Minnesota, he got a stupid fucking "All Eyes On Me" type tattoo, during introductions its claimed he is from Detroit when in reality he lives in Sterling Heights and went to the very un-ghetto OLSM and now he is saying, "We still have things to prove" Ya think! You backed your asses into a co-Big Ten championship only because you played a Purdue without Robbie Hummell.

I know, I know, he hit winning shots against Minnesota and Michigan. Excellent. However, his performance and leadership has been a touch suspect outside of those two cases. Don't even get me started on Durrell Summers. Lazy asshole.

I give it a 50/50 chance they get by NMSU.

If their defense shows up....

I was hoping they'd get Duke's regional so I could pick them in the sweet 16. Not against KU though.

Are you off your bipolar medication again, Bukdow?

Fine, keep sleeping on MSU. No chance that we lose to a team that only is in the tourny because they won their conference tourny. Further, Izzo owns March and doesn't lose 1st round games to a coach that hasn't EVER coached in the tournament.

Further, their defense is atrocious. MSU by 12 is a lock.

George Mason

George Mason had been in the tournament before as well as their coach.

The coach for NMS has NEVER coached in the tournament before. Learn to read.

Sorry, tough guy. You're much more awesome than me.

That "limp off to the lockerroom wincing, only to return 2 minutes later and check back into the game" was very Mateenesque.

I also hear Izzo says Draymond Green is Mateenesque

That NMSU team was a disgrace to college athletics. Nothing but a bunch of crack baby thugs. The coach is about as slimey as one can get. Worked under Calipari and Steve Fisher, that about says it all. Truly an embarrassment to the concept of student-athlete. Teams like that are better left out of the tournament regardless of their record.

I almost perfectly imagined that post the second I saw all of the neck tats on the NMS players.

Men will try anything to get out of work and chores and instead watch the NCAA basketball tournament.

But undergo vasectomies?

Dr. Bill Utz said his procedure schedule today includes men who timed their birth-control procedures so they could recover during March Madness. Of course, he recommends that men rest for only one day after — but some patients have side effects such as an irrational desire to punch Kalin Lucas in the face.

"Men will take a little advantage of it; everybody knows that," said Utz, who is part of Edina-based Urology Associates.

"That's how it works. We suggest the guys ice it and stay off their feet for 24 hours. Some will take it a little farther than that."

Scheduling vasectomies timed to March Madness is part trend, part urban legend and part ingenuous marketing.

The American Medical News reported this month on clinics giving recovery kits, including neck tattoos and sports magazines. A Michigan clinic expanded procedure slots for its "Snip City" campaign to get men in before Thursday's start of the tournament.

Utz said some of his patients selected this time frame while others were just enjoying their good luck.

Tim, a 35-year-old from Minneapolis, plans to take full advantage of his recovery time and watch hoops on Saturday.

"Oh, yeah, I am!" said the father of two and a half who declined to be fully identified because of the nature of the medical procedure. "If I can sit on my rich mahogany and let my wife get me stuff, why not?"

The clinic even gave him a brochure with a stereotypical picture of a man recovering in a recliner while his wife reads the Smithsonian to him.

"I have that open on the counter at home," Tim joked.

Turns out, the vasectomy isn't just the official procedure of March Madness. It also supports a Tradition Unlike Any Other.

Utz's schedule before the Masters golf tournament has been booked for weeks.

"You're having a vasectomy because you don't want to appear on the Maury show," Utz said, "so you're at that age when you're expected to help out around the house. (Right after a vasectomy) you really can't."

The curse of bukdow.

No Lucas, no problem.

Torn Achilles?

That seems to be the prevailing thought.

Torn Achilles?

I think its stretched. If it were torn, he would not have got up and hobbled down court to play defense.

3 degrees now?

Gla, what does the wife think, "possible"?

So can they beat OSU without him?

So can they beat OSU without him?

35%, yes and 65%, no.

LOL @ MSU for being 80% sure Lucas won't start.

When did a weatherman become a spokesman for the team???

"Oh no! Kalin... you ASSHAT"

Healthy we go to the final four, now, beating osu is a possibility, a lot more possible with lucas. Odds are against us, but the final 4 is still doable.
