It takes a lot, but I'm actually being entertained by the NBA Playoffs, particularly the Knicks-Celtics series. The Celtics are going for a repeat and are the No.1 seed, the Knicks are No.6. But the Knicks are up 2-0, thanks to sweeping the first two games at Boston. Both games the Knicks were behind, by a lot. They won game 1 in OT 108-105, game 2 by 1 point, 91-90. Now the series switches to Madison Square Garden. Is the pressure all on Boston? You'd think. But it might be on the Knicks. Boston loves the 3. But so far, they're 25/100, 28/100, they might be up 2-0. If the Knicks win game 3, I think it's over. But what if the Celtics win? In the other Eastern series Indiana is up 2 on the Cavaliers, The Pacers won game 2, despite being down by 7 points with :35 left. In the West, Denver won game 1 in OKC, 121-119. But OKC won game 2, 149-106. Golden State and Minnesota are 1-1. Steph Curry is out for now with a hamstring.

If ever an award should have been unanimous, it's this one.

I don't know if Michigan helped themselves by being swept , Run Ruled in game 3 by Oregon during the season. Grein was off the last series of the season, Sokolsky came in, wrapped it up. Sokolsky got the start against Michigan, didn't have it, Grein came in, still doesn't have it back. Hopefully both will have it next week.

Conference championship games need to be abolished. Talk about devaluing a season? The NBA has trouble getting people to watch until the Playoffs, so they even have a ridiculous Tournament during the season! Of course they also have a Play-in round. But it makes some sense because it lets teams at the bottom crawl in to the Playoffs, but it does not make them a champion!

Notre Dame will continue to be the albatross but quelling the ACC & B12 is good.

Final Game summary at the end of the thread! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As you know, I have a special dark place in my heart for the Bastard-Huskies, and even sweeping them would not be enough. They are 27-22 compared to Oregon's 35-13, and they are 15-9 in B1G play, nipping at the Ducks' heels of 16-8 in conference action. SIDEARM Integrations GODUCKS.COM First pitch on Friday is at 6:05 p.m. with Saturday's first pitch at 2:05 p.m. and Sunday's at 12:05 p.m.

Looks like all of those will be accomplished by winning.

Michigan got everything right, Oregon got everything wrong.

It would definitely help the Ducks' SOS if Beavis won, not sure if it would have a demoralizing effect on Iowa...it could fire them up! Clearly, less than 2 of 3 against the Mutts is unacceptable, and if UCLA were to lose a couple, that would be fine.

Just what we want to see in a mid-week series. Now, get ready for the purple puppies!

Oregon has guards that can do that, need some who can shoot good!

This ^^^ is GOOD!

Quack, Quack is right! From a Buck to a Duck!!!! Welcome, Sean!

Oh yes, Oregon should have been loyal, done the right thing, and stayed in the Pac. Go B1G or go home!

Duck definitely stands out in that Top 4.

NIL, Transfer Portal have created this. It's always good to have a commitment, but they were never sure things. Now? With two transfer QB's finding success at Oregon, the recruits keep coming. It's a strange time.

"Great defensive play" from Garate and Walsh is happening every game now, and Aroz slamming homers, along with the leading home run hitter in the country, Mason Neville! Drew Smith, Mr. Consistency.

They sure would! If Sarr is at all comparable to Ant-Man, I don't understand how, why, Duke or Kentucky haven't wrapped him up. If the Ducks had had a player that could get to the rim like he can last season...

Okay, looks like Women's Golf is not big in the B1G.
