I have nothing against Bruce Pearl at all...I think he's a great guy. I've met him on multiple occasions, and think he's a blast. Ask tmac.Originally Posted by hldngaflush
We shouldn't have lost to Oakland at home, but it's not a bad loss. Now I see you're an Illini fan. It makes complete sense now. I'm not arguing with any Illini fan when it comes to a Bruce Pearl coached team. It's ignorant and pointless.
That still doesn't excuse the fact that Tennessee should never lose to Oakland at home. Like I said, if you have to defend that loss with your life, your program is not in good shape. -

We lost to two teams last year with RPI's well below 100 and still made the Elite 8. It's December.
lol dude he's a Big 10 basketball guy......they're not relevant lately......Tennessee will be fine this year......Sweet 16 at the worst -

Illinois' probation had zero to do with the Deon Thomas situation that they were reported for. The NCAA came in and sniffed around enough to find other violations. -

Yes, and I don't hold it against Pearl at all...he was a wet-behind-the-ears coach getting into the game. Probably did just want Dr. Tom wanted him to do.Originally Posted by hldngaflush

Don't get me wrong, he was probably the biggest cheater in D2 while he was at USI. But one of my asst. coaches was a very good friend of his and told me all kinds of great partying stories about him. Couple that with the fact that I think he's a good guy from meeting him, and I honestly have nothing against him.
I know I'm in the vast minority of Illini fans, but it is what it is.
He's 100% a slimeball when it comes to bball/recruiting...even you know that. But 90% of D1 coaches are. -

MSU won in 2000, IU was runner up in 2002, Illinois was runner up in 2005, Ohio St. runner up in 2007 and MSU in 2009.
Big Ten is arguably the best conference this year and will be in the top 2 for the next number of years. They are stock piling talent.
