LTP is caling it the most important game in NU basketball history. Fresh off a win at Mackey, the Wildcats could very well punch a ticket to the dance with a win today in Columbus.

The Buckeyes need the win nearly as badly. While we think the Bucks may have already done enough for an invitation to the tournament, a win here would provide insurance in case they flame-out in the first round of the conference tourney.

Should be another nerve-wracking fun Sunday of Buckeye basketball. Turner had one of his worst outings of the season when the teams met in Evanston and here's to hoping he's a little revenge-motivated this evening.

Well, the trend of late has been teams coming off the nadir of their season to blow us off the court, so hopefully that voodoo will be turned on its head after NW's win at Mackey.

You know, no offense to BJ, but it pisses me off to no end that the only time you hear a success story is when the guy can play ball. What about the kids who achieve academically and get out of a fucked up situation? Or the kid who joins the military and overachieves? Good on BJ but please let people know you don't have to be a jock to achieve in life.
