[NU Sports] Dunno if it helps us out ...

... but this MSU/OSU Big Ten title game is outstanding basketball. Great plays, great runs and great excitement. This is the first time I've seen the Big Ten tourney capture the excitement and noise level of the Big East at MSU with UConn/Syracuse or the ACC in Greensboro with UNC/Duke. Great teams, great basketball and hopefully a great finish!

Hopefully it reminds the committee that the Big Ten *is* the top league in the nation this year -- and if you're looking at a 10th team from the Big East (especially one we beat) or a 7th team from the Big Ten, conference affiliation (and/or a head to head win) gets us over the hump.

Keep hoping ... but in the meantime, enjoying a great game of hoops.

GO CATS!!!
