A win tomorrow probably equals them getting up to the 9 line which you don't want. I think right now they are in that 10 or 11 line but not in the first 4. Really the best case if you aren't in the top 7 line. Plus not sure them getting 4 games this week would be all that conducive for next weekend and success then when it really matters.

Plus a Creighton win probably guarantees them a 6-7 seed.

yeah, totally agree.

hold on, you and I agree 100% on something for like the 2nd time this week. What the hell is going on around here?

So then, we all agree right? X should just lay down tonight.

Get out a little. Bill Walton is at times very entertaining to listen to and at times very tedious to listen to. But, sometimes when he gets on a stream of consciousness it is pretty funny, and because I don't think anyone thinks in the colors that Bill Walton thinks, there is nothing his partner can do to carry along the conversation. So, yes there can be some awkward conversations.
