There certainly is no fan clamor for expansion

How can you consider a team with this weak of a résumé among the ranks of teams such as Michigan State (28 RPI), Ohio State (32 RPI), Gonzaga (25 RPI), or Baylor (17 RPI).There is no way in my mind that a team like Northern Iowa can compete and beat teams like the ones I just listed, and these are teams who they will see in the tournament in basically every round. Their record is now 5-6.However, despite that loss and the losses in Puerto Rico, the team has playedexceptionally well, and even beat Pittsburgh in New York at Madison Square Garden, and stuck with fourth-ranked Kentucky for a good 25-30 minutes before inexperience and lack of poise at the free throw line let Kentucky take over.Freshman guard Maurice Creek was the star of that game, scoring 31 points on some of the nations top players, shooting 9-14 from the field, including five three-pointers, and went 8-8 from the free throw line.He was also leading the nation's freshman in scoring, and along with fellow freshman forward Christian Watford, sophomore guard Verdell Jones, and junior guard Jeremiah Rivers, the Hoosiers were brimming with confidence, and ready to take the Big Ten by storm and upset some teams.Fast forward to now.The Hoosiers are currently mired in an eight-game losing streak that shows no sign of ending.There is blame to be all around, but mainly, this team justdoesn't believe in themselves anymore.In the game against Bryant University, Indiana wins convincingly, but loses Maurice Creek to a season ending knee injury.Just a few days later, the rest of the Hoosiers step up as Indiana wins their first Big Ten game of the season, 71-65, over Michigan.Since then, the squad has gone through many ups and downs.There was the overtime win versus Minnesota and the road win at Penn State, IU's first road victory in 23 months. The game against Puerto Rico will begin at 11:00am while the Sam Houston game start time will be announced at a later date. The Panthers finish out the month against Hill College on Wednesday, March 31, with a 6:00pm start time at home. They close out their spring schedule at the McNeese State Tournament in Lake Charles on Saturday, April 10.. Eric Berry thought he was the best safety to ever come out of the SEC. He also has the size (6'4", 245) to be a huge threat in the redzone.

There certainly is no fan clamor for expansion...anyone notice the near-empty arenas for the NIT games? Nope, the only ones driving this bus and the folks poised to make a buck.The tournament is supposed to be a "championship"...that should mean that the participants actually have a chance to win it. To me, it seems like the Cardinals underestimated the fallout that was going to occur.”First and foremost was the recent criticism of McGwire by several members of the Cardinals family. Occasionally he'll slam through a linebacker he's deceivingly fast! That 60 yard run against the Raiders was ridiculous You wouldn't expect a power back have that kind of speed. Machado leads Iona in scoring and assists with 12.4 points and 3.9 assists. My Prediction: William & Mary 69, Iona 61 Siena at Butler: Saturday, Feb.

Each team has a 23 man roster, and if you select a player off waivers, then you have to waive another to stay at 23 players.If you have less than this is, it's a bonus as you don't have to waive anyone if you select a player. Shanahan has a project in quarterback Jason Campbell, but the 10th ranked defense in the league gives him a solid base to build on. I mentioned in a recent article that the Missouri Tigers' 2010 recruiting class had reached its maximum capacity of 24 members.As it turns out, 23 may end up being the more accurate number.By now, I'm sure any Missouri fan is fully aware of the switcheroo made by cornerback prospect Dexter McDonald , who on Thursday decommitted from the Tigers in favor of the Kansas Jayhawks.McDonald's decision came as a shock to many, but with only five days remaining until National Signing Day, Missouri is left with its hands somewhat tied?although it appears doing nothing may be the preferred course of action for the Tigers, anyhow.Per NCAA rules , Missouri reserves the right to make a last-ditch effort for players, both committed and undecided, between now and Monday (Feb. Let me start out by saying that I am not a Peyton Manning fan for reasons that I will not get into; they are irrelevant.While I do at times indulge in the "overrated!" and "choker!" Manning bashing and would actually take Eli Manning over his brother if I were building a team.
