  1. Yeah Manny Harris is a big omission.

    Talk about star power in Big Ten Tourny this year. The games this year seemed better then some in years past, loved the tournament, and enjoyed it thoroughly this year. Wish i could have been there.

  2. Yeah, I thought the overall quality of basketball was very good this year.

    The officiating? Now that was a bit more up and down.
