It didn't take the Iowa Men's team long to bow out of the 2009 Big Ten Basketball Tournament. The Hawkeyes lost to the Wolverines...by a lot. I lost interest after the Hawks were down 40-19 at half.
Michigan played better than they did earlier in the season when they lost in overtime at Iowa City. Definitely the bottom half of the pairing is the place to be as Michigan now takes on Illinois Friday evening--a winnable game for Michigan.
The loss didn't give us an opportunity to mention 
a favorite spot in downtown Indianapolis, the Coaches Tavern. The small establishment was found while in town for the Big Ten Video Meetings. Owned and operated by Chicago Cub fans, signs of Wrigleyville could be spotted throughout the bar. Old Style is served and the ration of televisions to tables favors the tv. If in Indianpolis this is the place to be. The food we tasted was very good and the pretzels were outstanding. Located a block and a half away from Conseco Fieldhouse, it allows a quick escape between sessions. The below picture is credited to "Big D," the Video Coordinator at Wisconsin. Thanks, Big D.
As the Conference tournaments continue, upsets are almost as popular this week as we're accustomed to seeing in the NCAA's first and second round. At present time we find Kansas, Oklahoma, and Pittsburgh all falling, each with a potential #1 seed on the line. Annually mid-majors take possible NCAA spots from the BCS conference schools, but this year it may be the fellow conferences knock bubble teams off the fence.
