We haven't broken out this feature for a while (and with the B10/NCAA Tourneys coming, we wont have space for it for a while), so tonight is a good night to jam out.
In honor of Corey Haim, and since it's apparently 80s day here at tBBC, we bring you The Jim Carroll Band with one of my favorite 80s tunes "People Who Died"
Classic tune.
If you ever saw "The Basketball Diaries" with Leonardo DiCaprio, that was the story of Jim Carroll. It was a great movie about a true poet. Check it out if you haven't already.

Oregon QB Jeremiah Masoli charged with theft
Reality - Masoli was charged with theft from an incident in January at a fraternity house.
What Oregon fans will say - Those Oregon prosecutors are going to be shocked when this comes to trial. They've never seen speed like this before. The case will be over by halftime.
Big Ten Tournament Preview

Tomorrow at 2:30 begins the last ditch effort for several teams to continue to play basketball for the season. Some of the unfortunate ones may get lucky and see the floor during the NIT, but we all know that there are no points for second place. Everyone who's not already punched their ticket for the tournament knows that this is their last chance to do it. They've just gotta win 4 games in as many days against very stiff competition.
You just have to love March!
As Big Ten Tournament fields go, this has to be one of the deepest in recent memory. In this article, I'm going to try to convince you that the team I've picked to win will manage it. Let's be clear though, I could probably concoct a reasonable argument for 11 seeded Penn State to pull this one out in the end. That should give you a pretty fair idea of the mental wrestling I've played with this bracket. Just trust me, though, you do not want to take this to Vegas because as far as I can see right this very moment, anything can happen.
Oh, and apparently it's 80's week at tBBC. Who knew?

Way too early discussion of the NCAA Tournament

Wait, NCAA Tournament? Why are we talking about that when there's another important Tournament looming right around the corner? Well, my faithful reader, it's quite simple. We are here to discuss all of those things on which the Big Ten Tournament may effect, both for Ohio State and the greater Big Ten as a whole. We'll get to the more important questions regarding the Big Ten Tournament itself tomorrow.
There are a couple questions we want to answer here today so we'll hit each of them in turn starting from the relatively least important to the most important. If there are any questions that you, the reader, have, feel free to ask and we shall answer to the best of our ability. So bang a gong, let's get it on!
Oh the 80's hair...it's everywhere...

MaliBuckeye gave you the news a few hours ago aboutthe NCAA Bracket Challenge we're hosting here at tBBC. Go sign up for an account and get ready to select your bracket. I'm going to be upping the ante and adding prizes before the Dance begins.
But now it's time for the big announcement. CBS Sports will be providing The Buckeye Battle Cry with a stand-alone player that will be streaming LIVE every single game in the NCAA Tournament.

- Live outside of the great state of Ohio, but still want to see the Buckeyes?
- Want to keep a close eye on Siena and make sure they lose before they get to us?
- Got a bracket-buster playing outside your region and want to keep tabs on them?
The Buckeye Battle cry can help! We'll be providing the media player sometime next week, and it will be free to all our readers. So relax....you're going to get to see your favorite team live on this very site!
We'll give you more details as we get them.

tBBC Tournament Challenge

It seems that around this time every year, we look for answers to the deep questions of life, such as:
- Will Thad, Evan, Threebler be able to progress deep into the tourney after not going deep into their bench all season?
- Will the loss of Titus be the emotional glue that pulls the team together, like when that guy who's on Sons of Anarchy was in a car crash at the end of Remember the Titans and it kept him from going to Ohio State but inspired them to win the state title?
- Will this be the year that a 16 upsets a 1 seed? Will someone explain to me if it's "cede" or "seed", and why?
- Will Kentucky's youth be their downfall? Will UK be on probation within one year or two of Calipari's tenure?
- Will Eric be able to post coherent summaries of each game in under 5 minutes of completion? One of the few times where finishing fast is a virtue...
- How many of our male tBBC readers will be making "extra efforts" in order to stay at home and watch the first round games?
- How far will the Lady Buckeyes go in their tournament dance?
- Which bracket strategy will be most successful- "Mascots in a fight", "Favorite colors", or "I knew someone who went there..."?
- and, most importantly- Who will have bragging rights for one year's worth of live chats?
This year's winner will receive their choice of a t shirt from tBBC store (shameless plug), as well as the opportunity to rule over tBBC as "Smartest picker of them all".
We've partnered with our friends at CBS Sports for this year's bracket; if you don't have an account with them, you'll need to sign up.

Good luck, and Go Bucks!!

No, it's not the national awards, but the news just broke....Evan Turner and Thad Matta have picked up top honors in the Big Ten.
According to OhioStateBuckeyes.com;
The Big Ten Conference office announced on Monday the 2010 All-Big Ten men's basketball teams and individual award winners. Ohio State's Evan Turner captured the conference's highest honor, as he was named Big Ten Player of the Year in voting by conference coaches and media.
Turner's selection was unanimous.
It better have been....

Men's Big Ten Tournament and Jon Diebler

After taking a break to enjoy CK's coverage of the Women's Big Ten tournament I'm back to provide you all of the Men's Basketball coverage you can possibly stand. But first: Congratulations to the Women's team for winning the regular season and tournament for the second year running. That is a singularly impressive feat and really goes to emphasize just how much Jim Foster has started to dominate in the Big Ten. Now if only he could translate that to deep runs into the NCAA Tournament and this team would stand with the likes of Connecticut, and Tennessee.
Ok, maybe that's a bit of a stretch, but you get the point.
We're finally into March, the month of "Win or go home". Suddenly, every single game is incredibly exciting, though few will match the epic clash of titans that was last year's 6 overtime slugfest between Syracuse and Connecticut. Most of the games will feel about this good, though, as everyone attempts to play to survive. This Thursday's games in the Big Ten in particular should be very interesting.
