No doubt a lot left to play.... but I have seen years where the Committee seemingly ignored the conference tourney results.
Purdue loses to MSU on a great 3pt shot by an AA... On the road.. Kansas loses again, they have won the B12 more than 10 years in a row... Looking like that will come to the end this year. Ohio State is crushing Iowa right now and are clearly in charge of the B1G. VA TECH and UVA in a tight game.. If UVA wins they will be #1
Tennessee goes to Bama and Bama shows what happens to Tennessee after a big win. Congrats to KP and Brian.
What a finish @UVA, Va Tech looked dead in the OT but snatched it away with 30sec to go and get the 1 pt win. Who will be #1? Villanova retain in spite of the loss earlier this week or will it be MSU or even Xavier?
I see that Scott's Aggies prolonged John Calapari's nightmare...all those NBA players and he's lost 3 in a row and might even drop out of the top 25.
Great day for the Buckeyes, first sell out crowd since 2014, a good victory over Iowa with great rebounding and defense. Prize recruits in attendance. The men's hockey team even managed to win over Notre Dame in South Bend. :wink:
Auburn seems to be the class of the SEC this year. Below them is about 7-8 teams of pretty equal ability. Gators are like what kp said about Bama, never know who is going to show up, a Jekyll and Hyde team. One big problem with us is a big in the middle. We had a good one who got a knee injury this time last year and is cleared to practice now. Most Gators think he will not play at Florida again but move on to the pros overseas. He could make a major difference in our team. As of now we are projected as a 10 seed meaning projected to go home after game one.
The Aggies managed to hold on... after building a 21 pt lead in the 2nd half... we lost PG Wilson again... and were forced to rely on the freshman Starks. Kid has talent, but doesn't seem to have any concept of ball security right now. UK managed to cut the lead down to 9 thanks to some VERY sloppy ball handling by the Ags... But we held on. From what I heard... we may not see the senior back again, so someone has to drill the kid on taking care of the ball! I think we might be off the bubble at this point, but still gotta keep winning. Bill - the Gators just need to work down to a 12... then you get to play a second game! ;-)
UVA inspite of the home loss to Va.Tech in OT is the new #1 with Michigan State who beat #3 Purdue at the buzzer at home is #2. I really thought MSU would climb into the #1 slot. But who knows what upsets might happen this week. The Big Monday Game is a womans game tonight Unbeaten UConn vs #3 Louisville.
Longhorns lost their 3rd straight last night in a 2OT thriller, but thrilling or not it's another loss and closer to another season with no NCAA. Natives are getting restless with Shaka Smart. Irish lost to UNC last night, played them close till UNC found their shooting touch late in the 2nd half and then just ran away with it. Irish just don't have enough firepower on offense without Bonzie Colson. Unlikely that team will make the NCAA's. Will need to have something improbable happen and for Bonzie to return for the ACC Tourney and bring some magic with him. That big matchup between UConn Women and Lousiville wasn't much of a matchup ...UConn jumped on them from the outset and cruised to an easy victory.
Like you, I thought it would be a close game. I even thought that L'ville had a chance for the win based on how badly they beat the ND women. Oh well.....
Going to the MD/NU game tonite.....gonna be about 11-12 rows up right behind one of the baskets.....game's on B1G network..1800 CST tip off.......I'm gonna have my St. Louis Cards shirt on....Look for me!! :lol: I'm also gonna have a THESKYBOX.COM sign.........maybe we'll get some free promo.....
AJ, I will be looking for you if I can spot you on my B&W TV! Might be easier if I had a color set and cable. :wink:
