    Longhorns got crushed by Arkansas, lost to OU to end the season and now on the verge of losing to Ole Miss team that isn't very good...I think they might have lost their way out of the NCAA's.

    Who could have predicted that the changes in IU sports, from enduring ugly FB seasons in anticipation of competitive BB seasons to the other way around? IU certainly hit the lottery with the hire of Coach Cignetti but can't seem to do the same in BB as other B10 teams have done. DeVries has a stellar track record, but this season's team, while not a bust, didn't live up to "normal" expectations. I'm guessing he'll get another season or two to ratchet up the competitive level of the program, at least to the point where an NCAA bid won't be in question.

    Buckeyes win their first Big Ten Tournament game this afternoon vs Iowa 72-69. We almost gave it away in the final minutes. Not looking forward to playing Michigan again.

    Miami (OH) lost to UMass and don't be shocked of this costs them a NCAA bid

    It will be an outrage if that happens . IMHO

    Duke wins 80-79 over FSU, They really miss their starting guard, who has been lost for tournament play due to injury.

    We fared far more than I anticipated, but too many matchup problems for my Buckeyes and missed basket baskets in the final minutes. Congratulations Bobda, hope you can go all the way!:D

    Very happy with how they competed today. They look to be healthy and happy to see Jake has them rounding into form, but your boys are a load. Gonna be a tough out in the tourney, lotsa size, lotsa weapons inside and out Very tough to defend. Look for them to make a deep run

    With the injuries Duke is dealing with, MIchigan is the current favorite to win it all.

    Wow what an ending. Az hits a shot at the buzzer to win it. Great game. BDR is probably needing a stiff drink right about now!!
