Conference Tournament Discussion Thread

  Consider them bounced. Temple is in regardless, but it makes the road easier for one of those A10 bubble teams (St Joe's, Xavier, Dayton) to grab that autobid.
• Azubuike24

  

  Heck, UMass is on the bubble if anyone else in the A-10 sans St. Louis and Temple is.

  NC State's likely played themselves back in.*
  
  *By this I mean everyone ahead of them has played themselves out, and NC State avoided doing that.

  Refs just missed two OBVIOUS goaltendings within 2 minutes in the UC-Syr game. Only in the Big East...
• gorocks99

  

  Well, if the lights go out in Kansas City at least Baylor can usher everyone out with their glow-in-the-dark unis.
• gorocks99

  

  La Salle really just lost 37-29 against Saint Louis? Look out, we got some offense over there.

  That first one was awful.
• Mulva

  

  Baylor is up 43-35 at half on Kansas. I don't think I can remember being less impressed by 2 probable #1 seeds then I've been with Kansas and Syracuse this year (not that there's any shame in losing to Baylor - I've been saying it all year).
  
  One of them will probably win it all and make me look like a dumbass, but I can't believe either of them have won as many as they have.

  Cincy knocks off Cuse to reach the BE finals
• killer_ewok

  

  Helluva rally but just couldn't finish the comeback. I am a bit disappointed but I (obviously) am wanting a national title far more than I wanted the BET. Still a #1 seed, get your mind right and get ready to play your best ball when it really, really counts.
  
  Congrats to Cincy. They played a whale of a game.

  Perry Jones has come out aggressive in the Big 12 tourney. He's only 7/18 tonight, but he just made a nasty post move to put Baylor up 67-62.
• Azubuike24

  

  Tennessee literally staying alive. Skylar McBee just hit a 30-footer, banked in...to tie it. Heading to OT.
• Azubuike24

  

  Mississippi beats Tennessee in New Orleans.
  
  The freaking Ole Miss Rebels are probably now on the bubble line...crazy.
• Mulva

  

  Xavier down 10 at half to Dayton. Arizona down 7 at half to Oregon State.
  
  Looks like Colorado State and SDSU are playing a good one right now. Unfortunately I don't get CBSSN or whatever that station is called.

  Who is gonna be the Cinderella this year? Just wondering. I say St. Mary or Murray State
• Azubuike24

  

  Murray State at 30-1 would be a cinderella in name only. If we're talking Final Four for a team not seeded in the 1-3 range, this year, that's a cinderella no matter what league they come from...
• karen lotz

  

  Irish look good tonight
• Azubuike24

  

  Colorado State falls by 10 to SDSU.
  Miami down 9 in the 2nd half to FSU.
  Xavier and Dayton in a battle late.
  Arizona is going to advance to the Pac 12 Finals.
  
  Bubble teams need to hope for California to win, and limit the Pac 12 considerations to 2 teams.
• Azubuike24

  

  Likely Nevada/New Mexico State #3 tomorrow night. That should be a nice game to finish out the night watching...two dangerous teams.
• Manhattan Buckeye

  Vandy plows Georgia, setting up a potential UK-Vandy final, they've been one of the few teams that can match up with the Cats.
• Mulva

  

  Arizona - Colorado final in the Pac-12, so bid stolen there. Possibly from fellow Pac-12 team Washington.
  
  If it gets more than 2 bids it would be a disgrace.
  
  Louisiana Tech beats Nevada. Wolfpack's luck finally ran out. They went 13-1 in the WAC, but won 9 conference games by single-digits and 5 of them by four points or less. No top 50 wins and only 4 in the top 100, so I'd say they have 0 chance of an at-large.
• Mulva

  

  Memphis is rolling. They could be terrifying for a 2-seed in the 2nd round.
• Azubuike24

  

  Memphis probably moving up to a 6 or 7. I'm glad, I don't want UK to see them in round 2...
• Mulva

  

  Jimmy Dykes thinks the fact that Kentucky's players don't have headbands or 1 sock higher than the other means that they'll have long NBA careers.
• centralbucksfan

  Donovan continued use of letting Walker and Boynton fire away befuddles me. They absolutely kill Florida with their poor shot selections and decisions.
