Conference Tournament Discussion Thread

    Terrence Jones was the x-factor in that game. There has been a feeling all week that UK wishes they could just skip this Tournament. He provided a spark.

    Walker and Boynton can't do anything against UK, too small. They only attempted 19 shots combined, in a normal game at this pace that would be like 30+.

    Lamar wins the Southland. The worst group of seniors ever are going dancing.

    Took me a sec to figure out what you meant. Then it hit me. Nice one!

    Either that speech lit a fire underneath them or he's just an idiot

    X beats St. Louis. They're probably a lock at this point. They play St. Bonaventure in the A-10 title game tomorrow. Andrew Nicholson is a beast, but probably a game Xavier should win.

    UC with 6 points in the first 12:30 of the BECG

    First team to 50 wins. Typical Big East Tournament circa 2012. Although you had to know this going in with a Cincinnati/Louisville final...
  • chicago510
    14 in the first half for UC? :confused::confused::thumbdown:
  • Azubuike24
    That game just set basketball back a long time.

    How awful is UC? Really. This was NOT a good year for the Big East. I honestly can't see either of those teams getting past the first weekend...
  • dave
    Yeah UC is horrible, all they've done is beat Louisville, GTown, Marquette, and Cuse in the last couple weeks. They only play 6 guys, they were out of gas tonight.

    Sure doesn't say much about the SEC either seeing that the Big East is better overall.

    Im not even sure this is true this year.

    UK and Syracuse
    Vandy and Marquette
    Florida and Geortegown


    Those could go either way.

    Big East, as always, is deeper. But in terms of % I dont know. Especially since the Big East is SOOOOOO unbalanced. USF finished 4th and didnt play a single good team on the road.

    I wouldn't be surprised to see the SEC last longer than the Big East, despite getting half the teams in. And we're excluding UK and Cuse here.

    Can you honestly have watched UC and UL and not question whether those teams could win more than 1 or 2 NCAA games? That's the first Big East final in forever where I can say that...

    UNC getting hammered by FSU. Wow.
  • Fly4Fun
    Any chance another big loss to FSU could knock UNC out of a 1 seed?
  • wes_mantooth
    This Kentucky team has the typical M.O. of any Calipari coached team.....being the most talented, but not winning it all.
  • dave
    congrats to the Bonnies, love seeing teams play their way in.

    How bout them upsets
  • redstreak one
    UK and UNC both go down in their conference championship. This wont hurt UK, but will it hurt UNC, it will help Florida St.
  • Ironman92
    UK and UNC went down about 40 seconds apart

    won't hurt UK seedwise, but psychologically, losing never helps a young team--especially moving forward
  • chicago510
    FSU is a 3 seed IMO. Their resume is impressive.
    Vandy might be a 4-5.
  • september63
    The Bonnies win just knocked someone off the bubble. I'd say SH is now out!
  • ichsnjb
    How did Vanderbilt beat Kentucky?
  • Iliketurtles
    Gotta love March Madness. Awesome to see the Bonnies get in.
