    Horrible call on jake odum. His fourth.

    Dunk City making a run after being down 16 at half.

    Almost every mag and publication I read had Mercer as the preseason favorites. Looks like it will come to fruition.

    34-0 is quite an achievement, regardless of schedule.

    Vermont going down in the America East.

    Refs butchering the end of the W&M - Towson game on NBCSN. Called a Towson player out of bounds incorrectly and reversed in on review. Only problem is the 5 other players down around the ball were from William & Mary. Had the whistle not blown there was a 0% chance of Towson recovering. They ended up going to the possession arrow on replay, which gave it back to Towson.
  • Mulva
    Top seeds choking all over the place in the small conferences. High Point, Green Bay, FGCU, Belmont, Vermont, and now Davidson all knocked out.

    The 14-16 lines could be awful this year.

    Nice work

    A Nebraska win over Wisconsin tonight is bad news for the bubble teams out there. With a 4th place finish in the Big Ten at 11-7, including wins @Michigan State, Ohio State and Wisconsin, and an 8-1 mark over the final month of the season, I don't see how the committee leaves the Huskers out.

    Cincinnati finishes 26-5 (15-3) and with a share of the AAC championship. That should wrap of a 3 or 4 seed for the Bearcats.

    UConn hit a bit of a roadblock today, getting trashed by Louisville. Something like 80 to 48. Brutal.

    I'd give them a #3 as of now.

    Joel Embiid is flying to LA to seek a back specialist's opinion on his injured back.

    For some reason, I have a bad feeling about this.

    Shit, if UC is a 3 I'd bet almost anything Ohio State would be the 6. Please don't do that committee.

    That'd be one very ugly offensive basketball game.

    It would set basketball back 50 years. Just let Kilpatrick and Ross play one on one and first to 21 wins.

    Wright State is projected as a 16 seed. They'll be the first one to beat a #1. MARK IT DOWN.

    I'm not going to mark it down.

    Hope this helps.

    William & Mary looking for first ever tournament bid. 74-68 lead has turned into a 75-74 deficit in the final 75 seconds or so.

    Fouled to give up 2 points, missed free throw, fouled and gave up a 3 point play, missed a shot, gave up another bucket.
  • Mulva
    And they miss at the buzzer. Some schools are just cursed.
  • reclegend22
    Delaware edges out William & Mary on a go-ahead basket with 10 seconds left for a birth in the NCAA Tournament.

    The MAAC title game between Iona and Manhattan is a two-point game with under 20 seconds on ESPN2.

    This is my favorite week of the season.
  • Azubuike24
    Pretty dumb for Sean Armand to give the ball up and let a guy take his FIRST THREE EVER when you're down 3 and an NCAA bid on the line :(
  • reclegend22
    I didn't get that either.

    Kind of pissed that Iona will be missing out. The Gaels aren't as dangerous as they were last year with MoMo Jones, but Sean Armand and company can score in bunches and would've been fun to watch in a one-and-done game.

    Embiid out indefinitely.

    ESPN ticker an hour ago said Self expects him back very soon.
