Under the radar game today.
Middle Tennessee (20-2) playing at Vanderbilt. MTSU has won 12 in a row, they are going to absolutely roll in the Sun Belt, and this could really cement themselves an at-large bid. Win here, they are almost assured of a 30-win season. They would be 21-2 with 11 likely games left. They play at North Texas and at Denver in the next 2, the two best teams in the conference (besides MTSU). The remaining games (5 more Sun Belt games) would be all against teams who are 4 or more games under .500 and then the conference tournament.

I'd like to see North Texas win the Sun Belt auto-bid. Tony Mitchell is a beast.

Glad he's not on Missouri...scary.
MTSU up 6 on Vandy.
Florida up 3 on Miss. State at half.
Alabama desperately needs a win, up 7 over Arkansas at half.

Refs will need an escort out of the Dome today. That was pathetic.

Definitely a bad missed call there on the goaltend.
Oh well, Syracuse was gonna come down court and knock down a GW-buzzer beater anyways so it would not have mattered.

As a Duke fan, I'd be lying if I said that my team hasn't benefitted from a game-altering call at home -- to one extent or another, all of the elite programs do -- but West Virginia got mugged in upstate New York today. Wow. It's a shame to see, but, as I said, it's happened before and it will happen again in the future. It's just the nature of games being decided by the judgement of human beings without the benefit of being able to check the tape. Until there is some sort of rule set in place that allows for particular plays to be reviewed further during end-of-game situations, human error will always be a factor.
Again, not a knock of Syracuse. Duke has benefitted from this in the past, too. Clemson in '07, when the Duke clock operator conspicuously added an extra second to the game clock so that Duke had enough time to travel the length of the court and win at the buzzer, is a primary example. The officials either didn't notice, or didn't care to.

Gotta be Chris Allen from Michigan State.
BTW, Terrence Jones is abusing a good LSU frontcourt today...UK rolling in Baton Rouge.

Colorado, the "darling" of the Pac 12 thus far...getting crushed by UCLA. And some are still debating whether this league deserves multiple bids...

Terrence jones has really impressed me this year. He was good last year but this year he has stepped it up and been the main guy. When he's playing well Kentucky is tough to beat

Really? He has sucked most of the year, even had his starting spot taken from him and has had attitude issues. Seems to have overcome it all, and is playing well again though.Crimson streak;1068727 wrote:Terrence jones has really impressed me this year.

Jones often plays his best against lesser teams in games that don't mean much. LSU quite frankly, is not very good.Laley23;1068877 wrote:Really?
