I can. The Pac-12 is not even as good as the MAC's East division and the tournament champion should be the only team to make it to the NCAA. However, a perceived strength of schedule will put multiple bids in from one of these conferences and not the more deserving conference.

Seton Hall loses by 28 to Depaul. Ouch.

Long Beach St and UT Arlington both lose their final game to finish 15-1 in conference play. Both still heavy favorites in their respective tourneys, but probably not the way you want to go in.

Good game between UK and Florida

The more I see Beal the more I'd love the Cavs to get him.

Random, but another site was talking about funny Bobby Knight quotes and explosions, and someone posted this:

Also,

You don't want to play, then I'm going to get the [censored] out of here. If you're not going to cover Greg Graham, if you're just let him drive by you, if the rest of you are going to let him catch the ball and drive all the way inside without one guy challenging him, than I'm leaving, (sounds almost ready to cry at this point) and you guys are going to run until you guys can't f ucking suffer. Now I'm tired of this s hit. I'm sick and f ucking tired of an 8-10 record. I'm sick and f ucking tired of losing to Purdue!!! I'm not here to f uck around this week. Now you may be, but I'm not! Now I'm going to f ucking guarantee you that if we don't play up there Monday night, you aren't going to believe the next four f ucking days. Now I'm not here to get my ass beat on Monday. And you'd better [censored] understand that right now. This is absolute f ucking bullshit. I'll f ucking run your asses into the ground. I mean I'll f ucking run your asses into the ground...you'll think last night was a f ucking picnic. I had to sit around with an 8-10 record in this f ucking league for a f ucking year. And you will not put me in that f ucking position again or you will goddamn pay for it like you can't believe. Now you better get your head out of your ass!

Best Bobby speech ever. I cant believe a player actually taped it. Ballsy. NSFW

^^Laley used to have a link to that video as his signature. It's fantastic. I'm pretty sure Greg Graham shit all over himself.

Edit: Was watching UK game and didn't post in time before Laley.

Ive seen 3 times Florida have numbers and get nothing (not even a shot) cause they went for a 3 instead of the lay-up. Pathetic.

It's so god damn annoying..what the fuck are they doing?

I realize you're the #1 3 point shooting team in the country, doesn't mean when you have an entire lane open you pull up for a 3 lol

If Duke lives by three balls, then Florida is addicted to them like they're diet pills. The Gators shoot more threes per game (26) than all but three of the 345 D-I teams in the country and have eclipsed the 30 attempts mark on four occasions.

Granted, today, there were simply times when Donovan's group looked like Rupp's Runts out there trying to play against San Antonio's Twin Towers. It was no match and Florida was relegated to trying to win from the perimeter.

Kentucky is damn good and, at this point, it will be an absolute disaster in the minds of the people of the Commonwealth if the Wildcats don't win a national championship this season.

The problem is, as a Cleveland fan, I feel like this is destined to happen.

The biggest issue is that Young, on the inside, was shooting like 60% for the game late in the 2nd half. It was close and he was like 11/16. The rest of the team was like 10/30. Yet Young never touched it, and 3s were still being jacked up.

Also, Kentucky is so fucking good.

On the bright side, as a Cavs fan, you might get to root for Anthony Davis all over again next season.

As a UK fan, how would you describe the expectations that the state has for this year's 'Cats?

Does Iona get a bid even w/ a loss today?

They're down 9 in the 2nd half

Not sure if they will, but I definitely think Iona should get a ticket to the Dance based on their talent alone. The Gaels feature arguably a top three point guard in the country in Scott Machado, the nation's leading assist-giver, in addition to MoMo Jones who is as explosive a scorer on the wing as there is when hot. Iona also has a solid presence in the post with Mike Glover (18 PPG and 10 RPG).

Also, with a 25-point blowout victory over Maryland, a one-point loss to Purdue and a victory over WAC champion Nevada, Iona has proven it has the mettle to compete in the NCAAs. With a little luck and a favorable match-up, I think Iona could do some damage the first weekend. It simply would depend on which MoMo shows up. Arizona MoMo is really damn good.

Glover's free throw shooting is destroying Iona's chances at coming back.

I hope Iona gets a bid. One of the more exciting teams in the NCAAs.

UVA wins in OT at Maryland. They were probably safe either way, but now they're a definite lock.

And Arizona loses to Arizona State. Good news for a team like Iona.

I can't see them getting in without an auto bid now.

Perry Jones III 3rd team all big 12...lol, how can you justify taking a top 5 pick on a 3rd team all-conference player???
