As I said in the other thread, I -- and many others on Duke boards -- didn't care about having a one anyway. I'd rather not get a one seed and have the hardest number two in my region (i.e. Kansas). Also, with the scoring droughts this team is prone to, I don't wanna be in a position to make history as a one seed...SportsAndLady;1587408 wrote:Say goodbye to a 1 seed dukies
Wisconsin is in great position right now. Take care of business and hope for Kansas to fall.

Am I reading this right. Arkansas has 90 points with 11:38 left??

If Kansas ends up with 8 losses, it's possible that the ACC champion will still get a one seed (e.g. a 4-loss Syracuse; a 7-loss UNC who beats Duke and then some combo of Duke/Syracuse/Virginia in the ACC Tournament; a 7-loss Duke who beats UNC and then some combo of Syracuse/UNC/Virginia in the ACC Tournament; or Virginia with a similar combo of wins in the ACC Tournament).
If Kansas does lose again, though, I think Wisconsin deserves the final one seed as long as they reach the finals of the Big Ten Tournament. That's my take anyway.

Pac-12 schedule set up nicely. Stanford, Cal, Colorado, and Utah playing each other the final 2 games. Utah probably isn't on the bubble at this point, but closing the year with wins @ Cal and @ Stanford would at least get them in the conversation.
The other 3 are all in 9-12 seed range right now. None of them can really afford any losses.

San Diego State travels to Vegas tonight. This should be a great one in the Thomas & Mac Center. Could have some seeding implications for the Aztecs. Will have no implication for the Runnin' Rebels.
Vegas must win the MWC Tournament to get a ticket. It takes a real genius to guide a squad that stacked to the NIT.

Bill Walton doing Colorado-Stanford right now. Only 6 minutes left but still, plenty of time for some classic Walton lines.

I hate Walton. The guy asks him about Andrew luck who they show in the stands...He doesn't say a word. It was so awkward.

Excellent late-night action.
Vegas leads No. 10 San Diego State with 15 minutes to play in the second half and Oregon State is knotted at 40 with No. 3 Arizona with under 16 to go.

Dayton beats St. Louis. That's a good win for the Flyers.

Great read. Having seen a family member deal with this, its heart wrenching to watch someone you know and love got through this.

I didn't say I didn't like him as an announcer. I just can't stand him regardless. He says some funny things for sure. But I've just never liked him much.Terry_Tate;1587441 wrote:All of the progress you have made moving up my "best OC posters" rankings was just erased with this one post. Congratulations.

BS or not? Down 2 with 0.6 seconds left, Oakland sends Travis Bader, a 90% FT shooter to set a "screen" on an oblivious guy guarding the inbound. He made 2 FT's. They won in OT. Advanced to the quarterfinals.

Agree with this. Smart move by the coach to tell the ref to watch for it beforehand. Planted the seed.wildcats20;1587638 wrote:Good strategy. Terrible call.
Dunk City having some trouble with East Tennessee St in the A-Sun semis. Tied at 51.

I've never seen a screen on the guy guarding the inbound before. I guess I always just assumed it was illegal.

Cincy thoroughly beating Memphis around on senior night at the Shoemaker Center. Led by Sean Kilpatrick's 27 points, Bearcats up 73-55 with 5:30 left.
With a win, Cincy pulls even with Louisville for first place in the AAC with one game to go. Mick Cronin has done a wonderful job with a team built almost entirely on defense. Cincy has given up 70 points just once in the last 10 games.
