This man on the pre game for Kansas State/Texas Tech just said KSU still has a chance to make the tournament. THEY HAVE 14 LOSSES. 14.

Did LSU give Ben Simmons' dad a tractor?

I can't recall a more puzzling choice by a recruit as coveted as Simmons. I feel like he was totally duped. Johnny Jones should devise a pyramid scheme after LSU has fired him.

I've thought this all along. There is absolutely no way that LSU isn't paying him/his family.

Must have been Norm Chad. He stated last night during the Belmont-Austin Peay game that head coach Dave Loos has turned Peay into one of the preeminent mid-major powers in recent years. The Governors have sported five consecutive losing seasons.

Anyone read this Bo Ryan story on Deadspin??

I got to the email, but then had to run out and do some errands.

Butler dropped 51 on Marquette at the half. The Bulldogs still play a beautiful brand of basketball. The leader at the helm may be different, but the presence of Brad Stevens is still largely present.

Feels like Perry Ellis has been playing at Kansas since 2007.

Decent senior night for Gabe York, being that he almost outscored Stanford. He finishes with 32 points and nine threes in his last home game. Almost every shot he took was a heat check.

Virginia Tech just crushed Miami in Blacksburg.

If Carolina beats Duke tonight, they will clinch the #1 seed in the ACC Tournament, and also finish alone in 1st place in the ACC Standings.

If Duke wins tonight, Carolina, Miami, and the winner of VT/Louisville would all finish 13-5 in ACC play.

If Duke wins tonight, it will be 9 out of 11 for the Blue Devils in the rivalry and five in a row. It is unfortunate that this won't happen.

After suffering another collapse for the ages in the last meeting at the Dean Dome, North Carolina will be out for blood. Brice Johnson destroyed Duke in the first encounter and this time around I expect Johnson and his front-court counterparts to finish the job. With Jefferson sidelined, the Blue Devils just can't compete in the paint with Carolina when the Heels are operating at their best.

With the Miami loss and if Duke wins pretty sure the winner of the Virginia/Louisville game will win the ACC

If all three have a 13-5 record in league play, they're all co-winners of the regular season. Not sure how the seeding would go in the ACCT, but they would all share the regular season "title".

Nice try! :)

This is not a reverse jinx, but I truly feel this is a Dook 15 or so point win.

Have the same awful feeling. Hope we're wrong.

Kennedy Meeks HAS to play great. If he doesn't, it's a loss.

Lol. I really do believe that, though.

Carolina is too strong up front. Bereft of going berserk from deep, I don't see how Duke prevents a mauling here.

That makes sense... That's what I get for trusting an ACC reporter or ESPN person posting on twitter. I guess maybe they meant that UVA would be the 1 seed in the ACCT if Duke won and they won.

So far so good.

Have to wonder if Gregg Marshall is kicking himself for not leaving yet?

They just said that Carolina is the 1 seed no matter what happens tonight.

Wrong. It's because Ulis is. They don't deserve to have 2.
