Well this one is over.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Mizzou is somehow leading and the announcer called us "The Mizzous" earlier, so I'm happy.

[Outshined_One]

You know, if Georgetown weren't sloppy and could consistently hit FTs, they'd be a Top 5 team with ease. There's plenty of talent and size to go around, but yeesh to the bad decision-making.

[Butterscup1679666578]

What an absolutely bogus charge foul call on Leo Lyons to foul him out. Absolutely ridiculous.

[Butterscup1679666578]

*bleeping* load of crap.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Huge offensive foul call. 69-69 with 2:03 left.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Crap, 69-69 with 28.8 ticks left, Nebraska ball.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Mizzou gets a steal, fails to call a timeout with 6 seconds left, throws up a crap shot, and we're going to OT.

[Outshined_One]

I hadn't paid much attention to Jeff Green until recently, when NBAdraft.net had him going to the Bulls at 10.

 

He's pretty darn good. The man will be a quality SF at the NBA level.

[Butterscup1679666578]

How in the hell do you lose 2 games in a season to Nebraska.

[Outshined_One]

Aaaaaaaaaaand down goes Pittsburgh.

[Andy]

We aren't shooting the jumper well at all, but ND leads Marquette 42-36 at halftime, ripping off a 15-3 run to end the half.

 

This is a great sign of ND having the ability to win without the 3.

Hey Mizzou,

 

Thanks, we didn't want any remotely quality wins away from home anyways.

[SouthSideRyan]

Re: the last post, Sorry Bradley, I forgot that was a neutral game.

 

Anywho, Texas Tech with a big win, but if they slip up against Baylor or at Iowa St., they're gonna wind up being a 13 loss team looking for an at large and that could be tough. They'd probably still make it, but it wouldn't be a great position to be in.

 

OK St. I don't think is out of it like everyone's claiming. The home loss to Mizzou is troubling, as is the loss at Colorado, but taking 2 of their last 3 (KSU, at Baylor, at Nebraska) gives them 20 wins, and 1 game in the Big XII tourney I think might be enough. Though with the way they've been playing lately, that sounds like a pretty tough feat to pull off (lost 4 in a row and 6 out of 7)

 

Clemson is now 2-9 after starting 17-0. But when looking at their overall profile they really aren't an automatic out. They're gonna have to win at VA Tech to stay alive though.

 

The SEC West is terrible, and Bama's the only team that really has an argument to make it. They probably will, and Ole Miss might come close, but I really don't think they deserve it.

 

If Gonzaga makes it as an at large it'll be criminal.

 

Air Force's terrible loss to TCU is gonna hurt BYU and start pushing them back towards the bubble, especially if they don't win at SDSU tonight.

 

Creighton absolutely has to beat Wichita, or else I think they're flat out done as an at large.

85-73 win. Harangody with 22 and 13 (both career highs), Jackson with 21 (career high), Falls passes Gerry McNamara as the all-time leading Big East 3-point shooter, ND goes unbeaten at home for the season, clinches a bye in the conference tournament, and punches their ticket to the Big Dance.

 

Needless to say, I'm happy :D

 

Also needless to say, I'll be picking ND further than they'll probably actually go in the tourney.

One round? :D

Gosh, that 4-point play by Arron was so beautiful. UCLA up 36-33 at the half on Stanford in probably Arron Afflalo's last game at Pauley.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I'm convinced that Trent Johnson is the evolutionary link between birds and humans.

[FloridaCubbie]

Florida played like crap today and loses to LSU. Bleh.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Screw Stanford. Fouling with 3 minutes left? Geez.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

UCLA wins 75-61. Arron Afflalo with 20 pts and quite a few standing ovations and cheers asking for him to return for his senior year.

 

UCLA clinches at least a tie for the Pac-10 regular season title.

First undefeated record at home since 1974-75.

Jay Bilas is a fool. He has FSU as getting in with a 6-9 conference record, yet leaves out Texas Tech. Hey Jay should every single ACC team get a bid? God I hate ESPN.

He just can't fathom that a non-tournament bound team could ever beat his alma mater at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

By the way, I've just discovered http://www.kenpom.com. It's pretty awesome - the best application of statistics to college basketball that I've seen openly available, with pretty clear explanations of what everything is. None of it is perfect, and he readily admits that, but I feel more comfortable with the statistics that he offers than I do with anything else.

 

Does anyone know of any other sites that do similar stuff?

Tennessee likely clinches a tournament berth with a big win over Arkansas today. It was also our first road win in the SEC so it makes me quite happy.
