College Basketball 2006-2007

Sigh, Afflalo starts the second half on the bench with his 3 fouls (of which he commited 1 :roll:).

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Great adjustments by Howland, they're just attacking the basket and playing much better defense. Of course, it helps when Collison and Afflalo score (0 points from the top 2 scores in the first half = not good).

 

ETA: And UCLA takes their first lead since 8-6. :D

I can't bother to watch the NC State/Duke game. The announcers are such blatant Duke homers that it's sickening, especially with what they've been saying about the hit on Hansborough.

Nessler's usually one of ESPN's better announcers. I think ESPN requires all of the announcers that do Duke games to be pro-Duke. Not sure if I'm being sarcastic or serious.

In minor conference action, Wyoming upsets Air Force 67-62-that will hurt Air Force's seed in the tournament.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Ugh, Aboya fouls out and Afflalo has 4 fouls. Tie game with 4:28 to go.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I've watched several Nebraska games this year, and I don't think I've seen them make anything between the paint and the arc. Like, ever. OSU leads them by 11 at the half.

[CubColtPacer]

UCLA-Cal going to OT.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Meh, UCLA and Cal going to OT tied at 61. UCLA is 13/24 at the FT line. Ubaka was huge for Cal down the stretch, tying the game twice.

 

Afflalo still has no FGs.

[Productive Outs]

because of travis ford, i have an A-10 game on FSN instead of UCLA-Cal

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Afflalo finally gets a shot to go in.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

We deserve a 2-seed.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Sigh. :(

 

Let's say bye to tourney games in Cali. Probably lost the 1-seed too.

 

Going in to the tourney on a 2-game losing streak.

I still think UCLA is one of the four best teams in the country and will have them as a final four pick in my bracket.

[dalgreen]

We deserve a 2-seed.

 

They should still get a #1 in the West. If the committee punishes them for this loss then that tells me these three days mean more than the past four months.

The key I think is what happens with the other 1's and 2's. if 1 or 2 of the 2's win the conference tournaments and all of them advance to at least the semis or finals, then I could definitely see UCLA getting pushed to a 2-it's not like they had a much, much better resume than the other teams before this. It was better, but it's able to be made up.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Washington winning the Pac-10 tourney.

[Flames24Rulz]

More than likely, I will too.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Don't bother, guys. We are in an offensive slump royale and are an awful FT shooting team. The team looks listless out there and the defense continues to be horrible in the first half of games. About the only thing going right now is that Shipp and Mbah a Moute have righted their slumps (in time for Afflalo and Collison to start slumping).

 

And (even though the Washington game meant nothing) the team has lost two in a row, they are limping into the tourney right now, I expect us to get a 2-seed now. I'd rather have the 2-seed and stay out west, hopefully that will happen.

 

And dalgreen, I expect the winner of the Washington-Washington State game to win the conference tournament.

I could be wrong, but I think UCLA, Kansas and Ohio State have the number 1's wrapped up no matter what happens this weekend. I could be wrong but it was my thought going into the weekend.

What happens if UNC and Florida win their tourneys? Or TAMU?

Again, I could be wrong, but I hope the committee looks at winning the regular season conference title with higher regard than the conference tourney. UNC is kind of limping into the ACC tourney and TAMU didn't even share the Big 12 title. So I don't see those two getting number 1 seeds even if they win their conference tourney.

[reggiemiller rules]

Duke down 4 with 3:00 minutes left in the game. I hope NC State can hold on to this one.

[snoodmonger]

UCLA's resume is the best out there. they defintiely deserve a one, IMO.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Well, good to hear.

 

I'd much prefer being a 2-seed in Sarcamento than a 1-seed out East.

 

We're limping in ourselves...
