Lunardi's last four in are Purdue, Stanford, Drexel, and Kansas State while his last four out are Old Dominion, Illinois, Florida State, and Air Force. Stewart Mandel from CNNSI has Stanford, Texas Tech, Illinois, and Drexel in the tourney and Kansas State, Purdue, Arkansas, and Air Force out.

This game is stupid.

Go Buckeyes! C'mon Texas! (Though I don't see how Wisconsin has a chance at a 1-seed and KU can fall from their 1-seed.)

[Careless]

Oden looks old. Not "lying about his age" old, "worrying about winning a championship before he retires" old.

 

Weird.

 

Oh, and Wisconsin looks like they're going to lose their second round game.

I've been watching Kansas-Texas but I assume Wisconsin hasn't looked too good in the game? How has OSU looked?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Yes, that's a great idea. They need a 3 to tie, so let's play zone.

 

I'd give it to Augustine and let him create. Not Durant.

[soccer10k]

Chalmers hits a three to tie the game at 79 with 13.8 seconds left.

 

EDIT: And Durant misses a fadeaway and we're going to OT.

To overtime we go, my blood pressure is through the roof right now!

[Butterscup1679666578]

Overtime. I think KU is gonna end up pulling this out.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

AWFUL possession for Texas. Augustine would have gotten a better shot than that Durant turnaround fadeaway.

 

ETA: Texas seems beatable. They definitely use Durant way too much.

Yeah, everybody knew the ball was going to Durant. The least Texas could have done was have Augustine drive in and either go for a short jumper/layup if he's open or if the defense collapses, he kicks it out to somebody else.

I liken them to Ohio State. They're not superpowers, but you're going to need a base level of ability to begin with to handle all the matchups/athletic ability. I don't think an Albany is knocking them off, it's going to take a Memphis or a Georgetown.

Oh no doubt. But they rely too much on their athletic ability to beat the 1-3 seeds that are somewhat well-coached.

Why are so many schools struggling with FTs? What the hell?

Lunardi is an ass... he now has Arkansas in, KSU as last out. If this turns out to be true and this really happens, someone leaked some info a bit early. Who in their right mind would pick Arkansas over either KSU or Illinois. He had Arkansas as like 7th out earlier today. After getting killed, they jump 7 spots? Makes no sense, and thus I'd think someone leaked info...

Arkansas has a better case than KSU, sorry.

Brandon Rush is so good. I hate him.

That changed since I made my post about who was in and out an hour ago and like you said, Arkansas wasn't even one of the last 4 out.

Curse his oldest brother. He was so good too. :(

Huge block by Darnell Jackson and he makes 2 free throws to all but wrap up the game.

 

Er, Abrams hits a 3 to bring Texas within 2 with 8.3 left. Part of me wants this game to go to another overtime.

Damn, if he would have missed 1 we still would've had a chance. It's all over now.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Piss.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Almost bracket time. I expect Missouri to sneak in at a 7 or 8 seed. ;)

Arkansas got beat by Mizzou BAD (We beat you 2x) and by Tech, who we just beat by 21..... Arkansas only has 2 road wins all year. Not deserving over a 4th place team in a major conference who beat Texas on the road, and just beat a team that is considered by many to be a "lock" by 21 pts. Sorry...

I really don't think that a team should be considered for an at-large spot in the tournament if they can't even finish .500 or better in their conference.
