I watched about 5 minutes of the UCLA-Washington game, during which Shabazz Muhammad tried to strip his own man of the ball and hasn't passed it once.

 

What do you expect out of a guy averaging less than an assist a game?

I'd heard he wasn't much of a passer, but this is the first time I've made a concerted effort to see it live. That team has such a bizarre dynamic. And they're probably the best the Pac 12 has.

like a 90% chance some scrub team wins the SEC tourney and steals a bid.

Pretty awesome thing happened today for senior day at SLU. One of their players, Femi John, played as a freshman and sophomore and then had a career ending knee injury. He's apparently still been going to practices and classes since the injury, but hasn't been on the official roster. In spite of not actually being on the team, SLU still recognized him today after the game for Senior Day. Pretty classy move if you ask me.

Looks like OU should disband their basketball program. No one cares anyway.

The SEC is awful. A home win vs a terrible road MU team should not put UT in the tourney.

And their coach will likely get fired after this season.

Jeff Withey just got away with a stiff arm to catch a post entry pass that I'm pretty sure Walter Payton would have been proud of. College officiating is sooooooooo awful.

Corey Jefferson has turned into Kevin Durant.

I wonder if TCU has ever been up by 25 before today.

The first thing they need to do is have agility tests that the refs have to be able to pass. No way should 60 year old, out of shape men be refereeing these games.

Nice last play there tharpe. Yeah the seven footer is gonna block it if you put it up in his face.

[snoodmonger]

Well, there goes any shot at a one seed.

[snoodmonger]

Baylor has to be shooting 60% right now.

[snoodmonger]

This KU team doesn't make it to the second weekend.

Surely I'm not the only one that thinks Mizzou is on the bubble? I don't see how anyone could think they're a lock, but Twitter thinks otherwise.

Using the Bracket Matrix as an approximation, there's 15 teams in worse shape than they are that are currently "in". They're as close to a 5 seed as they are to missing the tournament, which is to say neither is going to happen.

Where does OU fall to after today? Last 4 in? I think OU gets Iowa State in the Big 12 Tournament. Is that a play I'm game?

OU's fake rpi will keep them safe. i thought an isu win today would lock it up for them but then every bubble team won today. [expletive] you mizzou and florida.

[UK1679666180]

Is UK going to get a bid?

 

They needed to win this one to have a chance, I have them playing Boise St. in the play-in game for 12 seeds. Any success in the SEC tourney and they'll move up the 12 seed ladder, IMO.

[hawkeyecub]

[expletive] you mizzou and florida.

 

+1

Even as someone who studies the bracket [expletive] inside and out, before the year I would not have thought a 20-11, 9-9 Iowa team that finished 6th in the #1 league would be in this position. Edited March 10, 2013 by hawkeyecub

Did they do anything for Majerus?

how's it rub you that the 6th place team in the sec is a lock?

[Formerly Snayke]

I was live for the dismantling of La Salle and missed Mizzou, but if I read right Pressey chucked an unnecessary 3 at the end. It's almost becoming comical at this point.

[shnsajax]

So many brackets are going to die in the first weekend this year.
