They have a shot at being in the Final Four of the Big 12 tournament, sure...maybe.
-
Ugh, Findley: http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/video_audio/131533.html

I'd agree more if that were their only result. Recently they haven't been playing very well, so they're apt to trip up once in conference, but if they do get through the conference slate undefeated, win the conference tourney, and beat St. Mary's/Wichita State in the Bracket Busters game, I could see them getting a 4 seed.
-
They're certainly not top 10 good. I hope they finish undefeated to see how high they climb in the polls, and to see what the committee does with them. They're currently sitting at an RPI of 28, which I have trouble seeing go much higher. I'd probably give them a 5-6 seed if they went undefeated, and an 8-9 if they went in with a loss. That 1996 Princeton team that came into the tournament 25-1 got a 5 seed. The 2006 GW team that came into the tournament 26-1 got an 8 seed. The Ohio Valley is terrible, so Murray State's best win of the year is likely either the Memphis game or whoever they play in the Bracket Busters matchup. Could end up undefeated without playing a single tournament team on the year. Following up with this, at this point it looks like Murray State's opponent in the Bracket Busters game will be either St. Mary's or Wichita State (Murray State is one of the home teams, and St. Mary's/Wichita State are by far the best road teams in the list, since Gonzaga/BYU/Belmont/Harvard aren't participating and VCU/Creighton/Butler/Cleveland State/Milwaukee are also home teams). I'm not sure a home win against one of those two is any better than a road win at Memphis, certainly not the kind of thing that's going to bump them up to a top 4 seed if they weren't considered there earlier.

Did you see Cespedes' Youtube video? It'd seal the deal for Miami.
-
Yeah, even if Boston is bad, there are at least 4 terrible teams in the East (WAS/NJ/CHA/DET), and the only other "competition" for a playoff spot is Toronto (who is probably at least decent offensively when Bargnani is healthy), Milwaukee (who is decent defensively and a black hole offensively), and Cleveland (how far can Irving take them?). Unless one of those three teams really overachieves all year or Boston really goes into the tank, they'd probably still make the playoffs at, say, 30-36.

CJ is back, though.

My thought is that teams could save a lot of money by just figuring out where he got the bat and buying it directly. Cut out the middle man. -
11 assists, 0 turnovers for Rose.
-
The Bulls defense has averaged 67.5 points allowed at home so far this season. Which is ridiculous.
-
Wait, the Raptors are 1-6 from the free throw line? Yikes.
-
Apparently when I said the Bulls' only offense is the offense Rose generates? The bench mob in the second quarter took it a little too literally today.
-
Along with Minnesota winning at Indiana, Northwestern beating MSU, Iowa winning at Wisconsin/Minnesota, and PSU beating Purdue, it's getting to the point where any win in conference is a good win. Except at home vs. PSU/Nebraska. Those are expected.
-
And the 8-9 game would be Wisconsin-Northwestern.
-
As an aside...Illinois leads the Big Ten! EDIT: Damn, ninja'd by SSR. Oh well, I'm leaving it this way.
-
A bit odd for Izzo to call a TO there, down 7 with 2 seconds to play.
-
Anyone who wants a Gus Johnson fix, NW-MSU coming down to the wire, 3 minutes left, 76-66 NW on the BTN.
-
NW's biggest issue is that they're not a good defensive team, so they depend a lot on the opponent making their own mistakes offensively to win games.

Cubs Way now involves an analytic player evaluation system

I don't think I can overstate how huge this game is for NW. Win this and they're on the inside of the talk for NCAA tournament placement.
-
Good win for OK. Maybe they'll be able to separate themselves from A&M and Tech at the bottom of the conference in the next week.
-
I do love me some Gus Johnson.
-
MSU shooting 90%(!) from the floor and leading by just 4.
