Davidson finally puts away the auto bid for the Southern Conference in two overtimes. I'll update the first post with the running auto-bid total tomorrow.
-
Saint Mary's doesn't need an at-large bid, as they take the WCC title. Davidson/Western Carolina is now in double OT.
-
Loyola wins the MAAC, VCU wins the Colonial. Drexel is an interesting at-large case, as they had a terrible OOC resume, but won a league tougher than the Pac-12, so their case is arguably better than Washington. Davidson trying to give away a 12-point lead in the last two minutes in the Southern title game.

Letting him hit where he wants because he's making a lot of money isn't a good point. The money he makes is irrelevant towards his value to the team. The fact that he may be the best slugger on the team this year is value for hitting him 3rd to 5th in the lineup, not first. He's projected to be the 7th most valuable offensive player on the team this year, and that includes someone projected to not be in the league at the start of the season. He's definitely got a better argument to hit at the top of the order than Darwin Barney, though. And Ian Stewart, probably.

Seattle's line was good up the middle and bad on the ends. The Bears' line was the opposite. Lynch was more successful per play than Forte last year, but it's hard to separate how much of that was Lynch and how much of that was the middle of the line holding up so much better.
-
God, I hope so. All I want to see at this point is the presser where they announce Bruce is gone. It'll be right after their BTT finals loss to Northwestern.

Also, remember to submit your lists to me by the end of tomorrow in order to participate in this year's selection. As in past years, to be on the level I'll post my lists in this thread for all to see after each deadline.
-
Middle Tennessee shows the nation how not to get into bubble consideration in a small conference, as after not having a bad loss all year, they have two in a week and are out in the Sun Belt quarters.
-
Sure. They're gonna trade everybody but Rose for Dwight Howard. Everybody but Rose and Jimmy Butler Hey, no need to overpay, right?
-
AKA What I did in Florida last week. While we were down there, we noticed the nearby Pirates ST facility was having an intrasquad game last Friday, so I took the kid down there and got to sit down by the field. Andrew McCutchen liked his hat: It's a little funny, though, when McCutchen asked him who his favorite player was, he said "Starlin Castro". Since this, though, all he can talk about is Andrew McCutchen. :P

I'm not worried. Philly played almost a perfect matchup game, outrebounded and out-assisted the Bulls (which never happens), and still lost. They didn't shoot well, but that was about the only thing that didn't work in Philly's favor in this game. That and Derrick Rose, of course.
-
And Noah again...granted, he got the rebound this time.
-
Maybe it's not a good idea to get the ball to Taj and Noah in fouling situations...
-
The Bulls have actually lost 3 straight to the Sixers, dating back to last year. Before that, they beat them by 50. So, go figure.
-
Otherwise, just PM your pick to someone with commissioner powers.
-
Creighton wins the MVC final convincingly to save another at-large bid from being stolen.
-
Didn't feel like transferring.
-
Belmont wins the Atlantic Sun, UNC-Asheville wins the Big South. 3 for 3 so far on top seeds winning conference tournaments.
-
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=8xwuejr You can have the Charlotte pick, of course.
-
I kinda like them. A loss in the tourney would be their first loss to a 100+ team all year. Played SDSU, UNC, KU, and Creighton down to the wire, all on the road. What he's saying is that he'd rather give them an at-large spot than Northwestern.
-
All bubble teams and self-perceived bubble teams breathe a sigh of relief as Murray State comes back to win the OVC auto bid.
-
Every starter in the Cub rotation cracks a 2.5 fWAR.
-
Castro goes for .330/.380/.480 and still doesn't have the highest OPS on the team, as LaHair goes for .270/.370/.500 as a 1B on opening day and a LF after the Cubs unload Soriano onto a DH-starved second wildcard contender in the AL at the break.
-
Picked. I blame Al for putting me on the clock 20 seconds after I got to the airport. :P
