OSU/Illinois going into OT, tied @ 66. Duke hitting freethrows, and about to end Miami's miracle run.

Duke 77 - Miami 74 = So the Blue Devils do what they needed to keep a #1-seed, but it was harder than they wanted, and than I thought it would be. So now we have 3 of the 4: KU, UK, and Coach K. Now we'll have to wait for that OT to end before we hazard a pick for the final slot.

Sorry, I was wrong, again. We'll have to wait until the end of the 2nd OT.

Buckeyes up 2 possessions with 34 ticks in 2OT left. This might be it.

Yes, that's it. Ohio State 88 - Illinois 81 (2OT) = The Illini fought hard, and proved to me they deserve an at-large. And had they won, they would have made things easier for the Committee, since that would have convinced them to let Syracuse keep that last #1-seed . . . you know, the one they tried to p!$$ away in their opening-round loss in the Big East Tourney. But now they'll have to wait until the Big Ten championship game, for if the Buckeyes beat the winner of the Purdue/Minnesota game they will have to decide which one gets that seed, while the other gets the top #2-seed. Yet it's just bragging rights anyway . . . after all, following the S-Curve seatings, that would mean that OSU/'Cuse would be slated to meet for the Regional Final in either case, so what's the freakin' diff?

Oh, by the way, Morgan State took the Mid-Eastern, beating South Carolina State 68-61. Me, I don't care, but maybe you do.

Vandy/Miss State and Xavier/Richmond both the tight wars you'd expect, late in the first. And NCSU/GT just off to a sloooow start. But since I'm leaving soon, and won't be back until Monday afternoon, I'm gonna close up my end now.

Feel free to update your own team's scores in my absence, brothers, and go ahead and make your picks if you wish. Hell, I don't mind having most of the fun, but why should I do all the work? So until I see you here later . . . enjoy.

Yes, Jay, congrats to Washington for snagging the crown and a bid. But unless they play better than they've played all year, Marquette's gonns whup their butts, but good.

And as for that Kentucky game . . . well, I'm tired of beating the same old dead nag. The Wildcats got the win in OT in one more game they tried their best to lose. They have the talent to go all the way, and the ability to let the Texas/Wake winner send them home early.

Well, you'd think so, wouldn't you Joe? But some people are fans, and others just nutz.

We have the play-in game in the NCAA tonight, between Winthrop and Arkansas Pine Bluff, with the winner getting the opportunity to be embarrassed by Dook. Some folks don't like this game, but I look at it this way . . . this is the best chance either of these two teams have of actually winning an NCAA game, thus getting their school off the O'fer snide. But aside from this one, there are games in the NIT, the CBI, and the CIT - whatever the fark those last two are. You don't much care? Well, neither do I. But you must grant this: Those games will involve a good number of teams who . . . unlike that pair above . . . could actually win a game in the NCAA, aside from that play-in one.

In opening round action in the NIT, the following hosts play:

U. Conn vs. Northeastern = Eh, could be OK.
South Florida vs. N.C. State = Eh, should be OK.
UAB vs. Coastal Carolina = Eh, will be OK.
Seton Hall vs. Texas Tech = A pair of yo-yos dueling.
UNC vs. Wm.& Mary = Can the Heels stay a .500 team?
Miss. St. vs. Jackson State = One defensive rebound from the NCAAs, MSU is likely to take frustration out on J.State.
Arizona St. vs. Jacksonville = Dissed for where they play, not what they did, the Sun Devils are also p!$$ed.

And in the CBI, we have:

VCU vs. George Washington = Here's two who could whup most 14-16 seeds in the NCAA.
Indiana St. vs. Saint Louis = And after Rick Majerus popped off yesterday, he'd better not pull a Gary Williams and lose this game.

And in the WTF . . . excuse me, the CIT:

Fairfield vs. George Mason = You tellin' me these 2 couldn't beat Winthrop/AR-PB?
Western Carolina vs. Marshall = Or these 2?
South Dakota vs. Creighton = Or these?

So if you really need to feed your basketball jones before you gorge it starting Thursday, enjoy.

Congratulations to them. Now we'll see how they fare against the Lobos, from that best conference in the West.

Funny that an 11 seed is favored over a 3 -- UW by 1.5.

It seems that Rick Majerus is PO'd that his Saint Louis Billikens did not get an invite to the NIT. Hell, as far as I care, he can have the Heels' one if he really wants it.

Default Re: College Hoops Thread '09-'10
Lemme do this quick and dirty, as I'm already late and there's a $#!+load to do.

NCAA play-in:

AR Pine Bluff 61 - Winthrop 44 = So now we're down to 64 officially.

NIT first round:

Jacksonville 67 - Arizona State 66 = So maybe I had too much respect for the Sun Devils.
U. Conn 59 - Northeastern 57 = And too little for Northeastern, as this was close.
N.C. State 58 - South Florida 57 = But not as close as this one.
Miss. State 81 - Jackson State 67 = No shock here.
UNC 80 - Wm.&Mary 72 = And the only shock here is that Carolina made the plays late it failed to do all year.
Texas Tech 87 - Seton Hall 69 = If reports are right, this loss had NOTHING to do with Bobby Gonzalez getting fired 12 hours later.
UAB 65 - Coastal Carolina 49 = Another bubble team snubbed makes its case.

Tonight in the NIT:

Kent State vs. Tulsa = I'd go with Tulsa here.
Virginia Tech vs. Quinnipiac = The Hokies will own them.
Dayton vs. Illinois State = Don't know, don't care.
Cincy vs. Weber State = If the Bearcats show up, it's theirs.
Rhode Island vs. Northwestern = I'm picking RI.
Mississippi vs. Troy = And Ole Miss.
Wichita State vs. Nevada = Pick 'em.
Illinois vs. Stony Brook = Illini, easily.
Memphis vs. St. John's = Will Norm Roberts get the ax too after this loss?

Last night in the CBI:

VCU 79 - George Washington 73 = Was probably a good game. Did anybody see it? Didn't think so.
Saint Louis 63 - Indiana State 54 = Rick Majerus managed to avoid looking further the @$$ . . . and if you know Rick, that's quite the @$$ he has.

Tonight's CBI games:

Princeton vs. Duquesne = The Tigers roar.
Akron vs. Wisc. G.B. = Zips.
Eastern Ky. vs. Charleston = Another "don't know, don't care."
Hofstra vs. IUPUI = Ditto.
Morehead St. vs. Colo. St. = Double dit.
Oregon St. vs. Boston U. = Triple that.

In the CIT:

Creighton 89 - South Dakota 78 = Congrats, I guess.
Fairfield 101 - George Mason 96 (OT) = No slipper for Geo.Mason this year. But at least it seems both teams cared enough to fight for it.
Marshall 90 - Western Carolina 88 = And this must have been fun too.

CIT tonight:

App. State vs. Harvard = No thoughts, save that Haa'vad was touted early as an NCAA team, but now are in this joke tourney.
Missouri St. vs. Middle Tenn. State = They play basketball?
Northern Colorado vs. Portland = And remember 'way back when Portland was ranked in the Top 25? I do, and I wonder if they do too.
Loyola Marymount vs. Pacific = What do they both really care? Surf's up!

As I won't be here until later in the afternoon tomorrow, I'll also give you the early 1st round games in the NCAAs now:

Villanova vs. Robert Morris = You really have to ask here?
BYU vs. Florida = The money seems to be BYU, but I'm going Gators.
Vanderbilt vs. Murray State = And some say Murray St.'s tricky offense will win this. Against some teams, maybe, but Pearl's too smart to be fooled.
Kansas State vs. North Texas = Somebody on here . . . Travis, was it? . . . thought heart would favor NT. I wonder how he felt when he saw their pairing!
Notre Dame vs. ODU = Should be a good one. I'd pick ODU as more consistent.
Richmond vs. St. Mary's = And I always go with the Spiders in such games. Those arachnids are tough!
Baylor vs. Sam Houston State = The team from Texas takes this one, I'd betcha.
Butler vs. UTEP = And I'd lean towards the same outcome here too.

As always, enjoy.

Default Re: College Hoops Thread '09-'10
Well, let's get today's scores outta the way first, as that's what most of you care about:

ODU 51 - Notre Dame 50 = Like I said, ODU wins it. As for the Irish, they needed a second Hansbrough on the court. Baby brother Ben did what he could, with 17 pts. and 6 boards, but that over-rated stiff Harangody only got 4 & 7. You gonna tell me Tyler wouldn't have found some way to win this squeeker?

BYU 99 - Florida 92 (2OT) = And I picked the Gators here, but don't blame me. They had the last shot in regulation, then the last shot in the 1st OT, and missed both chances to win.

Villanova 73 - Robert Morris 70 (OT) = And I implied this would be a walkover, but how was I to know that Jay Wright would sit Scottie Reynolds down for the first 4 minutes, thus throwing off his whole game. But they did survive, and do advance.

Baylor 68 - Sam Houston 59 = I was right. The Texan team won.

Murray State 66 - Vandy 65 = Wow, this shocks me. Though Vandy's been spotty all year, I expected more from them. 'Grats to Murray State, and so far it's a bad day for the SEC.

I'll be back later with more. Until then, enoy.
