LSU is still in contention. That's about it. Michigan & Vandy have an outside shot but would probably need to win out and win their conference tournaments And while Louisville has only one significant obstacle (Duke), I'm not sure even that would be enough. Of course if the top teams...

A key factor in sports ratings is competitiveness. Having the game tied at the half surely kept/lured viewers. If TN had not recovered from the early deficit and the game slowly built to 30 points, ratings would’ve been much lower.

Did Geno have his pregame media scrum yet? That would be the first chance to get an update on BQ She’s not needed against DePaul but would like to hear that the recovery is going well

UVU leaving the conference but refuses to pay exit fee WAC suing them and has banned all their teams from conference tournaments. Their 1st place MCBB team (which has never made the NCAAs) now wont make it this year either.

If UConn faces a big/physical team, like UCLA or possibly TX, I expect we will see more of Jana. TN not a good matchup for her.

Key thing for all teams it would seem is avoiding that 4th #1 seed and having LSU as your 2 seed.

SC without Akot and Latson tonight. Guess they'll only beat TAMU by 40, rather than 60

Ugly last few minutes of the UNC-NCSt. Wolves seemed to have no offense other than drive and throw something up. But somehow they got it within a basket at the end. UNC 61-59

Winless in conference NC Central (@triaddukefan) beat undefeated UMES, to knock two teams off the lists!

Last spring VCU said it was going to put $5M into paying players, with most of that going to M&W BB. Gotta get a return on that investment, so increased pressure for results. Making a change now gives them early-mover advantage. They might have their new person the day his/her season ends...

I believe this clearly explains:

They got soundly beaten at home by a mediocre MissSt, and then the UConn loss. A drop of 4 seems entirely appropriate IMO. They were jumped by Ole Miss (beat Vandy),, Kentucky, Duke (continues to win), and Texas Tech (beat TCU).

Then-#24 Alabama beat then-#23 Georgia, followed by a 40 pt loss to LSU ... and moved up to #21 .... which goes to show how much trouble voters must be having in finding teams to rank
