Lotta pressure on Akron to win the tourney now. If they get upset, I'd think that ensures it's a one bid conference.

What does Akron's conference tournament performance have to do with Miami?

I'd be careful about that. The "First they Came" poem comes to mind.....

That may be a bit extreme considering what's happening in Michigan, but I get your point. It just doesn't seem right that a terrible MAC team will get in over a last team out who is far from perfect, but is so much more deserving. Maybe it's also that the MAC will have 2 teams and the Big East only one more.

Had Tennessee giving 5.5. They rolled in the second half. Later Auburn.

Game was pretty funny. For three quarters, it was Tennessee playing badly and letting Auburn get ahead. Then in about 5 minutes, Tennessee started playing and went from down 10 to up 10.

Ament is the real deal, but Auburn's "defense" was awful down the stretch. I loved the sequence where Ament dove off the court to save the ball, his defender stays in the general area, and then he comes back on the court and his defender has no idea what to do and let's him stand there for 5 seconds and line up a wide open three. Like, did you forget you were guarding him ?
 
UCF 7'2" center John Bol left the Big 12 game clutching his chest

 
as long as scheyer can't design a good offense that doesn't rely on having generational talent running the show duke's ultimate ceiling is limited. they just get bogge down way too much and predictably in clutch moments.

What’s the verdict on Duke, is this some fluke or do they look vulnerable with all the injuries

No I agree they don’t need to lose a game to lose the #1 overall seed. Not a convincing win. They could be jumped by either/or Zona and UM and still get the 1 in the East.

Great results for our 2 seed in the East hopes:
1) Duke barely hangs on against FSU
2) Houston wins
3) ISU dominates

It's going to be hard to jump them without a loss because of the recent head to head neutral court win over Michigan

Not even if Zona wins the Big12 in convincing fashion? Well I’ll be rooting for a Duke L just in case

Not if Duke also wins the ACC I don't think. But I wouldn't say 100%.

Ugh ISU plays Zona tomorrow. That’s a Sophie’s choice for us. Need Zona to jump Duke and ISU to knock a BIG team off the 2 line. The fates are conspiring against us from getting the 2 in the east.
Edit- Lunardi has ISU as a 2 over Illinois. Need Illinois to lose tomorrow.

Why? Who are they going to play that compares to who those other two play? UNC without Wilson? Winning the Big 12 or 10 means beating much better teams than Duke will face.

Why would a Big Ten team be ahead of UConn for #2 in the east? I don’t get that at all. Unless it was Maryland or Rutgers.
