Ok...we're in...only we're not....there will be Conf Tourney upsets that will take away at large bids, the "last 4 teams in" are going to have be in the "play-in" games...Lunardi is not god but we need wins and as other bubble teams win our chances are hurt.

good for them, but all we need to do is take care of business

win Sat & Tues, I think we're OK, but no lock

win Wed, lock

what anybody else does really doesn't matter

Well, considering that "win Sat & Tues" is the most likely positive outcome, which would leave us "OK, but no lock", I'd say it matters a great deal what the teams around us do.

Wow - that was a hell of an ending at Northwestern.

Thank you, Jared Sullinger.

I tell you what, one of you guys should fly out to Ohio State and become his concubine. He just bailed us out a bit.

It's no fun watching the scoreboard but when there are 24 teams competing for 12 spots (give or take) it matters greatly what other teams are doing....Uconn controlling it's destiny has passed unless it wins more than 2 games.

We get the agenda, sport.

You can tone it down now.

Oklahoma's gimmicky 3-2 zone defense backfiring bigtime: Texas has hit about 4 3's in the last 6 possessions.

I agree VUCE the bubble is weak non matter what happens. Some will play their way in some will play their way out and UConn has to be one of the teams that plays itself in. 3 wins and in starts this sat at home.

I still don't understand this. IF the committee is looking at the entire body of work, UConn is in, no problem. 6 wins against RPI top 50 is better than any other team even close to the bubble.

USF still has a chance to play themselves out. Cincinnati was probably already in anyway. Miss. St. was pretty much already in.

Maybe, but losing 9 of 12 is ugly. We will drive the commitee crazy I think because computer #'s good but last 2 months have been bad.

Oklahoma falling apart down the stretch. Give this one to Texas. They are still in.

NC State beats Miami, which moves both teams closer to the cut line. Probably moot as far as we're concerned.

It's safe to say will be an interesting weekend...could go either way for a bunch of teams....first step, as others have said, is to beat Pitt. Tonight a mix of bad/good results but uconn a little worse off than before the night started imo.

CSU comes back from 14 down and wins. They'll be a tough out, you know, playing at altitude and all.

Colorado State probably takes Northwestern's spot, and Miami's position is a bit more precarious. I think after tonight we're still in, and probably still avoiding a play-in game, but not by much.

What part of IT DOES NOT MATTER WHEN UCONN DOES WHAT AT ALL TO THE COMMITTEE do people not understand?

The timing does not matter. It doooooes nooot matterrrrrr. They have removed it as a judgement. I cannot stress this enough.

If UConn loses in their next 3 it hurts ONLY because they're bad losses for the resume, not at all because of when they happen. When does not matter. At all.

If you cant get in out of 68 teams its your own damn fault, good for USF and Cincy they have earned it Uconn has not, and they still have a shot its very simple win and your in, lose and leave it in the hands of the commitee, fold and your out.
