Non-Big East Conference Tournament Thread

[auror]

Which appetizers are you watching before the night slate?

I started w 430 Montana (wife’s alma mater) v Weber State until Weber had a 20 point lead. Now, I switched over to 530 UC Santa Barbara v UC Irvine and will toggle between those for a while. Caron’s son plays for UC Irvine.

UNLV vs. Wyoming is on now. Wyoming is a bubble team but they're playing essentially an away game in the tournament. Up early.

Cause was up 1 with3 minutes left, however Duke scoped the last 10 points.

This.

And Boeheim has his first losing season ever...by one game...with a loss to Georgetown...with his soon suspended for throwing a punch that the father denies and justifies, while the son offered a written public apology for whatever it was if it wasn't a punch.

Storybook stuff.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Jayhawks cruising. Gets harder after this one.

Huggins looks gigantic. Was he this fat back in November?

 

[UCTitleTown]

How bad was a Syracuse this year? Georgetown beat them.....

Good primer for non-Big East games to watch today…

The shear number of bubble games tells me that Xavier ain't making it. Lunardi has them 2 spots away from being bumped out.

I try not to take pleasure, but SU is on bubble watch. NIT bubble watch.

I noticed the same. And he got tossed of course. Perhaps was hungry.

If you want a 4 seed, root hard for Indiana to hold on against Illinois. Coming down to the wire.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Indiana escapes! Illinois is done.

We should be able to leapfrog them with a win tonight. The question will be if any other 5-seeds keep winning.

 

[Tyler2Rings]

Illinois goes down. On BracketMatrix, they are 5 slots ahead of us

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Upset alert in the C-USA:

Louisiana Tech up 33-23 against North Texas with 8 to go. That is not a typo: that is the actual score. North Texas shooting a whopping 20.5%.

Does North Texas make the dance if they lose?

24-6, KP 42, NET 39, best OOC wins Wichita State and Drake. Lost to Miami by 6 and Kansas by 12.

The game is on CBSSN.

Half day of school today before spring break, stopped by A&S on the way home...today is a good day.

Ooh wow. North Texas is one of the teams we are regaulrly slotted against by bracketologists in the 5/12 matchup.

Was our score yesterday much better than that with 12 to go?

[Hey Adrien!]

If he hits the portal, UNT's Thomas Bell is a guy I'd pick up if Martin doesn't return.

6'6 205, tough, efficient (49.5%) and does a little bit of everything (12.7p, 6.9r, 2.4a, 0.9s, 0.9b).

Screams Big East Glue Guy.

 

[UConNick]

This CUSA semi is the legit ugliest game I’ve ever seen but I can’t look away - it’s one of those haha.

38-34 LA Tech, trying to close it out on the line with 25 ticks left.

 

[FLDawg16]

Cinci currently up a bit on Houston. 39-32, 16:45 left

 

[Hey Adrien!]

One underrated fact on how good North Texas has been this year:

Washington grad transfer Hameir Wright (career 19.3 mpg) averaged 7.1 mpg for UNT this year. Rare when a mid-major team acquires a high-major rotation player and barely plays the guy.

Good for Louisiana Tech. Between them, UAB and even MTSU, the C-USA will bring a solid team to the dance.

Off to the gym, will keep an eye on Cinci/Houston from the TV.

Gotta love March!

 

[FLDawg16]

I shouldn't have said anything! Cinci has missed 9 shots in a row since

At the half Becky Quick won’t be talking about Rutgers Monday morning on Squawk Box
