A potential spot in LETTERL's BY Top 25 possibly up for grabs. These two, along with Marquette, were the next ones out on my last one...and there is going to be at least one spot available in Monday's edition. Which team deserves it more?

Tensions can run mighty high when you take a group of folks from Nacogdoches and throw them in a room with a group of folks from Beaumont. A classic "Piney Woods" versus "Golden Triangle" culture clash.

I've been to the Piney Woods before... not sure where the Golden Triangle is.

I've been to the Piney Woods before... not sure where the Golden Triangle is.

Golden Triangle refers to the region of Beaumont, Port Arthur and Orange in the southeast corner of the state. Allegedly the "golden" part was originally intended to refer to the lucrative nature of the oil business, as this area has long a very high concentration of oil refineries. But it's very much known as a blue collar part of the state and hasn't seen nearly as much development as other parts of Texas. Plus you never have to drive far to get that a whiff of that unmistakable sulfuric scent.

Idaho St. beat Montana today, 1 game up on Idaho. Finish w/ 2 games against Eastern Washington, should be no problem to clinch the Big Sky title.

 

[nwhoopfan]

UNLV w/ a pair of wins over Fresno St. jumped into 2nd place in the Mountain West. Colorado in the drivers seat, finish w/ 2 against New Mexico. UNLV is done for the regular season I believe.

edit--oops, Colorado St.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Gonzaga had that hiccup against BYU but has flattened their last couple of WCC foes. BYU stubbed their toe against USF today. Zags definitely wrapped up the conference title, not sure if today was the regular season finale.

Nice results for Lindy LaRocque in her first year!

 

[LETTERL]

Forgot all about this. Nicholls beat New Orleans today, 66-59, to move to 8-7 in the Southland. Not sure what criteria the conference is using for seed purposes in the upcoming conference tournament; if by winning percentage, Nicholls currently in 7th place. By games played, Nicholls is tied with Central Arkansas, McNeese and Lamar for 4th.

Locker room celebration on point

 

[triaddukefan]

I'd much rather see Houston make it to the NCAA tournament than UCF

 

[nwhoopfan]

FS1 is showing Georgetown vs. Xavier. Why?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Florida St. about to knock off Wake Forest. Up 6 w/ 12 sec. left.

 

[nwhoopfan]

North Carolina and Virginia Tech in a shootout, 13-12 5 1/2 minutes in. Seems like both teams could really use a W here.

 

[nwhoopfan]

VA Tech pulling away, 45-31 at the half.

 

[nwhoopfan]

New Mexico drilling Utah St. 53-19 at the half.

 

[nwhoopfan]

North Carolina came roaring back w/ a 21-8 Q3.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Purdue denies Illinois a chance for their 2nd conference win.

 

[nwhoopfan]

North Carolina came storming back in the 2nd half to beat VA Tech 68-63. I think Creme already had them in the field, this doesn't hurt.

 

[loonsD]

Iowa up 74-64 at the under 5. Clark has 18 pts 12 assists and 7 rebounds. Wow.
