Week 16 preview (Feb. 21-27)

Not sure why but only when the Pac 12 has a close home win vs a team that is not the best people get their pitch and forks out. I won't say the Pac 12 is the best, but they definitely have an argument to be the 2nd best conference in Wbb. Out of all the conferences I feel that road trips are way harder out West than any other conference. That being said Stanford probably had their worst game not from a scoring standpoint, but from an execution standpoint. Arizona it pains me to see them without their best player, am hoping she can comeback before the tournament.
 
OU beats Kansas State 69-66 at home on a last second 3-pointer by Taylor Robertson.

Baylor beats Kansas at home 85-77.

You really haven't been paying attention if you think it's only the Pac-12.
(And what are "pitch and forks"? Never heard of that phrase.)

I spoke with Cate Reese and Adia Barnes and they are really pissed at you for jinxing them like you did.

doubtful. I knew Barnes a long time ago before you even knew who she was.

Beware of Seton Hall. They have won eight of their last nine.

SH beats DePaul 94-90 at DePaul. Until DePaul can play some form of consistent defense, they will not make any noise. This BE parity is annoying

All the more reason she feels deeply betrayed by the jinx you cast over her team.

what was the excuse vs Louisville? Oh yea they were healthy and humiliated them. :)

LOL what's that about Louisville? Gotta hand it to you, you are amazing at both regular jinxes and reverse jinxes! How'd that beatdown feel on your favorite team today?
 
Aneesah Morrow with a monster game to carry DePaul to a critical win over Creighton.

 
LSU looked like they were running away with it, up 56-41 with just over 5 minutes remaining, and then went ice cold as Tennessee mounted a 13-0 run to cut the lead to 2. Luckily for them, Key missed the game-tying bucket and they just barely hold on, 57-54.

UConn romps.
ND gets blown out, embarrassed and dragged.
Tennessee loses in excruciating fashion.

The tripod of a very good day :)

So good, it deserves an encore:

I kinda feel ya. As happy as I was to see Wynn gone at UW, this year under Langley they just couldn't score at all made me not all that excited about the change.
 
After a fairly remarkable season, Florida is suddenly imploding down the stretch. Probably hurt their seeding this last week.
 
Did Michigan St.'s bubble burst today?

So...Iowa and Ohio St. might be sharing the Big 10 crown. Anybody predict that?
 
I've been tough on Whalen, but Minnesota finished 7-11 in conference, there were certainly several worse teams in the B1G.
 
Is Arkansas really a Tourney team? I just don't see it. The more time goes by, the more I think Neighbors was just lucky to have Plum at UW. His tenure at Arky is looking like a lot of meh thus far.

Not saying a whole lot when those teams are Illinois, Rutgers, Penn State and Wisconsin.
 
Thoughts on VA Tech vs. NC State? Do the 2 bigs cancel each other out? Does one of them gain the upper hand? Seems like in the first matchup neither had a real strong game IIRC.

edit--ooph, looked at the box score, neither in double figures, 2-16 and 3-13 shooting; brutal
 
Razorbacks have lost 4 straight and 6 of 8. Really their only good win this year was over LSU. If they get in, the committee will be revealing a very heavy SEC bias.

(Kudos for the gratuitous Plum reference!)

Have you seen the resumes of the bubble teams? Meh would be putting it mildly. Tell us which 36 at-large teams are clearly better. I am no fan of the SEC but Arkansas is not even among the last 4 in.

That's pretty sad. I looked at their schedule, there's nothing there other than the W over LSU. Nothing in OOC. Nothing else in conference. If that puts them solidly in...wow. Good thing the field is expanding to 68, so 4 more undeserving teams can get in this year.

edit--it's been at least a week since my last Plum reference; anyway it's totally germane to a discussion about Neighbors' coaching history

edit part deux...good thing nobody ever brings up Taurasi, Bird, Maya, etc. on this board right? :rolleyes:

Since you're trying to make it all about conference bias, what did the bubble teams in the Pac-12 do? Colorado and Utah are viewed as even more safely in than Arkansas, but who is the best team they beat? What did they do in the OOC?
