This Tennessee/Texas A&M game is telling me the Vols could have a quick out in the second round in the tourney if matched up against a tough, defensive team that likes playing slowly.

Teams like Northwestern, Mississippi State, North Texas, Liberty and Sam Houston State come to mind.
 
It'll be close. I think this loss is no more than a 3 spot drop, moving them to 28. The concern is also how UK and Miami are playing - both are hot and can enter top 30 after this weekend. Assuming X beats Hall and Butler and loses to Providence, they might still squeeze in right at 30. Rutgers playing like crap recently could help them.
It was a home loss to #84. They were analytical 8 point favorites. Even a 1 point loss is 9 points off expectation. They're going to drop quite a bit. I'm predicting #31.

Watch out for North Texas!
 
13-0 run the last 4 minutes for Marquette. Were down 3 now up 10 with 7m left.

And that's the weakness of going strictly off metrics. Moore is back for Nova. Different team. Probably should've only been 4-5 pt faves (incl 3 for home) instead of 8.

Marquette snaps Creighton's win streak. Kolek was clutch

A good result for UConn in terms of BET seeding
Marquette high chance at the BET #1 seed, and maybe a #1/2 seed come NCAA’s if they run the table and others lose.

They have them as the 4 seed so that seems unlikely. 4 seed while ranked #10 in the country makes no sense to me.
 
Thought they said Neptune was walking over that line on the court coaches cant go past.
He might have actually crossed half-court. Don't think being out of the coaches box matters much.

A&M has been hot. They are good. Vols are very streaky team, kind of like UConn. Big wins (Kansas, Bama) not great losses.

We can’t catch Creighton unless they lose to a bad team. They’ve got one potential loss left. If we win out we could catch Xavier, which has two tough games left.

Which doesn't matter anyway, because we are talking about the difference between a 4 and a 5 seed, which play each other in the first game.

You were more correct than I was - nine slot drop. But how does Nova only bump up one slot?

It matters if you'd like to face Xavier without Freemantle. That's our best possible outcome. Nobody should want Nova right now.

If the ideal scenario is us in the #4/5 game vs. Xavier, then yes, Xavier losing helps, though more because of their place in the standings than ours.

We're not going to end up on the same side of the bracket as Nova unless a lot of stupid things happen in the next two weeks.
 
I am assuming we have the 5 seed. I want
1 MQ
2 PC/Creighton
3 PC/Creighton
4 X

This is what, I think, you have to hope for if you're Uconn. Unless we send some sort of message tonight to Providence....but I certainly wouldn't want to play either Prov or Creighton until the very end. Like how we stack up against a Freemantle-less Xavier, and we did just beat Marq very handily. I think worst case scenario is Creighton being the 4

Kind of amazing ACC reg season title comes down to final game of Pitt@Miami. Both have beaten UVA, Pitt beat Miami at the Pete. No bluebloods to be found.
Pitt is unranked. But should be.
 
Butler at Depaul is a fun game. Lots of creative and athletic plays by both sides.
 
Virginia got smoked by BC. That's a terrible loss.

Its bad but somehow BC is not the worst team in the ACC, not even bottom five. They are, in fact, only a game and a half behind Cuse, Wake and UNC.
