Week 18 - Championship Week! (schedules thru 3/8)

Air Force is about to stun San Diego St. in a Mountain West quarterfinal. I don't think SDSU is gonna get an at large berth, so this isn't a bid stealing event going on.

edit--hold on a sec; up 8 w/ a minute left seemed pretty safe, but Aztecs are making a frantic run

Didnt see the whole game, but SC pretty listless
Surprised TX won and even more surprised that it was never within (10)?
 
Okay rally thwarted, Air Force knocks out #1 seed and prohibitive favorite San Diego St.
 
Merrimack kept it close for a quite a while, but Fairfield ended up winning handily. Sets up the showdown we want, Fairfield vs. Quinnipiac Round 3, winner takes all.

I see others agree that there is nothing better than a Chicken dinner on a Sunday afternoon

This isn't college football. Stop pushing the point spread crap.

"Pushing"? WTF does that mean. Newsflash, the committee doesn't consult me so I'm not "pushing" this to anyone.

Let me guess, you're one of those 'fans" who yells at Charlie Creme for trying to predict what the committee will do.

Of course dominating a quality opponent matters. Will it be enough to move to UCLA to 1? I dont know. But whatever the probablity, it's higher than it was this morning.

No I'm one of those fans who despises the gambling mentality in the seeding process. Point spreads come from gamblers. You can see how that has stripped sportsmanship from competition. It is most prevalent in College football.
 
Will today's results completely rearrange the committee's projected #1 seeds? Hmm.

Unfortunately we won't know for another week. It's a good time to take a break and catch up on some reading.

What are we talking about? UCLA won by 51, UConn won by 49, but only UCLA was running up the score?

Who knows, however I saw this and thought, huh, thinking points scored might nudge them to the top?

I think it's fair to say UConn is a deeper team than UCLA. Off the bench the Bruins play Dugalic and the younger Betts regularly. The rest, not so much. UCLA particularly lacking depth at guard. Bilic is listed as a guard, but she's not really a ballhandler/playmaker, so they pretty much have to have Rice or Leger-Walker on the floor at all times.
 
Rhode Island and George Mason each have only 1 Tourney appearance previously, so will be 2nd appearance for either one.
 
So Close should've played 3 post players and no PG for the entire 4th quarter. That totally makes sense. And one of the guards averages about 3 minutes per game. Some of you sure have some opinions about teams you don't watch play.

UCLA made a strong case for the number one overall seed. Apparently they even kept their starters in late to make sure they poured it on (that’s what I hear anyway).

Please give UCLA the no. 1 overall seed. I want UCONN going into the tournament angry and with a chip on their shoulders.
 
Pulling for North Dakota St. They've never been to the Tourney. South Dakota St. has been almost every year since 2009.
 
TCU/West Virginia is just brutally ugly. Pretty close to unwatchable.

Surprised that Sienna Betts is a bench ...

So is Dugalic, and she was a starter last year. Close tinkered w/ starting lineup quite a bit early on, but settled w/ a 4 guard lineup. It seems to have worked fairly well...
 
George Mason kept fighting til the end, but Rhode Island w/ the 2 point victory and punches their ticket.

Never bet against the Jackrabbits. Up 7 w/ 30+ seconds left. Too bad for the Bizon.

edit--64-51 final


SDSU left no doubts, beat North Dakota St. and South Dakota twice each in the last several weeks; clearly the best team in the conference

Wow, Olivia Miles just picked up her 4th foul just seconds into Q3. That's gonna hurt.
 
TCU just doesn't have it today. Nothing is working. Down 9 and running out of time.
 
i am sorry seton hall. I have been rooting for Villanova. The big east is decided; no more cannibalism. These are the two tournament teams and they should play in the final.
 
Okay @triaddukefan you gave us High Point as a stone cold lock, they find themselves trailing Radford just before the half. What gives?
