Sorry to post on 2 threads (might be a little adrenaline)... SEC quarterfinal has taken a slightly interesting turn.
 
I thought Vandy got hosed down the stretch with no calls but it was a heck of a comeback effort nonetheless.
 
Did Vandy come back because SC started to rest its starters ?

The comeback began with the second half tip-off against the starters and continued against the whole 2 deep. It ended when the team fed Chloe with 4 minutes to go.

In mid major action last night... The mighty Aggies of NCA&T clinched the #1 seed in next weeks CAA tournament with a victory over Wiliam and Mary.

Earlier today my UNCG Spartans averted disaster with a come from behind win over Wofford 54-50. Came down to the final seconds but my Spartans advance to the SoCon championship game on Sunday vs nemesis Chattanooga.
 
Cal has NINETEEN TURNOVERS in the first half. And yet somehow only trails ND 31-28.

Bizarre.

ND 1-9 from 3.

I love all these P-4.5 tournaments being played at the same times.

Tomorrow is shaping up to be one of the best Saturday’s of wbb ever!

Love it!

In the olden days (late 90s/early 00s), all the sweet 16 games were on a single Saturday. That was a pretty fun day.
 
I think Prov was picked 3rd in the Big East. They finished 7th and were bounced in the first round by Georgetown.
But the Friars have no money so their coach will remain.

And any hope of change at Xavier likely went away with their upset over DePaul. Musketeers have now won 2 conference games in the last 2 years.

Post Season
All these teams are well below .500, so their seasons are done.

Top 4 in conf will play in NCAA or WBIT or WNIT or WBI.
Villanova and St Johns have a shot at one of these.

The WBIT is the new tournament run by the NCAA that started last year. It takes the first 4 out, conference regular season champs who didnt make the NCAAs, and other at-larges to get to 32.

The WNIT is 48 teams.

The WBI was paused last year but is supposed to be back this year. It has 8 teams.

That means 156 teams in the post season! There are ~180 teams with winning records so if you are >=.500, good chance you get to keep playing.

We've had basically no upsets today. Just Michigan, and that was only a 2.5 point spread

Day isn't over. Oklahoma St. is playing someone they should beat easily...so they'll probably lose. Trailing currently.

edit--still down by 1 thru 3 quarters; Oklahoma St. is the weirdest team in the country

Even though it's a semifinal, a St. Joseph's win over Richmond tomorrow probably puts them in...right?

St Joe's? 53rd in the NET. 3 Q4 losses.

Noooo way.

I don't understand how Creme has them in his first 4 out. Stanford has a better resume by far.

Fair point. I just assumed Creme had some solid reasoning. But their resume is basically nothing. 82 Massey as well.

heh 53rd in the NET is still better than 68 in the NET.:rolleyes:

St Joe's could be eye candy for the...

'Please give me a 2nd place team from a small league instead of #13 in a power League!...'

fans.

Amazingly, no weak team has put on a surge. Deciding teams 12-16 and 60-68 more a battle of attrition than someone seizing it.

Still plenty of big games now Sat and Sun!

Today's matchups - ACC, BE, B10, B12, SEC, the OVC championship, along with the two remaining undefeateds in conference play. Big East with the only two real upsets, as the 1/5 matchups are a toss up.

Lots of good games yesterday with close scores. I've got a weird feeling that today is going to disappoint a little and we'll have more blowouts than expected. Teams that lack depth or who are playing for the third day in a row will start showing signs of fatigue.

Anyone else starting to feel like there is a second group of 6 that is emerging? There seems to be a widening gap between the 3 and 4 seeds. So we have the top 6 which I think are the title contenders and now we have a second group of 6 which are teams that could beat the title contenders on a good day.

Title Contenders:
Texas
USC
UCLA
South Carolina
UConn
Notre Dame

Final Four Contenders (teams with title contender upset potential but unlikely to be in the title game):
NC State
LSU
Oklahoma
Kentucky
Duke
TCU

Remainder of top 16:
Ohio State
Kansas State
North Carolina
Ole Miss

That middle group, especially LSU and NC State could create some problems for teams and could make it to the title game. That third group, Ole Miss especially, are dangerous as well. They could shake things up. Exciting times for us a WBB fans.
