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.

Northern Arizona Lumberjacks.

Grand Canyon if they are upset in the tournament.

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.
 
First game of the day. St Joseph and Richmond. Hats off to the folks in the stands for this one. Love the support.
 
St. Joe's beats Richmond 50-49 in the A-10 semifinals, thus creating a "bid steal" scenario as Richmond is a virtual lock for an at-large.
I’ve seen the Spiders 3-4 times this year. They really didn’t look like themselves today. I still think they’ll get a tourney bid despite the loss today.

They might, but those two Q4 losses (to two really, really bad teams) are going to hurt. I can't remember the last time an at-large mid-major got in with more than one.
