Week 18 - Mar 3 to 9

[nwhoopfan]

Shhhhh. Don't worry about such trivial things and enjoy the moment.

All that matters is............

Down by the quad. Bring your green hat.

 

[LETTERL]

My Huskies! Gonna run their winning streak to 5 games, taking down Minnesota by double digits in the Big 10 tourney. One more would be nice for insurance, but I'm feeling pretty decent about Selection
Sunday.

edit--79-65 final




It's kinda weird, I've been complaining for years about poor shooting by the Huskies. Something clicked this year and it really doesn't apply anymore. One of the best shooting teams in the Big 10. It's mostly the same players from last year. Curious.

Ball St. clinches MAC regular season title w/ a decisive second half against Buffalo.

 

[maple]

Mississippi State had a hell of a game against Mizzou. They went on like a 21-0 run in Q3 to grab the lead and capped it with a buzzer beater to end the quarter. And then they carried that momentum into Q4 and won big.

Arizona St pulled off the upset over Cincy, too.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Probably meaningless since regular season title is already wrapped up and it's almost for sure a one bid league, but a bit of a surprise as Wyoming is about to take down UNLV in the regular season finale for both.

 

[packwrap]

Princeton faces Harvard in Ivy semis

This could be an elimination game. I would be shocked if Ivy got 3 teams in.

Looks like you are in...Gophers probably not.
Maybe your roll keeps rolling.

Creme updated bracketology this morning:

According to Creme, Tennessee is no longer hosting. They're a 5-seed

Today's game isn't helping their cause any.

 

[Stagnant]

I think Vanderbilt is good. And I wouldn’t want to see them before the sweet 16 in the ncaa tournament.

Crème has them as an 8. They will probably move to a 6 or 7 now imo.

How was Stanford even listed as next 4 out? They have a good win against FSU and other than that … ? 1-9 vs Q1 and 2-4 vs Q2 and also took a Q3 L.

Well… to be fair I just glanced at George Mason and Marquette and I guess the bubble is just super weak. Their resumes are arguably worse or certainly comparable.

 

[maple]

I’ve been at work and just had a minute to check scores. Vandy!!!

 

[nwhoopfan]

Not a great day for bubble teams. Virginia Tech, Washington and Arizona have all lost. Somebody has to get those last few spots.

 

[azfan]

The Sun Devils tip in 30 minutes against the Cyclones and will most assuredly pick up their 22nd loss of the season.

Records for the four teams from Arizona

Sun Devils will end the year 10-22
Kitties from the dirty t 19-13
NAU Lumberjacks 25-6
GCU Lopes 27-2

The Sun Devil rebuilding is ended for the year- thank God. The kitties may have one more game left at the wnit. The Jacks may win 2 more on their way to the tournament final against Montana State and end with 27 victories.

Grand Canyon has a more than realistic shot of the 3O season and maybe dancing. Saturday day in the regular season against Abilene Christian.

Maybe the loser of the Big Sky tournament?

Most likely NAU but in an upset maybe Montana State?

 

[azfan]

VINTAGE Natasha Adair defense as she guides her rebuilding team to their 22nd loss. In giving up 28 first quarter points to the Cyclones her team refuses to defend the three line so obligingly Iowa State goes 6 for 10. Overall the Cyclones are enjoying this warm up for their quarters match as they're shooting 65% in the first quarter.

Natasha Adair I suspect in the second half will shift into her off season rebuilding mode as she prepares her squad for a fourth consecutive 20 loss season next year.

No way. 1 bid league as always.

I'm not sure the Mountain West would even get 2 teams if UNLV doesn't win their tourney.

WCC has gotten 2 teams with regularity, but I don't see it this year.

Not sure how the A-10 or Missouri Valley is projecting with number of teams.

I keep reading the Ivy has 3 in consideration and I just can't see that either. 2 yes, 3 no.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Looks like about 22 people in the stands watching as Valpo hosts Drake. If official attendance is listed as 500 or 800 or something...they're lying!

 

[nwhoopfan]

Dinnebier scored 30...again...but Drake w/ a fairly stunning loss by 1 to Valpo. Refs were calling ticky tack fouls sending both teams to the line til the last possession by Drake when they decided to swallow the whistle. Bizarre. I just don't like refs. Don't like 'em. Call the game one way or the other, but don't change from possession to possession.

 

[Vowelguy]

Clemso with a 3 with 5 sec left to send Lou to OT.

 

[Bigboote]

I just caught Fairfield for the first time this year. They could be a tough out in a 5-12 or 6-11 game.

PennSt or BC should’ve dumped their coaches and hired DuBonis.

Sounds like Valpo and Drake would be comfortable playing in the mortuary that is The Conte Forum.
