Week 18 - March 4 to 11 (conf standings, NET, conf tourney games)

Ummm.

Technically they're right based on what I'm watching. Credit to Maryland, but OSU are beating themselves in their decision making and losing their composure with calls not going their way.

 

[FormerCTrez]

Ummm.

I read it, and figured @WBBTakeover was probably referring to Maryland. But I chuckled at the statement none the less.

 

[LwrcasefaN]

Barker and A&M are looking like a bad fit.

"Looking"? Not sure if they were to be honest after last season. Chalked it up to being year 1, but not sure now

 

[WBBTakeover]

Barker and A&M are looking like a bad fit.

Sad, because she is a talent.

ND doubling up Louisville 34-17 at the half. If the results hold, the Selection Committee will have a TIME trying to figure out what to do with this Cardinals team. They look like a double-digit seed at the moment. I'm hoping that they end up being chicken feed for my girls, but we'll see.

Louisville probably a 6 seed. For sure no lower than 7.

#1 seed Ohio State down by 13 to start the 4th vs 9-9 Maryland. Maryland had a 20 point lead a couple of minutes ago but OSU at least closed it some with a run.

 

[WBBTakeover]

Louisville probably a 6 seed. For sure no lower than 7.

Let me rephrase here. They're PLAYING like a double-digit seed. They have not looked good in weeks.

 

[Geew1992]

Picking Auburn over LSU ( again) tonight. LSU can’t stop Auburn’s PG Honesty Scott Grayson.

And lsu is without Williams

 

[Vowelguy]

Louisville probably a 6 seed. For sure no lower than 7.

You sure about that?
I haven’t looked at the whole bracket, so I don’t know how the stand relatively, but their recent performance has been poor: loss to UVa, 2 very close wins over BC. Only decent win is at home over FSU. Wouldn’t be surprised if they end up lower.

 

[WBBTakeover]

Kenny Brooks is such a good coach. My goodness.

 

[Vowelguy]

ND wraps up hosting with their W today. And they’ll be favored over VT without Kitley.

I thought for sure OhioSt was a 1 seed, but today’s clunker really could push them to a 2, esp if Iowa UCLA Tex win their tourneys.

Yep, I'm pretty sure on this. No lower than 7. Unless the current 7 and 8 seeds do some really amazing things in the next two days ...

 

[ISUnorth]

What a faceplant by the Buckeyes. Game's over and announcers keep talking 'It's go time for Ohio State". Three minutes left and Maryland up by 18. "Go time" was 15 minutes ago.

Like, Duke? I'm sensing an ACCT run.

 

[Vowelguy]

And Maryland safely in now.

Because the B1G conference doesn't want nor do they promote parity. Other conferences have no problem with touting the competitive nature of their conference. B1G can't do that because they want those Top 3 to shine.

I've heard the Pac-12, ACC, and SEC announcers go on and on about how tough their conferences are and how teams from the middle/bottom can compete with teams at the top. Meanwhile, you have Meghan McKeown going on and on about how nobody can beat Ohio State, Iowa, or Indiana. Why not? Those aren't Final Four teams, IMO.

I think they’re just trying to keep folks from changing the dial by suggesting that OSU could come back.

Huh?

Okay that's one team. Would need multiple such runs from the 7-8 liners.

If @triaddukefan is really sick, how does he have time to post from 2 separate accounts?

 

[Vowelguy]

And Maryland safely in now.

For all the abuse Brenda takes, her teams always fight.

 

[WBBTakeover]

Huh?

How often did you hear "Maryland can compete with Ohio State" leading up to this game? Or did you hear, "Looking forward to the Ohio State/Iowa rematch!" over and over again?

Yup. Big Ten is all "Ohio State something something Michign something Penn State something something" in all sports. Will be interesting to see the impact of USC and UCLA and company next season across the board.

 

[Plebe]

Is this the first major upset of the conference tourneys?

I believed Maryland was in after their win yesterday, but this huge win today probably pushes them up to a 10 seed IMO. If they win tomorrow (a winnable game vs MSU or NE) they possibly could land in the 8-9 game.
