DJ Burns is certainly one of the more unique players in CBB. He could probably be a two sport athlete playing OL for the football team.

Has another team been in position to do 5 games in 5 days since UConn '11? Was Georgetown's run with Ewing 5 games or 4?

This man is coming to take one of your poverty church league team's bid. a true hero.

He's basically same height/weight as Elton Brand and an inch taller and 5 lbs more than DeJuan Blair, but he looks a helluva lot thicker than either of those two.

Agreed, he looks way bigger than them. He looks like a lineman on Georgia.
 
Isaac McNeeley despite playing a good game will have trouble sleeping tonight from that missed FT that would have iced the game with a 4 pt lead with 4 seconds left.

Nc state winning is not good for bubble teams. I am looking at you Seton Hall.

I think it's great for bubble teams simply by taking out UVA. Now, if NC State somehow wins tomorrow, then yeah, you've got a point. But just getting to tomorrow won't be enough to get them back on the bubble.
 
Colorado wins here they should be in and then you could have Oregon potentially stealing a bid for the title game tomorrow

Virginia is probably still getting in though, so it's not taking them out.

When will your football-first school start taking basketball seriously? Start printing the banner for your CIT berth!
 
MWC having a 12:30amEST tip off and then having the winner turn around for a 6:00pmEST tip is crazy

Too bad ESPN gave NC State the ultimate jinx by saying they already won the ACC Tourney

I'm not seeing it. They were already last four in on bracketmatrix and just lost to a lower seed. One of UVA, Hall or UNM has to go to make room for TAMU. Hall was already there after their Thursday loss and UNM just won last night. So it's UVA that'll go out.

I did a blind resume comparison yesterday and they were clearly a tier ahead of the rest of the bubble due to their resume metrics, 23 wins, and (now) 10-10 Q1+Q2 record and no bad losses. Their top end is worse than some, but 15-4 against Q2 and Q3. Usually the committee favors the resume metrics at the bubble and Virginia's are strong (38 KPI, 33 SOR, 39 WAB). If the committee puts a lot of emphasis on predictive metrics, they could be left out but I would be a bit surprised. It's more likely some of the Big East teams like Seton Hall that has worse resume metrics will be left out.

I think Michigan St is in more trouble than Virginia.

We'll see. Their NET is 55 and they have exactly 2 Q1 wins. Seton Hall's NET is worse (66) but they have 5 Q1 wins. St. John's is in. They have a NET of 34 and 4 Q1 wins.

I do think PC is out (57, but 6 Q1 wins) and Seton Hall is in trouble wins: against UConn and Marquette are doing a lot of work for them. Depending on bid thieves, I think St. John's is on the border for Dayton and Seton Hall is in Dayton as of right now.
 
I am going to say it now. Watch out for Auburn in the tourney. They are in the KP range we were last year and now they are more than likely going to win the SEC tourney which probably will get them on the three seed line. They are 1-7 in Quad 1 games so at best they end up 3-7. So maybe they stay in the 4 line. They are the only team top ten in offense and defense on KP.
