Conference Tournaments

[KevinHall]

Did you all notice SEC officials working other conference games tonight? Jamie Luckie worked the UK-Duke game, and Karl Hess is working the AAC game. Also, Alfred Smith from Louisville is working the UConn-USF game.

They were SEC officials in wolf's clothing.

Horrible play by UL at the end of that game. Couldn't have been worse.

One of the more amazing stats I saw from last nights games was Northwestern went on a 31-0 run against Rutgers. How can a team do that? How bad is Rutgers too?

I think a lot of teams fell off the bubble last night. A few more climbed on. Xavier won a huge game as did Kansas State. USC may have fell off after losing to UCLA. Iowa did too after IU blasted them. If IU wins today they may be back in the bubble conversation. Also Vandy may have clinched a bid with their win.

Here's today's TV schedule. Looks like games are on from noon until well past midnight.

These teams need to keep winning:

Michigan State
California
Xavier
Indiana, They play Maryland. I noticed the schedule had it wrong with Rutgers playing the Terps.

Vandy goes for their third straight win over Florida tonight in the SEC.

Had to listen to the end of the UL-Duke game on the way home. Pitino was having a meltdown. 2 or 3 times you could clearly hear him say "What the f*** are you doing." The announcers even said "you can tell Rick didn't like that".

Funny thing about the Northwestern game was that the idiot Dakich just went on and on about how Rutgers has a great coach and match up really well with Northwestern. Then the 31-0 happened.

They weren't bad in those games. They are only bad when they do SEC games. 😀

So many on here believe that.

Vandy with a huge win over Florida. The Commodores may have sealed their ticket to the tournament.

Also, I don't want to play Vandy again.

Don't look now but Duke is finally Duke. Ugh

Northwestern wins again in a story book season.

And the most dangerous team in the country according that idiot Dan Dakich got pasted by Wisconsin.
Maybe they will be dangerous in the NIT.

Villanova hangs on vs Seton Hall.

Zona beats UCLA!

Vandy will most likely get in now, and I agree, I worry about playing Vandy again.

I heard him say that. He went even further to say they were the most dangerous team and every coach admits it.

I almost fell out of my chair.

I watched a crap-ton of college basketball yesterday and one of the most entertaining games was surprisingly in the SEC. That Ole Miss/Arkansas game last night was highly competitive. Guys flying all over the place.

Zona beats UCLA!

Sean Miller called timeout with one second left because Alford had apparently done that in UCLA's win over Arizona earlier.

When asked why he did it, Miller said he just wanted to make sure his team had "poise"--just like Alford wanted to make sure his team had been poised with one second left earlier.

Sean Miller is COLD BLOODED.

And the narrative about Duke is suddenly they're finally healthy.

They've been healthy for months. Duke seems to go as Grayson Allen is going. In the preseason, Allen was thought to be the leading candidate for the Naismith Award.

It hasn't turned out that way. But when he is playing like a POY guy, that team is tough and could win it all. If they get Crazy Grayson though they will be beaten early.

Joel Berry getting in foul trouble in that game last night was crucial. Totally changed the game.

I like it. And outside of beating us, I hope Sean Miller does well this year. If he's a potential candidate to replace Cal whenever the time comes, I don't want to have to worry about lack of tournament success.

Everything else seems to be there.
