Sweet. Is this Collinsworth's senior year? Haws is gone, right? Who do they have now? I hope they miss the tournament.

Yep, Haws is gone and Collinsworth is a senior. They have a bit more size this year and a lot of chuckers.

#9 Wichita State goes does earlier tonight to an unranked Tulsa. Duke also lost but to Kentucky, so no shame there. The Kansas-Michigan State game just wrapped up an entertaining game, with MSU on top.

Duke looks like they can be had this year. They're still really, really good, but it does not appear that the new guys are as good as Jones and Okafor.

Yeah, the secret is to have three seven foot monsters and the best pg in the country. Kentucky looked amazing.

Haha...well there's that.

I'll be interested to see how Poeltl matches up against Plumlee, because I thought he played pretty well vs. Okafor last year, but struggled with Kaleb Tarczewski.

Calling timeout to set up a final shot is rarely successful but it happens too often. It's one of Kodiak's foibles and it probably cost Oklahoma a magnificent win at Kansas tonight. Kruger is such a control freak. He does it over and over again.

This is UNLV's way of conceding they have a huge advantage in the MWC Tournament. You couldn't let Rice coach in it and fire him after UNLV wins it and (maybe?) wins a game or two in the Dance.

It's been a long time since I've seen this happen. Probably more rare than the ball coming to rest on the back of the rim.

A missed dunk when the net snaps the ball back up and out of the rim.

Duke over UVa with a buzzer beater! Tony Bennett still has never won in Cameron.

I went and watched my five year old nephew play Jr Jazz this afternoon. The refs only blow the whistle when the ball goes out of bounds or on jump balls. When the kids pick up the ball, tuck it and start running the ref simply admonishes them: "You need to dribble!" But no traveling calls.

Anywho, Grayson Allen's double travel on the game winner was far worse than anything in my nephew's game.

(Very unrelated note: The famous Crazy Lady that dances at RES was at the game, apparently she has a grandson on my nephew's team. She didn't dance).

We're really getting down to the exciting part of the regular season. Some standings thoughts:

In the American, there are 4 teams (Temple, SMU, Cincy, and UConn) within a game of first place.

In the A-10, St Joe's, Dayton, and VCU are tied at 11-2.

In the ACC, there are 6 teams (Miami, UNC, UVa, Louisville, Duke, and ND) within a game of first.

In the Big12, Kansas might keep the streak going! They have a one game lead on West Va and two games on the rest of the pack.

Villanova has a two game lead in the Big East.

In the Big10, Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, and Wisconsin are all within a game of each other.

SDSU has the MWC all but wrapped up.

Kentucky has a 1 game lead over LSU and two games over the rest of the SEC.

I'm laid up in bed today, so it was March Madness one week early. Saw the Utes win, Kentucky loses, Tarheels lose, and the cherry on top was Kyle Collinsworth losing on senior night as Nick Emery bricked back to back open threes at the end. Solid day of hoops.

I was torn on the BYU/Gonzaga outcome. I'd like to see Gonzaga miss the tournament for the first time in 18 years.

Game was probably inconsequential in that regard. Both will likely need to win the conference tourney to get a bid.

Wanna bet? Gonzaga's got too much goodwill built up to be excluded just yet. Even BYU, post-Jimmer, kept getting at least play-in bids while not even winning that regular season title. Gonzaga is in.

I tend to agree. They are 21-7, with their worst loss being to UCLA. I think a loss tonight would have buried their at large chances. Their RPI is around 70, but with some bubble team losses and their reputation, they could sneak in with a loss to St Mary's in the WCC championsip game in their tournament.

I would guess BYU still has a okay shot at stealing a bid since there's no runaway favorite in Vegas.

The best situation would be for one of the other teams to win the wcc tourney. San Fran or pepperdine or something.

ACC announces it will go to 20 conference games in hoops. I think this is great. I would like the Pac-12 to do the same. Seems like it would make everyone's job a little easier to not have to schedule as many OOC games, and it would make our OOC griping a little less relevant.

But it also means with a year like last year the conference beats up on itself more.

Reality is they need to come to a national scheduling agreement in both football and basketball, having each major conference do it differently just makes no sense.

Beating yourself up as a conference doesn't cost you as much in basketball as it does in football. The ACC, in particular, is just fine when they beat themselves up.

The tournament selection is ridiculously tied to numbers, and a move like this probably increases the SOS and RPI for most conference teams.

Maybe. Maybe not. It still needs to be the same across the board.
