Put all the goings on of NCAA basketball here.
VCU/UVa is on right now in the 2nd half, and VCU just cut a 10 point lead to two.
Woof. Huskies are getting whipped by Va Tech. I'm sure there is a joke in there somewhere.
Some good games to watch at work today:
Marquette/VCU at 12:30
Wichita St/Cal at 2:30
And some for home:
UCLA/Creighton at 5:00
Texas A&M/Okie St at 5:00
Baylor/Wisconsin at 7:30
Michigan/LSU at 9:00
UNC/Stanford at 9:30
Get yer fill this week because college basketball takes a month off in Dec before good games return in Jan.
UCLA goes down to Creighton.Quote:

Cal choked their game away as well. They were up big on the Shockers and eventually gave it away.Quote:

ACC/Big10 Challenge starts tonight. Not sure why we didn't create this with the Big12 before the SEC did. We could still do the Big East, though!
Not sure where else to put this:
Mizzou loses by 4 to #23 ranked West Va.Quote:

Crazy. How does Few convince these guys that an annual hibernation is a good idea?
Why does the big10 play conference games right now? Then they go back to non conference until JanuaryQuote:

For those of you in the know, what's the best way to purchase NCAA tournament tickets? I'm looking at Boise for 1st/2nd round games but not sure where to look. A guick google search and I just get more confused. Are prices per game? per day?
Prices are per session. There are 3 sessions, of 2 games each. 2 sessions on the first day, one session on the 2nd day. You can buy a full session package if you buy early enough, or can find someone selling on the secondary market.Quote:

Maybe he’d have more luck at Spudhub.Quote:

Florida (6 Seed) vs. Alabama - L, moved to 10 seed
Miami (9 Seed) vs. UNC (2 Seed) - W, moved to 7 seed
Kansas St. - (10 Seed) vs. TCU (6 Seed) - L, went from last four byes to a 10 seed...weird.
St. Bonaventure (Last four byes - 11 Seed) vs. Davidson, W - triple OT thriller. No change.
Boise St. (Next Four Out) vs. SDSU, L - No longer on the list.
Oklahoma (8 Seed) vs. Baylor (First Four Out) - W, Now last four byes - 11 seed. Oklahoma has dropped to a 10.
Of Note - Missouri, one of our best wins is @ Vandy and with an RPI of 42 (9 Seed in the tourney right now). - W
Miami spoils UNC's senior night with a 40 foot game winning three pointer. Sweet.
Bubble games tonight:
Providence (Last Four In - 11 Seed) vs. Xavier
Pittsburgh vs. Notre Dame (Next Four Out - below us on the list)
Texas A&M (8 Seed) vs. Georgia
Florida St. (9 Seed) vs. Clemson
Syracuse (First four out) vs. Boston College
In other news, Ole Miss, Butler, UNLV and Utah St. are all in action tonight, which may marginally help our RPI, but not by much.
Why is the Big10 tournament going on right now?
They wanted to hold it in Madison Square Garden, and this is the week that worked for that.Quote:

LAST FOUR IN Providence 19-10 Louisville 19-12 USC 21-10 Texas 18-13 Q1 - 3-8 .273 Q1 - 3-10 .231 Q1 - 4-6 .400 Q1 - 4-10 .286 Q2 - 5-1 .833 Q2 - 1-2 .333 Q2 - 5-3 .625 Q2 - 4-3 .571 Q3 - 7-0 .800 Q3 - 9-0 1.000 Q3 - 6-0 1.000 Q3 - 5-0 1.000 Q4 - 4-1 .800 (lost to UMass 243) Q4 - 7-0 1.000 Q4 - 6-1 .857 (lost at home to Princeton 221) Q4 - 5-0 1.000
QUESTIONABLES Arizona State 20-10 Q1 - 3-5 .375 Q2 - 4-4 .500 Q3 - 8-1 .889 Q4 - 5-0 1.000
Taking a look at those numbers Utah is the 2nd best Quadrant 1 team in the group behind USC
Utah ranks 6th for quadrant 2
Utah ranks 7th for quadrant 3 (Just the UNLV game keeping them from 7-0)
Utah ranks 1st for quadrant 4 (USC and Providence getting in with +220 RPI losses is sickening)
Let me know if there are other teams you'd like me to pull a report on.
