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.

Big night for basketball fans. UNC vs MSU. A&M vs USC. Duke vs Florida.
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:

Gonzaga loses to Villanova in their last meaningful basketball game until March.
Crazy. How does Few convince these guys that an annual hibernation is a good idea?

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.
You'll probably have to buy from the secondary market at this point. They usually go on sale 8 months in advance, and sell out pretty quickly. Not sure what the best secondary market would be in Boise, other than Stubhub.

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.

The end of the UVA game last night was one for the ages. Down by 4 with 0.9 sec left, and they came back to beat Louisville. In fact, they scored 8 points in the final 7 seconds.

Lots of bubble teams picking up big wins today all around the country. I'll be interested to see what the projections look like heading into league tournaments (Sans the Big 10).

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.
