Conference Tournament Week Thread

Whew. That looked worse than me shooting free throws.

VCU threw up 31 threes (only hit 11) when they played UT. I think it's their plan

It is. Had they made the tournament, the minute they went cold they would probably be done.

Gaudelock is unconscious right now

Fear the Monarchs! Go Big Blue. I would have loved to see them beat George Mason for the CAA title to make more of a statement, but there's something special about beating your rival for the conference title, especially since the CAA Tourney is in Richmond every year. Frank Hassell is the real freaking deal and Blaine Taylor is a heck of a coach. They shouldn't get anything lower than a 9 seed, they don't have any true bad losses, aside from maybe the Delaware loss, but we bounced back to beat them later in the regular season and in the CAA Tourney.

I'd say ODU gets an 8 seed.

And in local interest, MTSU is battling Arkansas-Little Rock for a spot in the Sun Belt final on CSS.

Teddy is ruining this game. Ridiculous officiating slanted in Wofford's favor.

never fails.

Ugh, come on Charleston...

Weideman sucks on defense.

Correction: Weideman sucks all-around.

The loss to Charleston looks worse now.

Eh, not really. Had they lost to a 300+ RPI team or something it would've been worse.

Really disappointing to see this happen, though. I still think Goudelock could've done a bit of damage by himself in the Big Dance. Oh well. Same thing on Norris Cole and Cleveland State. America misses out on seeing two of the most underrated players out there take on top competition.

Gonzaga is going to hold on it looks like. I don't think they deserved an at-large bid.

I thought they'd get in the First Four due to name power, but it looks like it'll be St. Mary's in one of those games instead.

A lot of teams have similar resumes. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Crazy: out of the eight auto-bids handed out so far, only one was to a regular season champ (Belmont).

 

[govols120]

Don't know if I've seen a more disjointed late-game possession not by Tennessee than what I just saw from Seton Hall.

And Seton Hall was saved by the fact that Jeremy Hazell exists. OT!

7 seeds set in the NIT field then.

Not quite. Both WCC teams were getting in.

North Texas taking on Arkansas-Little Rock for the Sun Belt crown on ESPN2. Personally, I want the Mean Green to win.

In other news...Villanova 65, USF 64 with 2:02 left. Not good.

WHOA!!!!!! UALR THREE WITH 1.5 LEFT! Unreal! 64-63 Little Rock

Glad someone else saw that. I just accidentally watched an insanely good game.
