TX-Arlington beat GA State 68-67

That would've been a nice one to have

Oregon putting in the managers and waterboys up 96-60 vs Colorado

Do we care about the UTC vs ETSU game?

I can think of one poster who will be enthralled.

Not much, but probably UTC on the off chance they lost a few and fell out of the top 100 therefore making our loss look worse.

Also simply for the fact to see SD's favorite team lose as well.

Yep, the more the Bucs lose, the less he's around

Yeah they are at 82 with some bad RPI teams coming up

Pitt up 10 vs FSU..worried about this one. Loss would have probably eliminated the Panthers

 

[VolnJC]

Mich St down 20 to Purdue...I would almost call them a lock even at 16-11...they have 5 good wins and winnable(albeit tough games) coming up. I think one regular season and one in the Big10 tourney seals it for them.

FSU looks extremely poor today

FSU looks extremely poor today

Yep, very lethargic but they have cut it from 15-3

One thing that came up on the Basilio show this week was the number of SEC teams making the tournament.

its really hard to see 6 teams from this conference making it. Bama and Arky making it could potentially be bad news for us.

I don't think Bama's resume is better than ours. The only way they get in is if they keep winning, beat us, and win a couple in the SECT. If they beat us and we lose to USC, then we aren't getting in.

FSU loses
Texas AM wins
LSU loses

 

[VolnJC]

Pitt is going to win but they still have a tough road to make it to the NCAA at Wake, GT, and Virginia and home vs UNC

Tennessee is more likely than Bama

Bingo

 

[FleeceItOut]

Maten goes down for UGA. Pretty sure he isn't returning

 

[BigZiti09]

Tennessee is more likely than Bama

Yeah. I guess I was focusing too much on their conference record and not the overall resume.

 

[Catbone]

I've never cheered for UK harder than i am right now.

F*** UGA

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

One more win (versus Vandy Wednesday) will just about punch TN's NIT ticket. Worst finish going into that tournament would be .500. That's probably good enough this year with as big of a log jam as there is on the NCAAT bubble. Unless the rule about no losing records being allowed applies and Chaminade doesn't count. I bet it does count though.

Yes a win vs Vandy would definitely get us into NIT I would think
