Duke being in contention for a 2 seed is an absolute joke. It's literally only because it's K's last season.

And, I think, because there are a ton of teams that keep shooting themselves in the foot.

Georgetown lost to DePaul last night for its 17th straight defeat. The Hoyas are 6-21 overall  and 0-16 in Big East play. They have three conference games remaining, #21 UConn (20-7) tomorrow, Seton Hall (17-9) Wednesday and Xavier (17-10) next Saturday.

The ACC is down but Duke is still 12th in NET.  24-4 with wins over UK and Gonzaga.  I can’t wait for Coach K to be gone, but that’s totally legit to be in the convo as a 2 seed.

They also have Q2 and Q3 losses, and haven't played a ranked team since November.

Good slate of games, debated about driving over to Syracuse but don’t care enough about either to do it.  Besides, it’s Syracuse armpit of USNY.

This pisses me off.  SMU has beaten Memphis twice, and is 1.5 games ahead of them in conference.  WTF?

Someone also needs to explain to me how UH and Kansas are both 23-4, but UH is ranked ahead of KU in the Net rankings.  How?

[Brian Fantana 6,685]

Yeah, NET rankings are confusing as hell. UH simply does not have the resume to be ranked as highly as they are. They still don't have a single Q1 win.

Most overrated team in ncaa .

Gotta think CBS is regretting picking up Bedlam to start Saturday coverage.

13-14 OSU vs 14-14 OU

[Underdog 28,618]

And will go into 6 OTs and ill be left with just enough airtime to see Arky hit a gw halfcourt hook shot to beat UK.

[Underdog 28,618]

Sweet.  OT #1, only 5 more to go. 

[Js1 85,316]

Izzo ain’t dead yet! 

[Beau Vine 54,215]

There is no fucking reason to save your timeouts in NCAA basketball, because either the other coach or the refs will call a TO if you need one.  

Purdue calls their last timeout with 30ish seconds to go.  MSU hits a 3 with 1.1 seconds left.  Purdue's players are running around lost, trying to figure out how to get the ball in and get a decent shot.  <whistle> Refs decide to review the clock.  Purdue goes to bench and gets a play drawn up, while refs decide clock should show 1.4.  They line up for a play, and Izzo calls a TO.  Purdue throws the ball away, so it seems to be over with 0.4 seconds left.  MSU somehow manages to throw the ball OOB on inbound, so clock doesn't move and Purdue has the ball in the frontcourt, but still doesn't have a TO.  No problem, the refs give them another free TO by spending a loooooooooong time reviewing the play.  Purdue finally fucks it up and the game ends.

So unbelievably fucking maddening.  

[Underdog 28,618]

Just weather the storm.

[Underdog 28,618]

Sorta wishing Bedlam had gone 6 OTs.

Memphis over SMU is a fucking joke. We kicked their dicks in last weekend at home and beat them on the road. 

But I've just come to expect getting hosed by the NCAA. 

[Underdog 28,618]

Cats/Hogs looking it'll go down to the wire. 

[Underdog 28,618]

Looks like Hogs will hold on for the win, strengthen their tournament resume. 

[Beau Vine 54,215]

It has literally been 40+ fucking years (1981) since the NCAA eliminated jump balls on simultaneous possession, yet most announcers still say "jump ball" when there is a held ball situation.  I hear guys who were born after 1981 saying "jump ball."  

How long is this going to continue?

[Sbbruin 21,847]

Struggling early with the Beavers.  Great.

Yeah, not so much.  Bruins by 33.  Trojans went to triple OT against these guys, yet we can’t beat those fuckers.

UVA with the game-winner over FSU. 

[ztejas 43,419]

Auburn is cooked. Big win for Tenn. May help Texas out seeding wise. 

That looked closer to a block than a flagrant.

Holee shit the ending on Fla State- Virginia.   Noles execute a 3/4 court pass and turn/ shoot with 1.0 on the clock for a 64-63 win

When Bruce Pearl isn't coaching, does he lounge under a UV lamp, eating hams?

[Underdog 28,618]

Nice run by the Vols, Auburn was in total control early on. 

Surprised they haven't cut away from this game to devote more airtime to Princess K.

Illinois is one of the most confusing teams in the country. Some nights they look like a final 4 team and other nights they look a CBI team. 

But I guess that's everyone outside of a few teams. 

Great point...  SEC sure is a tough league right now.  Interesting comparison of Sec/B10/B12

1. Kentucky...     Purdue...        Kansas
2. Auburn...        Wisconsin...    baylor
3. Tennessee...  Illinois...          Tech
4. Arkansas...     Ohio St...        Texas
5. Alabama...      Iowa...             Iowa St

His current look reminds me of Mickey Rourke's sleazy lawyer character (Bruiser Stone) from The Rainmaker, but with more cheeseburgers, so we're on the same page.

The big difference is that both the B10 (Neb, Minn) and SEC (Ole Miss, UGa) have teams at the bottom who can't beat anyone.  

WVU's NET ranking is better than 5 SEC teams and 6 B10 teams.

Oh I agree... just gonna be interesting to watch how well these 3 conferences (Sec/B10/B12) perform in the NCAA Tournament this year.  Lots of parity when you look at the Top 5 teams in these 3 conferences...  

1. Kentucky...     Purdue...        Kansas
2. Auburn...        Wisconsin...    baylor
3. Tennessee...  Illinois...          Tech
