And that's pretty much my point also, my brother. Last year the Big Mouth got 3 of the 4 #1 seeds in the tourney, and for a few weeks all we all heard was their bragging and chirping. But how many of them played in the Championship game?

Before I start on the balance of today's action, let's get 2 scores from last night outta the way first:

Cornell 95 - Brown 76 = Now you know at least one of the teams who'll be playing 2 weeks from now. The Big Red are the first to get their dance ticket punched . . . just like we all knew by now.

St. John's 90 - DePaul 82 (3OT) = OK, unless some miracle happens in MSG next weekend, neither of these teams will be dancing. But that doesn't mean that they still don't want to win. Three OTs from two also-rans? That's some good stuff there.


What with all the conference tournaments going on, plus with all the bubble teams trying to improve their odds, plus all the frontrunners trying to improve their seedings, I could be here all day posting all the games of import going on today. Instead, I'll limit myself to those I find most notable. However, please feel free to toss your own in about your own teams too.

Tulsa vs. Memphis = Both these teams are pencilled into my bracket, but the outcome will decidedly help determine where. Both want it.

Maryland vs. Virginia = Here's 1/2 of the ACC regular season. I don't see the Terps having a problem taking this one, but if the Cavs can find a little of the magic they had back in the first part of their season . . . who knows? That's why they play them.

Oklahoma State vs. Nebraska = It's all shucks for the Huskers this year, and I don't think the Cowpokes need another W for an at-large. They may be only 8-7 in conference play, but they do have a handful of high-quality wins, including one over:

Kansas vs. Missouri = Can the Jayhawks bounce back further from that upset and follow their spanking of K-State with another win? Or will Missouri give them game? I'd expect the latter, with KU taking it late.

Richmond vs. Charlotte = The Spiders have earned a slot . . . now let's see if they get one. The 49ers have not quite done that yet . . . now let's see if they can. Should be a good one.

Marquette vs. Notre Dame = And it's pretty much the same story here, though the Irish may be in a slightly better position than is Charlotte.

Syracuse vs. Louisville = I'd expect the Orange to hold onto their #1 for another week. On the other hand, Louisville has shown up to play a time or three this season, so I'd not take it for granted.

Vanderbilt vs. South Carolina = Vandy's safely in, and are just looking to improve their seeding. But they've been a quirky team, and if the 'Cocks could beat Kentucky they are capable of beating most anybody. Might be closer than the Comms would prefer.

VCU vs. George Mason = In a just world, both these teams will receive an at-large, as they both have some good history AND both are much better than a dozen conference champs who will get automatics. But both could use this one, then will have to wait until next Sunday to see how just this world actually is.

Arizona State vs. UCLA = And speaking of justice, the Sun Devils should get an at-large also. A win over the TeddyBears may not help much, but it certainly won't hurt.

Baylor vs. Texas = Here are two pretty good teams that have both fallen upon some rough times. Both need to get a bit of balance returned before they start dancing, or either . . . or both . . . could fall on their faces.

Mississippi vs. Arkansas = And here's two who want to put that dreaded bubble on their back bumpers. Another must-win for both squads.

Virginia Tech vs. Georgia Tech = The Hokies should be OK, but the Wreck can use a boost, despite some god wins. Again, both are much better than a ton of one-and-dones, but that's not the way it works . . . sadly.

Tennessee vs. Mississippi State = The Vols are another team looking to earn a higher seed. MS is also a probable at-large, yet they have some "bigger" problems to distract them, what with one of their players, Sidney, being in hot water with the NCAA . . . and out 11K, I understand. We'll have to wait and see if his team is out anything else.

Duke vs. UNC = And here is the other half of the ACC regular season. It' Senior Day in Cameron, and this group of seniors will have one last chance to actually beat the Tar Heels in Durham. That's what I expect will happen . . . yet you never know when it comes to THE GAME. Bryan's already got this one chalked up, as he expects the Heels to "do what they have done all year", or some such as that. However, what the Heels have done all year is underachieve. They have the talent to take this game, and they may even find the focus needed to do so. I'd not bet on it, but I've seen it happen before . . . for both teams involved.


Now come Sunday we'll get a few conference finals in, so will get a few more teams in too. Aside from that (and many of the match-ups are TBD), we will see:

Kentucky vs. Florida = The Wildcats still have a shot of losing their #1 seed, if they drop this game to the Gators, then crap out early in the SEC tourney. Like the Dook/UNC game above, it can happen. The Gators can, on any given Sunday, beat most anybody. Again, don't bet the farm, but don't be shocked if it does occur.

Wisconsin vs. Illinois = Here are two teams neither I nor (I expect) the NCAA committee can quite figure out. I'd think they both are safely in, but pecisely where, who knows? That makes this another "must" for both.

Boston College vs. N.C. State = OK, there's absolutely nothing at all "must" about this one, but I'm certain Jerry wants to get his 'Pack out of the cellar, so I'm throwing those wild dogs of his a bone.

Michigan State vs. Michigan = Aside from the rivalry involved, this means a lot to the Spartans when it comes to their seat at the table. As for the Wolverines . . . well, a few more Ws may get them a check from the NIT.

Clemson vs. Wake Forest = In my mind, neither of these teams should be on that stinkin' bubble. But I'll admit my mind may be a bit colored here. So once again, neither can depend upon the good graces of the Selection Committee, and both of them need the win. Plan on a war here.


I'll go check scores for games in progress, and be back soon. Until then - enjoy.

No, Joe, thank you for joining in on the fun here.

Georgetown all over Cincy, and Texas A&M have control of Sooners. All others too tight or too early to call.

Finals: Georgetown 74 - Cincinnati 47. Texas A&M 69 - Oklahoma 54 = Not much of a surprise, though it's good to see the Hoyas refind some mojo, considering all their illness problems.

At the half, Memphis over Tulsa 30-19. And so far Maryland scoring at will on UVA.

Florida State 61 - Miami 60 = The SemiHoles get the win, but it should not have been this hard.

'Nova/WVA also a 1-point game with 3+ left, but that was to be expected.

'Nova/WVA going into OT. I told you both wanted this one! Speaking of OT:

Indiana 88 - Northwestern 80 (OT) = 'Way back when, the Brains of the Big Ten got some respect. Were these the Hoosiers of Bobby Knight, they wouldn't have lost any with this game. But it ain't, and they do . . . if they still had some respect to lose, that is.

Terps 38-27 over Cavs at the break.

ODU spanks Towson in Colonial tourney play, 86-66. It likely wasn't even that close.

Memphis has Tulsa by 20 midway through 2nd. It ain't over yet, but since Tulsa's only scored 28 so far it probably is anyway.

Memphis 75 - Tulsa 53 = Good showing for the Tigers, and pitiful effort by Tulsa.

A number of close contests going on, but Kansas/Missouri ain't one of them. Jayhawks have taken total control.

Maryland 74 - Virginia 68 = Terps do their part, but it was harder than they planned.

Missouri gets to within 6 of Kansas, and Louisville up 7 over Syracuse. There's time left for anything to happen.

Kansas 77 - Missouri 56 = Just a warm-up for the tourneys.

South Carolina 77 - Vanderbilt 73 = And the 'Cocks get ahold of another one.

Louisville 78 - Syracuse 68 = Who's bragging now, Vic? That #1 ain't so easy to hold onto, is it.

Richmond/Charlotte and Marquette/Notre Dame both into OT. Like I said, big games for all.

Wow! The Cards give a great send-off to their old playground today!!!

Some pretty good games today. Watching East Ill and Mercer right now in a barn-burner finish, though it looks like EI will hang on. Just waiting for MSU vs MSU for the OVC crown. Go Racers!!!!!!.

Great coverage, Poet, I enjoy this thread!

Yeah!!!! Murray State is dancing!

Refs called this game wayyy close, on both sides. I saw lots of no-calls called for fouls against both teams, where they should have let them play. Glad to see Kennedy up off the bench actually coaching for a change, and felt real good about the way they started finding ways to attack the zone in the 2nd half. Still too turnover prone, and weaker than they should be on freebies. I hope we do better than a 13th seed, but don't think they'll be that lucky.

Dook is thumping UNC.

Can't wait for the SEC and Big East tourneys next week.

Being a big UK fan, I don't give much notice to either dook or UNC, but usually always watch when they play each other. Even when either team is really down for the season and the other playing well at the same time, this is always great college b'ball. Not so much, last night. I knew UNC lost about everything after last season, but they really suck. I felt great at the beginning of this season, when the Cats beat them, but now...not much of a resume builder. It's been just a couple of years that Kansas won it all, and came back the next year with nearly all fresh talent, and they didn't suck this bad. These guys can NOT handle the ball! I'm pretty sure Murray State would beat this team 7 times out of 10.
