College basketball 2009-10 running thread No. 1

And now that they've thrown this one away, I don't think they get in. Then again, at this point the final 3-4 teams that get in will be ones that haven't played well at the end of the year as that sums up a good number of the teams on the bubble right now.

 

So you honestly think that three C-USA teams would be a reasonable outcome (possibly four if Houston beats UTEP)?

 

Houston would certainly negate Memphis (which I don't endorse, but acknowledge they are on the radar)
UAB has played well this year and UTEP is in.
Three at the most, two probably.
UAB and UTEP deserve bids, I think

SEC UPDATE: MSU 60, Fla. 53 with 7 mins left.
EDIT: MSU 71 Fla. 68 / :26 left

EDIT: MSU holds on to win by about 8

 

A great win (Butler) and solid win (Cincinnati) early, but their down-the-stretch was losses and meh wins. I guess it's still possible, given how slippery the bubble is this season, but I think they need some help. Memphis has nothing but the 23 in the W column, because most of those came against crap. So UAB above them for sure.

 

Congrats to Georgia Tech and San Diego State for doing what other bubble teams haven't been able to do this week, get signature wins.

 

Looks like Minnesota's going to OT with Sparty. Might have won if it could have scored more than 2 points in the final 6:21.

 

Team Tubby pulling away in OT.

N.C. State three minutes and change from giving us an ACC Semifinal Saturday featuring the Nos. 11 and 12 seeds.

 

Another tourney tank job for Sparty. They ought to make Izzo buy a ticket to the Big Ten tourney.

 

Evidently, he yelled at Michigan's coach for not voting Evan Turner player of the year in the Big 10.

 

I think he was yelling at the official that the kid got the shot off before the clock hit :00.

 

That's Rick Stansbury on-the-floor coaching at its best. When they hit oh, 12 of the 35, then he looks like a genius

 

I thought my ears heard the same thing.
