How in the hell does IU have 4 timeouts still with 1 minute left, down 6? Is Roy Williams their coach now?

They only down 3 now

How's that an and one?

Minnesota definitely paid the refs.

Wow! buried it

Indiana is making it interesting.

I hear the stupid "overrated" chant.

GTFO SHEhe.

Zeller with a flop.

That was Sheehey.

Go Go Gophers!

Hmm

Big three pointer for IU...not over yet. MN has had trouble getting the ball inbounds.

Damn, that dude shot that from Iowa.

MN gets one of two...four point lead, three seconds left...all MN has to do is not foul at this point.

Huge win for the Gophers, they started the season hot, but had cooled off significantly in the last few weeks. This win should get them in the tourney.

Indiana Avenue is going to take it all this year

Gophers should be in it now.

I think so. Biggest win for them since making the final four in 97. They had not beaten a #1 ranked team since 1989. Biggest win of the Tubby Smith era.

NICE! Both the schools who take from my paycheck monthly with big wins! #GOPHERS #JAYHAWKS

Did you not pay back your student loans when you went to Minnesota? Or are you paying some sort of income tax?

I will be paying loans back to both schools for the next few years.... :banghead:

I really love Tennessee's court and colors.

Probably because I ****ing love orange creamsicles.

Their orange is ****ing ugly. :D


However, their arena is very nice. I've been there a couple of times.

Creamsicles, dude.

If you don't like those, you're not awesome. Therefore that makes you a liar!

See, the problem with Tennessee is that they suck.

Yeah, not an and one. How?

Tennessee has a real life hobo on their team.

Nebraska losing by 20 at half to Wisconsin. Oh, what a joy watching that game must be. LMAO

Has to suck being a Nebraska fan in general.

****ing pathetic performance for the third straight road Tuesday game. JFC - so damn frustrating. Goodbye #1 seed.

Thankfully Yeguete and Frazier are back on Saturday.

Tennessee still sucks, BTW. I don't understand how Florida isn't scoring on them.

We always struggle @ Tennessee - we've lost 8 out of the past 10 there. So there's that, piss poor shooting, and a undermanned team.

Another injury.... ****ing hell.

The SEC is just soft as hell this year. What a putrid shooting display.

What a terrible ****ing call.

Terrible ****ing game. Rocky top can suck my dick.

Need to get healthy & Billy has a lot of work to do over the next few weeks.

Well...that's just a horrible loss. No way to sugar coat it. I never thought I'd say this three weeks ago, but KU could very well be a #1 seed again.

Yeah.

Real crazy KU has an outside shot at a #1 seed.

But, I think I would rather be the #1 overall #2 seed.

March can't get here ****ing soon enough.

I don't know that it's 'horrible'. It's definitely not a good loss, but that's UT's 6th win in a row and Florida was down to 6 regular players on the road where they never win. Then our two seniors shit the bed.

I'd be very happy being the #2 seed in whichever bracket Duke is the #1 seed.

Tennessee isn't a good basketball team. Elite teams shouldn't lose like that to them (and that goes for KU losing to TCU too or any of the other shitty losses that have occurred this year).

I wouldn't even call it an outside shot at this point. They're probably there right now. They have a better resume than teams like Florida, MSU, Mich, and Miami. And I still kind of doubt they'll give Zaga a #1 (though if teams keep losing like this, they'll have to).

Zags are frauds!

Really?

This is one of the years where I actually think they're legit and worthy of their ranking.

Nah, they aren't frauds. But they really don't have the resume of a traditional #1 seed due to the conference they play in.

Lol

That's just it - there aren't any elite teams this year. And, FTR, losing @ TCU is MUCH MUCH worse than losing @Tenn

Losses (RPI):
Florida - @Arkansas (77), @Tenn (52)
Duke - @Maryland (67)
Miami - Indiana State (59), @FGCU (111), @Wake Forest (146)
New Mexico - South Dakota State (79)
Kansas - @TCU (226)
Louisville - @Villanova (55)
Georgetown - @USF (129)
Syracuse - @Villanova (55)
Arizona - @Oregon (49), UCLA (42), Cal (43)

Indiana, Michigan, Michigan State, Gonzaga haven't lost to any >50 RPI teams.

Different levels of shit maybe, but still shit all the same. I had put Florida in the true elite category, but it has become quite clear to me that they're not. The only teams who might qualify are Indiana and Duke with Kelly.

Florida definitely hasn't looked elite for a month or more - but when they were at full strength, to me, they were the #1 team in the country. Hopefully once Yeguete returns and if Frazier is healthy, they'll start clicking again.

Indiana is damn good and if you look at Michigan's resume it's pretty impressive.

I'm not scurr'd of duke.

Michigan hasn't beaten enough good teams to consider them elite. The fact that they've lost every big road game they've played isn't a good sign.

You should be. With a healthy Kelly, they're a much more complete team and probably the best in the country.

Personally, I still think UF will be my pick to win it all.

I like Indiana, but Zeller looked pretty soft against a pretty physical frontcourt.

What a crazy year.

As of today who is everyone's final four?

Indiana, Gonzaga, Kansas, and Duke (assuming Kelly is in full health when he returns).

I gotta go with Zags, Indiana, Florida....then I really don't know.

Depends upon seeds and regions of course, but: Indiana, Florida, Michigan, Michigan St

Yeah, I don't see that many B10 teams in the final four.

I don't either, but I don't see Kansas, Gonzaga, Miami, or Duke getting there. I can def. see 2 B10 teams there. Like I said, a lot depends upon the regions.

If Elijah can maintain the level of ball he has been playing lately KU has a real good shot.

I agree about the seeding. But, I mostly just brought it up for discussion purposes and to avoid all of the Alex Smith threads.

Kansas
Michigan
Indiana
Florida

KU is a better team than they were last year and they made it last year. And it's not like anybody else is really separating themselves to make me think KU is inferior to anybody. So I figure why not?

Of course, it's always with the caveat that the entire thing is largely a crapshoot that depends on the draw. Anything can happen, especially this year.

I can't wait for the chaos that is coming in March. I could see this being a year where not a single #1 seed makes it. The season has been nuts, every week it seem multiple top teams are going down.

I don't doubt that KU has the capability of making it all the way. Especially since they're paying off all the referees.

I choose not to pick them because if I do and they don't make it that far -- I cry myself to sleep.

It really makes no sense whatso****ingever. But, that's how I am.

Michigan has allowed 76 points to Penn State (winless in the B10) so far and is down by 2 with three minutes left. Whatever happens here, those picking them may want to revise their picks, they play no defense.

Season ending losses don't feel good no matter what your expectations are.

Penn State beats Michigan.

Looks like UConn and Georgetown are going to OT.

So much for Michigan not having a bad loss, eh? LMAO

They can't play on the road at all.

Porter comes through in the clutch again. The hype for Georgetown is growing (and it's rather deserving too). Still not the #1 seed that some are making them out to be, though.

Final Four: Kansas, Indiana, Michigan State, Big East tourney winner(rode this the last two years)

Prior to tonight Penn State's best win would have been probably Bucknell.
College hoops really is fun on nights like this.
Never saw that coming.

I love you....and reps.

UVA is playing duke tough right now. Neither team is shooting particularly well.

Duke won't win this game. Not good enough to win on the road against a team of Virginia's quality.

But maybe they'll surprise me.

And they didn't. Expected loss.

Teams just trying to give KU a #1 seed.

2 weeks ago I would have said no way KU gets a 1 seed.


Now...if we take care of business, we will have one locked up.

If Gonzaga isn't focused tonight, they'll lose as well. Winning at BYU isn't easy.

Oregon and Oregon State is on, Electric Yellow uniforms for the Ducks.

Everytime Dook loses, an angel gets it's wings.

Big win for Gonzaga. Further solidified my belief that they can make a long run in the tourney. Olynyk is the best offensive big in the country.

Go Gators! Beat Bama!

VCU is taking Butler out behind the shed. Halftime score of 45-21.
