never seen a team like Kansas St under Tang.

12-0 in overtime these 2 years
31-21 in regulation these 2 years

just crazy.

Does Florida State still have that OT streak?

yes, look like 14 in a row. what is different about that compared to Kansas St is their 14 wins are over a 8 year period. Compared to 12 in a 60 game period.

good to see Pitt losing tonight.

[hoops22]

Yep, and for more than one reason.

[stever20]

not on the bubble but Kansas loses at home to BYU. Might help Marquette and Creighton out trying to get a high seed.

I'm still surprised the league is in such a precarious position for the number of bids this year. After the OOC we seemed to be in reasonably good shape, there were a number of brackets that had us getting 6 or 7 in. Georgetown and DePaul did their part by rolling over and playing dead for everyone. Yet here we are with only three teams that are locks. I suppose we'll get a couple more, but it's totally up in the air who those will be. One thing for certain the BET will be make or break time for a number of teams. Should make for a fun tournament.

The problem was some of the teams didn't do great OOC. Nova was only 7-4 with 0-3 Big 5. If they go 2-1 even in the big 5, they're in right now pretty easily. Xavier should be closer but they lost 5 games OOC. Then Butler who did do well OOC is only 7-10 right now in league play. Your St John's would be looking better had they just beaten Michigan or Boston College right now I think.

Bad bad night for the ACC tonight with Wake Forest also going down.
