Syracuse had the ball inbounding under the hoop and threw it out of bounds which led to a unc 3 pointer and eventually overtime.


I don't think Swider would have left if he had known Jay would be running a 6 man rotation. We could have used him for depth, but it is what it is.

Rooting for Baylor, KSU, and SDSU in their games.

The SDSU/Wyoming game kind of interesting. I get what you're saying, but I think for Xavier and Creighton having a stronger SDSU isn't such a good thing at all. Don't think Wyoming will catch up with UConn at all and probably not even Marquette.

Funny I’m rooting for Wyoming as the Aztecs are right on the bubble with the Jays.

Probably safer this way, but I'll be rooting for the Jays to win one more to completely get off the bubble.

They could catch Seton Hall. I know 7-10 seeds feel samey, but a better shot at winning that first game is something to hope for.

I would immediately take first four in Dayton if you offered it. Two tough games for us without our starting PG is a lot to ask, I’m afraid.

Last night's results were pretty devastating for teams around the cutoff line, and may have shut out MVC and CUSA from stealing bids.

I can't help but notice that ACC and B10 teams are occupying big chunks of space above the cutoff line. :lol:

I see the Big Ten falling on its face again this year in the big dance. Additionally, I don't get how all of Notre Dame/Miami/Wake/Carolina have managed to avoid the Last 4 In/First 4 Out projections. Should be a 4 bid league, max. And that's being generous.

Some of ACC is the fact that 5 teams are going to wind up with at least 13 conference wins which helps out a lot. All 5 have 20+ wins already. Not having double round robin has it's benefits. You can have 5 teams with at least 13 conference wins. With 2 others at 12 conference wins in Virginia and Virginia Tech.

UNC and WF has 1 Q1 win each, both of them won @VT. I doubt they'd get in with 0 Q1 wins... but the ACC is not the only conference benefiting from inflated NET ranked teams.
