Non-MVC Conference Tournament Musings

Kentucky!!!! Pretty dam good. Dont see them losing again. Hope the Shockers are in any other bracket come Sunday nite.

3 point win over an imploding Florida team isn't very impressive.

Too many threads talking about seedings so don't really know where to put this. Just saw that "Insider College Basketball" has Creighton as a No. 5 seed and WSU as a No. 6.

Pat Knight about to win his conference tournament at Lamar.

Everyone who railed on him for that rant looking pretty dumb.

Happy for Pat Knight.

Random thoughts based on recent posts.

Cal is in, and they deserve to be so.
Washington is as bubblicious as they come right now.
Drexel is also a very close call.
Nevada is definitely out.
Southern Miss is definitely in.
WSU looks extremely locked into a 5 seed now. I really don't see how any other seed makes sense.

Colorado leading Arizona 30-28 at halftime.

FSU knocked off Duke >=)

I still think Duke is very over-rated. They're a streaky team that relies on the 3 and any team that plays good perimeter defense, or gets lucky and has the Duke shooters go cold, can upset them in the tournament. They're at a big risk for being upset early on.

Would love to see the Shockers play them, but I think WSU has a better shot at making the Elite 8 than Duke does.

@Jamar Howard 4 President:, why is it Miss St is "in"?

Colorado and Arizona both look atrocious. The Buffs are completely out of gas (they've airballed 3 out of their last 5 threes), and Arizona can't hit the ocean from outside of five feet.

CU leading 50-45 with a minute and a half to go. Tad Boyle's crew hasn't scored for seven minutes. Arizona has seven points during that stretch.

Well...Duke lost in the ACC semi's to FSU. I think that Duke stil holds on to a #2 seed..

Duke is still a good team. Duke beat out of conference: Kansas, Michigan State, Colorado State, Tennessee, Belmont, Washington, Michigan, Davidson. Those are some quality wins.

[GoShockers89]

And Colorado's first field goal in eight+ minutes is one of the best dunks i've seen all year. Whoa.

Wins over Vanderbilt (5 seed?), Alabama (9/10 seed?), and West Virginia (10 seed?) are a better trio than anything teams like Drexel, NC State, or Miami have on their resumes. 11 losses and an RPI in the low 70s isn't so favorable. Honestly, I'm having a hard time finishing my bracketology around the bubble. 6-8 teams fighting for 3-4 spots and it is hard to choose.

Colorado escapes, 53-51.

Congrats to Coach Boyle. Should at least give us a minimal boost if we're teetering on a seeding line tomorrow.

I don't know JH4P...

Miami has wins over a probable #2 seed (Duke), a #4 seed (FSU) ...they don't have a trio, but those two aren't bad...

Add losing 6 of last 8, including 1st round loss to Georgia, a loss to Georgia before that, and loss to Auburn. In their conference split schedule, did not play any of the top four conference record teams but once and had a OOC SOS near 190. 4 point win over Alabama at home countered by 17 point loss on the road. Sorry, weak.
