Conference tournament thread. Because separate threads suck. (1 Viewer)

Ohio st and Michigan survive.

I don't think Nebraska makes it, but they would have been a tough matchup for a mid seed.

 
I'm almost embarrassed at how little work I've gotten done today.

Alright, quitting time right after this unc game

Well, ratfart.

Missed Embiid out there, but Iowa State is a good team and Fred Hoiberg is a great coach - he's the only Big XII coach who consistently outcoaches Self.

I guess the KU fans who preferred the 2-seed in Wichita's bracket to the 1-seed in the East are getting what they want, but damn, what a dicey thing to wish for.

While not an official guideline, I doubt the TSC is going to put a regular-season rematch 1-2 in the same region if there are other options.

Besides, it's not like they just lost to Seton Hall or NC State. Iowa State is RPI 10 and on track for a 3-seed.

But TSC has been completely tied to location so if Michigan and Wisconsin play in B1G final, loser might be ahead of KU and winner will definitely be ahead of them. If winner doesn't get a 1, they'll get the MW.

 
Beautiful. UConn/L'Ville tomorrow night. UConn just got trounced on the road by Louisville. Will take a major upset to beat them.

Would really liked to have seen Nebraska v Michigan tomorrow. I think that would have been a helluva game.

Bucky v Sparty should be a good one per usual.

 
Every year with Wisconsin there's a point where I start to believe in them and soon as I do they fall on their faces.

I think this team is the best they've been in years so I wouldn't be surprised if they lost in round 1.

After looking it all over again this morning, I don't think KU will be a 2-seed at all. They're a 1-seed with Embiid, but a 4- or 5-seed without him. I think the TSC will split the difference and make them a 3.

Arizona, Florida, and Wichita State seem to have 1s locked up, and IMO we're down to eight candidates for the last 1 and the four 2s: Wisconsin, Michigan, Duke, Virginia, Louisville, Creighton, Villanova, and Iowa State.

IMO, San Diego State's conference tournament isn't deep enough to give them a last push for the 2-seed, so the only uncertainty left for them is if they will be the 3- or 4-seed in the West.

 
@edsbs: Scottie Wilbekin dribbles the shot clock down to one, punts ball into rafters, points and nods at a horrified Will Muschamp.

:lmao:

 
Aaron Craft still has eligibility left? Damn.

I remember seeing him play with Jim Jackson and Lawrence Funderburke against the Fab Five.

Not disappointed to see him lose the handle on that potential game-tying three at the buzzer.

 
Boy, if they're going to officiate like this, UConn has no chance. That's the last I'll say about the refs, but this is bad.

I hope you're wrong, but I was also thinking Nebraska needed to win 1 in the conference tournament. :cry:

 
Is the officiating always this bad in college hoops? Don't watch that much but watched a ton of the acc tourney, it was bad, and some of the no calls at the end of this UCLA Zona game is atrocious.

 
Hail to the Buff,
Hail to the Blue,
Hail to the Buff and Blue!
All our lives we'll be proud to say,
I hail from GW!

Well we lost to to VCU in the A-10 (or how ever many there is in that conference), but this article from ESPN says important stuff:

The Colonials are out, but the season isn't over. They should be getting a spot in the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2007.

When your school doesn't have football, and their basketball usually isn't very good, this is exciting!!!

Fellow GW alum, and GW season ticket holder here. Great to see them competitive again. Not sure they are poised for a tourney run, but will be good to see them in the tourney again.

 
Good for Ed Cooley. Homegrown Providence kid delivers as a head coach. Quite a story.

Really wish BC hired him instead.

McDermott had no help. 26-10 FTA difference didn't help either.

ETA: I don't see Creighton lasting long in the tournament. Let McDermott get his, but the other's can be shut down.

I think Nebraska's in even with the B1G tourney loss. Had a solid season and wins over bigger name programs.

 
UCLA has been so up and down this year, but this was a great ending, and now they have momentum. Who knows? Maybe they can make a run...

I don't think Wisconsin was ever in serious consideration for a 1. Right now it is between Michigan, Virginia and Louisville. I think they will get it right and give it to Louisville. I hope Michigan gets the #2 opposite Wichita State or even Arizona, but I think they will pair Michigan with Louisville which will suck.

It will be near impossible for Michigan to get Louisville as their 1 seed. Much more likely to get them as your 3 seed. But beyond that, last 1 seed is in the East. Nova or ACC champ gets that and Michigan gets the MW assuming Michigan isn't the last one which is most likely.

That was a hell of a game. Probably the highest level of ball all weekend.

McDermott is real. PC came back with answer after answer. Other than the FTs...the big guys 16 footer following McDermott 2nd 3pt was super-clutch. "Counter-Onions" said Raft.

 
Don't know what the call was for, but loved seeing Coach K get teed up. His behavior and constant berating of officials is embarrassing.
