He's so hot right now.

You are quite the you-googly reader.

Is there a higher likelihood Marquette may play at a certain time of day in the NCAAs or is it random? I may have to work both days of the first round without any access to watching so I'm hoping they may play in the evening

Sites are already set by date but game times are not.

I picked up a Saturday afternoon work responsibility after seeing that it was a pretty good bet MU goes to Columbus.  But there's no way to predict tip times

Bill Self will miss today’s game. I’ve heard from a friend in Kansas that he had a heart attack.

If true I hope he is OK. Sports are great, but health is everything.

Trying to get the sympathy vote for Coach of the Year

But more seriously I hope he's okay

I truly hope he's okay. But it does kinda feel like the karma gods came down and touched Self.

When the Karma gods think about him they touch their Self

[GoldenEagles03]

Clemson adds a Q1 win in a punishing of NC State.

Are they gonna squeak themselves into the conversation?

4-3 in Q1.

LOL

Doesn't seem wrong Self and Wright both have 2 NCs? In no world is Self in the same class as Wright.

They jumped the other bubble teams

TCU up double d's on KSU.  They will not be a 6 if they win this game. 

[wadesworld]

KSU should not be ahead of MU.

TCU win is perfect for us.

Eliminates any chance they are worse than a 5 seed(so we avoid them)

Also keeps Kstate behind us forsure.

[WhiteTrash]

Conference tournaments no matta.

Agreed.  Some might not be paying attention but I think this helps us tremendously.  If they win I don't think we can fall from a #3. 

[CountryRoads]

I’ve watched basketball all day today and the games have been fantastic.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Agreed.  Some might not be paying attention but I think this helps us tremendously.  If they win I don't think we can fall from a #3.

I don’t think there was any chance of us falling to a 4.

[PGsHeroes32]

I don’t think there was any chance of us falling to a 4.

Agreed.

Kstate losing just helps us stay ahead of them for S curve purposes and the outside shot that we both run table to compete for a 2.

TCU win was the bigger one. Glad to have zero doubt that they are not gonna be on the 6 line. Good ass team.

[BM1090]

Agreed. They are legit and also a really bad matchup. If we meet them in the E8, so be it but not a moment sooner.

[MuggsyB]

I know it doesn't make a huge difference but I see no way we do not get a #2 if we win the BEast tournament. I'm not so sure we don't get it if we win tonight.  You have Houston, Kansas, UCLA, Bama, and now Texas that we're not going to pass.  Most assume Purdue also can't drop to a #3.  So let's say there are two spots open at the #2.  There's Zona, Gonzaga, MU, and maybe Baylor and Tennessee?  We're right there.  A win tonight may very well be enough.

Purdue is still a 1 seed likely, nowhere close to a 3 seed. Baylor and Arizona are the bottom 2s. Gonzaga may be ahead of us now

TAMU,

Does the seeding always follow the S-Curve exactly?  I would be very surprised Baylor could be ahead of us if we win tonight.  As for Purdue ?  They have looked vulnerable and lost a lot of games down the stretch.  Most brackets have them as a #2 right now and if they lose today there is no chance they'll be a number 1.   I don't see them falling past a #2 but there are still two spots available.
