Chaminade up 5 at half

[larrym]

41 - 36.  Will be interesting to see if they can hold on.

They might get gassed. They were in the 2nd half with MU. If I were Chaminade's coach, I'll periodically take TOs just to give them a break.

Sorry, I should know -- but they are playing LSU? Thanks for the update.

So if Chaminade beats LSU does that help our RPI? 

Seriously though, it will make me feel a little better about yesterday's game even though LSU is down this year. (that and a win over Okstate)

[larrym]

Yup, they're playing LSU.  Now with 12:08 left LSU is up 3.

Wow, that must've been an 8 AM or 8:30 AM start!  Why on Earth are they playing that early?  I thought 9:30 AM yesterday was bad.

It puts the semi final games at 6 and 830 CST rather than having the last one at 10 cst last night

LSU up 71-65 with 4:51 minutes left.

I know you were joking, but we really want LSU to win.  They are part of Oklahoma State's RPI, so therefore the better they do now, the better for us.

Sure Chaminade doesn't count for them (or us), but if they play a better opponent in the next round, then their RPI goes up.

LSU wins by 8, 78-72.  Chaminade got as close as 2 with 0:41 left.  From there they missed and LSU hit their foul shots.

Larry, Buddy,
I sure hope you didn't study Math at Marquette:
78-72 = 6

[larrym]

Good point!  In my defense, the ESPN GameCast made it seem more like an 8 point win.

78-72

[77ncaachamps]

Yes.

Yes, they did.
