Cincy won at TTU.

Buzz: "I'm not supposed to talk about anything legal but he's innocent, eff the law"

[Herman Cain]

Duke not competitive with UNC.

That is helpful to MU's Cause

[mugrad_89]

Scheyer has shown he can recruit off the Duke mystic, but I'm still not convinced he's a good coach.

Time for another Jeff Goodman article.  👀

The rankings will be interesting on Mon
3,4,5,6,7,10,13 and 15 all lost.  And 12 is down double digits early.

It was a great week to get 2 wins.

This could get really ugly in Waco if Iowa St. wins this game.  Drew ejected, then a bench tech, and the crowd is in full meltdown mode.

Insane ending.

Absolutely nuts.

Where will MU land in the t-25?

[BM1090]

Where will MU land in the t-25?

My guess is 7. Pass Wisconsin and Duke.

Tennessee and UNC had 1-1 weeks but also had good wins. Houston likely doesn't get penalized for losing to KU on the road. But we should get closer to Houston, Tennessee and UNC from in points.

I've lost count of how many games the officials have lost control of today.  Gonzaga/St Mary's is the cherry on top.

I would say they lost control in the Gonzaga game. Just idiot fans throwing things onto the court.

I have to laugh at this take. Duke is absolute trash. The ACC might be the worst of the power 5 conferences and to solidify the 4th one seed with a home win over Duke after losing to 10-11 Tech is laughable.

Joe Lunardi's bracket impact: North Carolina strongly affirmed its No. 1 seed status. The Tar Heels remain fourth among those on the top line of the projected bracket, but took a big step toward collecting what would be the ACC's first 1-seed in five years. Perhaps more importantly, it's now quite likely Carolina will open its NCAA tournament run-regardless of seed-in nearby Charlotte. This huge in-state advantage has been enjoyed frequently by ACC teams over the years. Duke, on the other hand, continues to live in the 3/4 seed range, but could obviously improve on that with a victory in the teams' rematch next month.

Exactly Howard.  This is a ridiculous take.  The ACC may not be as good as the Mountain West. 

[Dish]

Maybe he meant that's the kind of loss that will get him fired?

Indeed, you got what I was getting at.

[brewcity77]

I have to compare closer, but I think Kansas might've skipped ahead of UNC yesterday. Only team with two wins over clear 1-seeds.

I do think Carolina has a legit case for a 1 seed, but to your point, basing it off a win over an average Duke team is laughable.

[MuggsyB]

I'm sorry but there's no way I can root for Wisconsin in this game. 

[romey]

Agreed.  I'd like to solidify our Tourney seed ahead of them and a Purdue win helps.

Badgers are dominating Purdue
