[Uncle Rico]

Oregon beats Zona

[Herman Cain]

Continue to think Carolina is going to go a long way in the tournament

[MuggsyB]

Do we want Baylor or Iowa St.?

Do we want Baylor or Iowa St.?

Nope.

[StillAWarrior]

Do we want Baylor or Iowa St.?

Does it matter at this point? At all? Aren’t we pretty securely ahead of both teams?

Root for whoever you want to root for.

I suppose.  Good day for MU seed wise. 

[HowardsWorld]

North Carolina is probably getting the 1 seed out west now with Zona losing to Oregon. Zona will be the 2 out west.

I have to admit that after all the reading I did about this the last couple days, I'd feel more comfortable if Baylor wins that game. But I do like to think you're right about us having clinched the 2 and Indy.

iowa St.has impressed me.   T.J could be COY.

Baylor might be the 3 seed in MU’s region.

Who saw Virginia’s colossal choke in the last minute of regulation against NC State?

Missed FTs, fouling a 3 point shooter, and declining to foul after missing a FT with a 3 point lead with 5 seconds left opened the door for NC State to send the game to OT with a desperation banked in 3. Virginia even had fouls to give.

That's fine.  Unless Duke is a possibility. 

[MU82]

I'm counting on having to play real good teams for each of our last 5 wins in the NCAA Tournament.

Very poor coaching from Bennett not fouling after the last missed FT.

Games that will help determine Marquette’s seeding and pod assignment:

Wisconsin vs. Purdue: A win by either team will not help Marquette’s cause

Nebraska vs. Illinois:  Need Illinois to win

Marquette vs. UConn: A Marquette loss will hurt the Marquette cause

[Uncle Rico]

Ivy League stunner:

Brown up 20 with 15 minutes left against Princeton.  Princeton is 150 spots better in KenPom.  Colossal upset.

Lucky for them, the school will have to close down soon anyway

[Uncle Rico]

Princeton has cut it to 9 with 4 and a half left.

Vermont up 5 on Lowell with 2:30 left.

[Plaque Lives Matter!]

Gotta like our odds to come out ahead

[Uncle Rico]

Expect the Badgers to dominate this game against Purdue.  Gard gets it done in March and they are peaking at the right time.  Think Crowl goes 30-15 and Klesmit drops 25

[Uncle Rico]

Congrats to the Catamounts of Vermont.  3 straight dances.  Good record, not as good as previous iterations but still a great season

[Uncle Rico]

And Brown knocks off Princeton.  Stunner in the soon to defunct Ivy League

Edey getting 2 fouls in 2 mins helps them.

[HowardsWorld]

Zach Edey with 2 fouls in the first 5 minutes is something I never thought I would see.

Zach Edey with 2 fouls in the first 5 minutes is something I never thought I would see.

One was a double technical on him and Crowl after Crowl gave him two elbows after the play.

Thanks, not watching just saw the box score.
