Week 16 - Feb 19 to 25 (games, conf standings, NET)

[BRS24]

Hey kids, I'm back from a day with some friends, wandering around Busch Gardens, watching all the Feb vaca folks wait in line for rides, while we just wandered, got our steps in, and had quite a few well needed laughs.

Here's the top 25 and friends schedule at a glance:

 

[BRS24]

Conference tourney byes still up in the air in the ACC, Pac12, Big10, WCC. Big East, Big12, and SEC still showing some interesting disparity between conference and overall records.

 

[BRS24]

For the NCAA NET (as of February 17), the top 12 conferences remain at Pac-12, Big 12, SEC, ACC, Big Ten, Big East, Ivy League, WCC, CUSA, SoCon, Summit League, AAC.

The biggest movers of the top 12 conferences (+/-5):

Does anyone know where to find individual ballots for the AP polls each week?

LSU hitting their stride at last?

49-18 over TAMU in the 3rd

Cheer up. At least there’s this:

The Atlantic Coast Conference issued a public reprimand of North Carolina women’s basketball coach Courtney Banghart for violating the ACC Sportsmanship Policy following North Carolina’s game against Duke on February 11. In addition, the league announced that an institutional fine has been...

I watched the first half and thought Duke looked pretty good. I guess I should have kept watching

Thanks but Looks like that’s just for the mens as far as I can tell.

The third quarter was their undoing. ND made some excellent adjustments and pulled away. Being able to get Brown out of the paint made a huge difference in the game.

 

[BRS24]

3Q of ND/Duke game really hurt the latter, however ND has four games remaining, with an end of season matchups vs VA Tech & Louisville. ACC standings still a little murky. Indiana still has a 3 game lead over #4 Nebraska. LSU still holding onto the 2 spot, however has a rematch @ #3 Tenn. Ole Miss holding on to the #4 slot, with remaining games vs GA, Missouri, Kentucky, and Arkansas, all of which are in the bottom half of SEC standings.

As we only have one top 25 team playing tonight, I added the two Big East games. St John's is at the 4 spot, with Marquette as a fast follow five.

Huge game at 6pm MST in the Big Sky as NAU visits EWU on Thursday to determine the regular season champ.

The game is consequential as the Jack stubbed their toe last Thursday against Sac State. With star senior Emily Rodebaugh on the sidelines in a boot the Jacks gave Sac State their first road victory of the year.

EWU has been deadly at home so this will be an uphill battle for the Jacks.

This supposedly used to work but it doesn't seem to anymore.

GM y'all. With last night's win, Marquette moves into the #4 spot, with St John's right behind, and they play again next week. Villanova at #3, however still has to play UConn & Creighton.

Right now, WV & Baylor locked into a tie in conference standings, however Baylor has already beaten WV, so h2h may come in play depending on the outcome of remaining games. A Texas win will help solidify its position in the top 4.

Ayoka with 34 pts tonight, so perhaps time for her to get back in the conversation for AA

 

[nwhoopfan]

I think UNLV must've wrapped up the Mountain West (again) tonight, if they hadn't already. Beat Wyoming in OT on the road. They only have 1 loss, 3 way for 2nd between Wyoming, New Mexico and Boise St., all w/ 5 losses.


edit--clinched a tie at worst; they have 4 games remaining, would have to lose out and one of the others win all 4 to prevent them from winning outright

 

[BRS24]

Good morning Boneyard! Texas and Baylor hold off TT and Kansas, and K State takes care of business with WV. Texas tied at the #2 spot with KSU, and Baylor outside the top 4, needing a bit of luck and some wins to get there.

For today, in the B10, OSU, Iowa, and Indiana all have 2-3 game leads over #4 Nebraska, so tonight will either solidify OSU & Iowa's spots, or mix it up a bit with a lil effect on the top 3. In the ACC, Louisville & FSU need wins to stay within striking distance of the top 4 seeds. UNC has a tough go with NCSU, VA Tech, BC and Duke remaining, Duke also has a challenge with Syracuse, NCSU, VA, and Duke. Both of them need some wins to stay secure in the middle (1 bye) section of ACC, and an outside chance to get into the top 4. The UCLA/Utah matchup will break their tie, however the winner will still be on the outside of the top 4 looking in, however tomorrow's CO/USC game also looms large for the final spot in the top 4.

South Carolina will win the SEC regular season title with a win against Alabama tonight! We only need to win one of our remaining four games to lock it up (or LSU needs to lose one more game).

@BRS24 is slipping... no mention of the big ACC game in Pittsburgh tonight?

Anyway, an upset is brewing

Can Pitt do it, and give Wake their first conference win of the year?

Thought you’d be talking about a different upset brewing

Well you know how we (Duke) roll.
