Week of 3/11/24 Games (Conference Tournaments)

[Karmacop]

Marquette taking PeeCee behind the woodshed.

 

[storrsroars]

If Pitt was playing their C game, they would have been down 20 at halftime.

As my domestic situation demands I watch Pitt games, I assure you they can play much better than they are tonight.

 

[gsmooth]

Quinnipiac loses.

What is left for CT teams making the tourney? Yale? Is that it other than UConn?

Fairfield on the other MAAC semifinal. And yes Yale

Reed Sheppard missed a good look from 3, I'm shocked

 

[gsmooth]

Providence looks like they shot their was last night vs Creighton. Seton Hall shittttimf bricks with North Texas tying Florida Atlantic

Yeah that never happens

 

[storrsroars]

Well, at least bettors who had Pitt +7.5 and the under cleaned up.

Once Pitt got it back to 3 down under 3 mins left, they reverted back to the hero ball that cost them in Dec/early Jan.

Providence looks like they shot their was last night vs Creighton. Seton Hall shittttimf bricks with North Texas tying Florida Atlantic

Or someone just reminded them that they're Providence

 

[superjohn]

Damn heartbreak. Saint Peters wins at buzzer over Quinnipiac

That sucked. My friend is Tom Pecora's brother in law, he drove down to AC from Portland, Maine this morning. Crummy ending to a special season for Pecora and Quinnipiac.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Their game plan is to let the other team score so much that they get tired out

I have seen better defense in my middle-aged pickup game at the Y.

I honestly can't even figure out what Kentucky is trying to do on defense on some possessions. The center is standing under the basket, the guards are 10 feet apart so pretty much anyone decent can split them. If a guard can't consistently get to the high post off the dribble against Kentucky, he is not high major material.

Apparently FOX and FS1 have decided to shelve the MSG Vertigo Drone Cam today? Makes me nauseous every time they use that thing.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

A&M probably moves onto the right side of the bubble with this win.

Providence should be in. Four wins (Wisconsin, Marquette, Creighton, Creighton) that are better than any other bubble teams four best wins.

Seton Hall is in trouble.

I know a lot of the bracketologists have Northwestern in the dance, but their resume looks a lot like Seton Hall's. A couple of really good wins (Purdue, Illinois) and not much else.

Oklahoma has two wins over teams that are safely in the field. I think they should be out.

Pitt feels like the marginal team in the dance.

 

[auror]

Pitt and Ohio St losing is good, but Texas A&M beating Kentucky is a disaster for Providence, St Johns, and Seton Hall.

 

[auror]

Oklahoma has two wins over teams that are safely in the field. I think they should be out.

St. John's doesn't want the committee to go down this road of logic. They only have 1 for sure (2 if Seton Hall makes it).

 

[superjohn]

St. John's doesn't want the committee to go down this road of logic. They only have 1 for sure (2 if Seton Hall makes it).

They've looked good closing out the season and the Pitino factor.

They're in.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

St. John's doesn't want the committee to go down this road of logic. They only have 1 for sure (2 if Seton Hall makes it).

The only argument for Oklahoma is its NET, but St. Johns NET is a lot better.

 

[auror]

So many games on right now. It's like NCAA tournament on steroids.

Oregon is beating Arizona.
Baylor - Iowa State
Utah St - SDSU
Providence - Marquette
Florida - Alabama
Indiana - Nebraska
NC State - Virginia

Grand Canyon is losing at halftime. I've got a key bet on UC Irvine, too. Some locals might be interested in Fairfield in their semis.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Refs need to get this Marquette/Providence game under control. It has been getting really physical in the second half.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

A lot of Providence flopping is getting rewarded by the referees.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Arizona about to go down? Does anyone want the last #1 seed? Does UNC get it by default?

 

[superjohn]

Arizona about to go down? Does anyone want the last #1 seed? Does UNC get it by default?

UNC is the last #1.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Arizona about to go down? Does anyone want the last #1 seed? Does UNC get it by default?

I always thought it should have been UNC. They aren't a great team, but they are better, and have a better resume, than Tennessee and Arizona.

 

[auror]

Arizona about to go down? Does anyone want the last #1 seed? Does UNC get it by default?

UNC was only behind Arizona at #5 in the committee bracket reveal they did. They haven't lost since then. Tennessee has lost twice and Arizona has lost 3 times. At this point, it's extremely likely It'll be UNC as the 4th 1.

Vertigo Cam has not been retired. I’ll keep the Dramamine handy

 

[nelsonmuntz]

A lot of Providence flopping is getting rewarded by the referees.

PC's Barron just dove at the Marquette guy's knees. Time to start handing out flagrant fouls before someone gets hurt.
