This is the last week of regular season play for most and some conference tournaments kick off this week.

Hopefully Iowa doesn't break out of their slump til after the Michigan game Saturday, I still think UM is iffy to make it but winning and joining the 11 conference win club would be huge.

Time for Carolina to prove something.

...if I may make a suggestion, Roy: make your guards get the ball to Brice.

Re: 2/29-3/6 Game Duscussion Thread

Oh good grief, Carolina. You'd better not lose this game.

Re: 2/29-3/6 Game Duscussion Thread

Boy...when Brice gets the ball, he goes to the cup immediately. Don't really blame him though as they put him as a focal point even though he's shooting/playing tremendously.

Texas might not score this half.

OK, I will now acknowledge that Michigan is on the bubble.

Not that they'll do anything if they make it anyway - without LeVert, they fit in much better in the NIT.

Trying to look on the bright side I'll say at least the ball movement is better without him lol

That's all I got, tough blow

Well, it's not like he's been playing. The team is what it is at this point. They don't do anything out of the ordinary. Two decent wins, no horrible losses.

The Big Ten as a whole is a big ball of meh this season. College ball as a whole is like that this year actually. Which, ironically, should make the tournament filled with interesting, close games.

Re: 2/29-3/6 Game Duscussion Thread

I think it would take a miracle for UVA to win even a share of the ACC, so I don't believe they deserve 1 seed at all.

I guess if you have them winning the conference tournament, then a 1 seed isn't as bad, but up to this point they aren't a 1 seed imo.

I'm also glad you put Texas at an 8. I can't believe they're getting so much hype as a potential 5 seed. Blows my mind. They'd be the most overrated 5 seed since Miami back in 2000 or 2001.

Re: 2/29-3/6 Game Duscussion Thread

Yeah, that's just who I have getting auto bids. It's just a guessing game.

After last night, I'd swap Indiana and Purdue, Wisconsin and Texas A&M, and Iowa and Duke. Florida is out unless they win their tournament.

How could you possibly put Purdue as a higher seed than Indiana?
Makes no sense at all. Indiana killed Purdue head to head and is going to finish 3 and possibly 4 games up on Purdue in the BIG10.
Purdue also lost to the only out of conference rank team they played.

Sorry I just saw you last post!!!
The original post threw me in such a hissy that I stopped reading this thread and had to post! lol

Re: 2/29-3/6 Game Duscussion Thread

Big game tonight between Note Dame and Miami. Miami''s just playing for the regular season title at this point as they've already clinched a double bye and even a loss probably keeps them at 2 or 3 seed at worst. Notre Dame is a veteran team that really needs this win. It could get them a double bye as well and really get them a better seeding in the big dance.

I expect a hard fought game and hope Note Dame is inconsistent from 3 because if they're on from behind the arc, I'm afraid they take it.
