They're a 13 because I really feel they're out, but didn't have a team to put in over them at the time. I think Florida beats them and knocks them out for good. I can't figure this year's bubble out to save my life.

Well, it's not impossible. I recall OU getting an at-large 13th several years ago.

How about the arse whoopin' A&M is putting on Mizzou!? The Ags hold on and they're definitely in. They're a team I hope LSU doesn't draw again.

I'll update tonight or tomorrow. Mizzou is going to get shoved to a 4. You can't play like shite in March.

Congrats to Radford, ETSU and Morehead State for earning berths in the NCAA Tournament. Morehead-Austin Peay was an excellent game, as was VMI-Radford. Was stunned at how Jacksonville got manhandled by ETSU.

One more berth on the line tomorrow in the Missouri Valley. Creighton got trashed. Not a chance for them in the at-large pool. UNI vs. Illinois State. The Redbirds felt a bit shafted last year, and they looked damn good against Creighton. I'll give them the nod tomorrow against Northern Iowa.

I got lazy (drunk) and didn't bother updating mine last night, but tonight will work. This will set us up for Championship Week. With no games tomorrow, there is a lull in the action to prepare us for the plethora (yes, the plethora) of great action coming up.

Right now, you have 3 top seeds coming from the Big East. In order, they are: Pittsburgh, UConn, North Carolina, Louisville. Oklahoma is the next candidate, with Memphis just behind them.

Creighton got blasted. The end.

Ok. I lied. There a bunch of games tomorrow. And quite important ones.

The CAA, MAAC, SoCon and WCC will have their championship games somewhere on the family of networks.

I would love to be a 6 seed. Avoid a 1 until at least the Elite Eight...and most power big men`!

Barring a run in the tourney, I think a 6 is pretty much a lock. Now if we go one and done, we could drop down to 7. We aren't finishing strong, and that's what the committee loves.

Big game for us going on right now. Would you say if we win we're a lock?

By beating Northwestern? Probably not a lock. NU has made a good run lately, but they are still not in the discussion for an at-large. If a loss would be "bad," then a win doesn't lock you in.

BTW, assuming Ohio State and Wisconsin both win today, and they should, you would play Wisconsin in the 4-5 game in the Big Ten tourney. HUGANTIC implications there. Neither of you gain much by a win today.

Well, IMO, I think we're pretty far in right now (not very far, but "semi-comfortable" at the moment), so IMO, this game isn't as much about getting a quality win, as avoiding a bad loss. If we win, we'd be at 20-9, with an above .500 conf record, in a good conference. Even if we lose our first tourney game, that's still 20-10, and 10-9 in the conference. I'd have to think that'd be enough (unless an absolute ridiculous # of automatics are stolen by non-at large teams).

What helps the Big Ten this year, and the ACC to some extent, is the lack of mid-majors stealing bids. There aren't many leagues out there that will produce multiple bids, with the exception of the Mountain West.

Butler would be one if they fall to Cleveland State in the Horizon final.

Just count your blessings that the mid-majors are down this year. A year or two ago, OSU might be looking at a whole different story with this same résumé.

The funny thing is, we basically did have the same resume as last year, and we didn't make it, so you're probably right. (Even, though, IMO, we should have been in, over teams like Kige's.)

Also, random question, how'd you get the " ' " over the " e "'s in resume?

IMO, we should beat them. We should have beat them on the road, but did not play well. No reason to not defeat them on a neutral court.

Kige's teams this year = fail. It's all good.

As for the é, press Alt+0233 on your keypad (if you are on a desktop keyboard). Just make sure to release Alt after the last number. I'm sure there's a simpler way, but I learned the numbers.

Si (the " ' " thing still doesn't work for me ). I just hate them from last year when UK got in over us. At least we won a championship, though.
