Notre Dame is going to move on. Potentially good for us.

Really the ACC tournament has gone about as well as we could have hoped so far.

I think ND just got in. The Bonzie story is compelling.

I think they need the Duke win. They weren't on a single bracket in the bracket matrix last night.

At 15 minutes, VT was up 21 at 47-26. Then got outscored 12-40 to the 35 second mark.

That's NIU stuff.


Psh. Western Michigan started out on an 18-0 run vs Akron Monday night. They were up 27-4 with 8min left in the first half. The halftime score was 35-31.

I only know this because I bet Western Michigan at -4.5 for the 1H...

Some rumors that Bamba might give it a go for Texas tonight, that's some shenanigans from Shaka if he does.

I don't see why the predictive metrics like them so much. Usually you can see why a team has good predictive metrics compared to their results-based but I can't figure out Notre Dame's. They've only won two Q1 games (they're 2-8 in Q1 games), their schedule isn't particularly good, they have three 100+ RPI losses...


Predictive metrics take into effect missing players that are back on the team. Bonzie Colson and Maty Farrell are the reason their predictive metrics are better than their results based metrics.

KenPom doesn't take injuries into account as far as I know, and they have strong numbers there also.

This Texas/Iowa State game is going to be fast paced and hideous.

If this game is in the 70s, I expect Texas to lose.

Not normally, but they are so far tonight and Iowa State will push it so I'm not sure what choice Texas will have, especially without Bamba.

WVU can lose to almost anyone with the way they play.

Oh my God that looks insanely painful. A Texas player just got a tooth broken by an elbow.

Last game of the year. WVU also blew Texas out earlier.

I'd also say Texas shot crazy from three to beat WVU. Hard to overcome a team who shoots out of their mind.

Yeah they were what, 7-11 from behind the arc in the first half, guess that will do it

If Texas loses this are they in or out?

I think they should be okay unless some weird stuff happens, but they definitely won't be comfortable

I had them as a 9 seed before this game. I think this would move them down a seed or two, but not out. But if OSU and ND and Syracuse continue to win, they could move into the last 4 in our next 4 out.

I can tell you that with all these bubble wins, St. Mary's is in real trouble.

They'd be within the margin of danger of the committee doing some weird stuff

North Carolina is having no issues with the zone and their defense is on point tonight. Going to be rough for Syracuse to win tonight.

As long as they find out in the first 5min of the selection show if they're in or not

Exactly. I wish terrible things on the committee, not the players.

you know they are not going to do that. They will spend 10 minutes on the 32 AQs. Then another 10 minutes on the 28 at large teams that are in. Then they will spend 10 minutes on the last 8 teams in and the 8 teams that barely missed. Then 10 minutes on setting up the bracket. And then 20 minutes on who will win it all.
