Wofford or Furman?

Furman has an rpi about 300 and usually I root for underdogs. But this time of year I also root for certain bubble teams to make the field.

This Baylor/WVU game would be so much more fun if either team could go more than 12 seconds without an unforced turnover.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Iowa St. came from behind and beat Texas at the buzzer. They never had the lead until then.

Really fun finish.

Texas had the ball with the chance to take the last shot in a tied game and they still allowed ISU an opportunity to get the rebound with about 6 seconds left. Inexcusable.

With PAC-12 officiating, Kentucky would be in a big hole against Florida. Because they're allowed to play physical basketball, they have a lead.

Seriously, any offense in the block for Kentucky is a flagrant-1 for Arizona. They post up by throwing an elbow to the head of the defender, followed by a second elbow to the head of the defender. If a third elbow to the head is no longer needed, they lay-in an uncontested shot. If a third elbow to the head is indeed needed, they throw an elbow to the head of the defender. No whistles.

So... I would say UVA is not a one seed anymore losing 2 of their last 3. The Cats need one of Duke/Nova/Wisky to lose to get their one seed. Of course the Cats do have to win or all this is moot.

Roy is aging in Dog Lightyears this season with this team, who looks like LSU did down the stretch.

Agree on Virginia. It is like magic though, Virginia needed some baskets down the stretch, they opened up the offense and got more assertive, and Voila! Buckets. Makes me want to grab Tony Bennett by the lapels and shake the deflate-the-ball nonsense out of him.

The refereeing in this Duke/ND game is Pac12 worthy. The fix is in.

Harvard/Yale as good as you'd expect so far.

Dayton having one of those Miller slow starts. ;)
