Murray state over Valparaiso 77-76 in overtime

 

[loca2874]

Yesterday went better than when we played them in Orlando. We only lost by 19. I like seeing Ari Seals get some good playing time these last couple of games. We have one more game on Wednesday at South Florida and I expect all of the guys who haven’t played to do just that as we cannot improve at all. As a matter of fact I would like for them to start Seals and Urbancic.

Todays Games

#9 Baylor travels to Stoolwater to take on the flailing Oklahoma State Cowboys. Currently OSU is listed as the last 4 in on the current bracketology. A win today could get them back in to the field and off the bubble.

I actually think he should only be playing the players he feels have a chance to return for meaningful minutes next year.

I actually think he should only be playing the players he feels have a chance to return for meaningful minutes next year.

Which is basically the freshmen and 1-2 others.

 

[loca2874]

Baylor is up on the pokes by 9 with 3 min left in the 1st

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Baylor is up on the pokes by 9 with 3 min left in the 1st

Wyoming up on Nevada by 2!!!

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Will be interesting to see if Tulane can pull off the 2 games in 3 days, traveling back and forth against East Carolina. If so, a win against Temple at home in their last game of the season might steal the 2nd seed from Memphis. They have two wins against Memphis, so all they have to do is tie them to take 2nd seed.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Looks like cellar dwellar Wyoming is going to pull off the upset of Nevada up by 8 with appr 1m left.

Yesterday Oklahoma State fell short to Baylor. Season is almost over (thank god). Lol

[dlsnid]

I would rather play Wichita than UCF. UCF is just to big we will lose to either one but I think we have a better chance with Wichita

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Will be interesting to see if Tulane can pull off the 2 games in 3 days, traveling back and forth against East Carolina. If so, a win against Temple at home in their last game of the season might steal the 2nd seed from Memphis. They have two wins against Memphis, so all they have to do is tie them to take 2nd seed.

Well they answered that pretty quickly.(Tulane) Tulane lost the first game against EC. The second seed is pretty safe with Memphis.

I would rather play Wichita than UCF. UCF is just to big we will lose to either one but I think we have a better chance with Wichita

Seeds 1-5 look pretty safe, but seeds 6-10 look like a couple of teams could change places.(Including Wichita and UCF) But why do you want to extend this miserable season. We likely won't beat either one, but I'd rather face the stiffer team, and guarantee that we won't win. It's time to lick our wounds, and start talking about who is transferring out/ending their career, and who is coming in. We've got three to five new faces we need to concentrate on bringing in.

 

[dlsnid]

Ok give us UCF so we can concentrate on recruiting. We have no chance against UCF.

Amen.

But if you're Gold *....FIRE EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!! eyeroll.

 

[loca2874]

Houston up on the shockers 33-31 at halftime

 

[Gmoney4WW]

I wasn't even paying attention to(comparing) Temple and Tulane earlier on. That's the only top seed that doesn't seem to be nailed down now. Temple and Tulane look to be playing for the three, and the result of that game could affect Wichita St, USF, East Carolina, and SMU's seed depending on how those teams last games turn out.

Yep. I thought there were more locks until I looked at it and depending on the outcome everyone except for three of us can change spots

 

[loca2874]

This Arkansas vs Kentucky game is really good. Close game at half.

 

[loca2874]

Iowa State beat Baylor big

#2 Alabama goes down

 

[nevadanatural]

Iowa State beat Baylor big

#2 Alabama goes down

Unless something unusual happens Houston is the likely overall number one seed.

 

[loca2874]

Kentucky might foul themselves into an Arkansas win.
