[loca2874]

WE ARE DOWN TO THE LAST TWO DAYS OF THE REGULAR SEASON!!

there is a lot of basketball today and tomorrow. nothing totally decided until tomorrow. The only thing I knw for a fact (other than TU being the conference Champs) I if Temple can beat Cincinnati today then Tulsa will be guaranteed the 2 seed.

Austin Peay and Boise State were eliminated in their Tourneys yesterday.

Colorado St is slowly being pulled up. Wonder if they can grab a few more spots and just slide into top 100. That Wyoming loss hurt, they win that and we don't have to sweat it. That sliding into a quad 2 loss would really help. Everyone seems to have one bad loss this year on the bubble or "safe", put us on much better footing to make an at large case.

 

[TU 1978]

Ultimately, the NET doesn't mean .

I like our chances for the NCAA, because if we get in, the fans may not. That would be our luck.

More teams to root against:

Arizona St (53) vs WSU (119)
Xavier (40) vs Butler (17)
Stanford (27) at Oregon (16)
Texas (57) vs OSU (71)
UCLA (77) at USC (42)
Utah St (43) vs SDSU (4)

 

[Henry Kendall]

Temple has thrown in the towel. Cincinnati will beat them mercilessly.

We have to play one of our best games of the season tomorrow. It will be a war.

All of you on the left consider yourself hated today. Who am I kidding I hate them all

 

[Henry Kendall]

Yes I generally tend to pull for the underdog. But right now I’m rooting for the favorites to win out.

 

[URedskin54]

Indiana loses at home to Wisconsin. They are listed by some as in the last 4 in

 

[loca2874]

Arkansas State lost in the tourney and Vanderbilt is up on South Carolina

 

[URedskin54]

Two borderline bubble teams South Carolina (Thanks Vandy) and Tennessee both lose.

 

[loca2874]

I am a fan of a Vanderbilt win

 

[t-townpod]

Texas going down today won't hurt either. Aggies up 18 midway 1st half

 

[libertychamp]

Texas going down today won't hurt either. Aggies up 18 midway 1st half

How are we going to even get on the bubble we are not on anyone’s bubble by default

 

[libertychamp]

UCLA down 5 with 8 to go

 

[libertychamp]

UCLA down 5 with 8 to go

Arkansas down early

 

[nevadanatural]

OSU up 22 on Texas at the half.

 

[nevadanatural]

The UCLA leprechaun goes down to USC.

 

[URedskin54]

UCLA loses on a last second 3

 

[tulsahurricane0530]

Shaping up to be a decent day. I still think they'll throw more of these teams in then not but doesnt hurt to bring some of them down a notch

 

[loca2874]

So I wonder if Shaka smart is gonna be looking for another job at the end of the season

 

[t-townpod]

How are we going to even get on the bubble we are not on anyone’s bubble by default

Win tomorrow and 2 in tourney we are on bubble

 

[loca2874]

OSU just beat the brakes off Texas

 

[nevadanatural]

The crime dog and the Cowboys take out the Longhorns 81-59.

 

[Henry Kendall]

So I wonder if Shaka smart is gonna be looking for another job at the end of the season

Very strange that he has been such a disappointment down in Austin.

In other news, piggies going down to Aggies today.

 

[URedskin54]

While it would be nice if our non-con opponents would win a game every once in a while, this loss probably keeps Arkansas out of the tourney for good

 

[tulsahurricane0530]

Utah st. up on San Diego St. with about 5 mins left. Not sure if Utah st was a lock going in or not but could be the first stolen bid

 

[tulsahurricane0530]

Utah st. pulls it out. SDSU missed a game tying 3 at the buzzer that just rattled out. They were projected first 4 out

 

[URedskin54]

Utah State wins. They’re someone I hope the committee would have picked even with a loss though. Need more Utah State’s and fewer Texas’ in the tourney

 

[loca2874]

Well they are 26-8. 23-8 going into the tournament and have a NET of 48 so I am sure they were in regardless

Don’t see the NBA rushing to keep fans away from games. For God’s sake everything we do has a risk. Bet the chance of being injured or killed in a car wreck on the way to a game is way high. Thus the risk of the same happening to a player driving to a movie or the store.

A TTech news outlet said the Tech v Texas game a couple of weeks ago was being viewed by some high $ Texas boosters as a pseudo on the job evaluation/interview for Chris Beard. Why would anyone subject themselves to that. It's a littler more money, a lot more headache and unrealistic expectation and Beard can get the 5* kids at Tech.

 

[TU_BLA]

Cincinnati DOWN 14 to Temple at the half. Cincy looks awful. Cumberland already thinks he's an NBA player whining for fouls after every time he touches the ball. Temple shooting lights out in the 1st half from 3.

 

[drboobay]

I would not count them out. Cumberland playing hurt.

Temple should be further ahead.

 

[Henry Kendall]

I still expect Bearcats will win this game. But it is a cautionary tale that you have to guard the hot three-point shooter.

 

[libertychamp]

Maybe our Luck will be that Memphis will beat Houston tomorrow before our game temple could finish this miracle with beating Cincy and we could lose to WSU and be champs not co champs lol

 

[Tulsa_]

Temple has thrown in the towel. Cincinnati will beat them mercilessly.

We have to play one of our best games of the season tomorrow. It will be a war.

Not yet... Up 14 at half in CinCin...

 

[Henry Kendall]

USF just beat smoo 61-60.

bahahahahahaha

 

[Bill Lowery]

USF just beat smoo 61-60.

bahahahahahaha

Smoo had a 7 point lead with 42 seconds left and a 3-pointer with 2 seconds left by USF gave them the 1 point win. Nice.

 

[Henry Kendall]

Even better.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

That last second shot that Rideau drained with .6s left, was a sharp dagger in SMU's eye. Lovin it!
