Chatting early

Posted: 2/21/2015 12:51:52 PM

Lots of games today. Lots to talk about.

Hall of fame going back up. Should be some stories and memories to share.

GOnna jump in the wheelchair and tool around during Wisky half ...Imagine that the Kohl center full at 1030 am. 11 am tip.

Full slate with Bubble implications.

Borrowed this from a friend. Add in Kansas and some other games and you got a pretty good day. OHIO on Directv 725 IIRC. Don't have it this year so SOL.

There are a ton of important bubble team games Saturday

Pitt @ [B]Syracuse[/B]. Pitt has some decent wins, but they're currently on the wrong side of the bubble. One more loss, to either Syracuse or Miami on the 4th, and they'll be NIT bound unless they make some serious noise in the conference tourney.

[B]Seton Hall[/B] at @St. Johns. Seton Hall is unlikely to recover after their 5 game losing streak, but they have the talent to beat St. Johns on the road. A loss for St. Johns will not knock them out of contention, but they'll be on thin ice and have little room for error with Xavier, Georgetown, and @Villanova still being on their schedule.

Texas A&M @ [B]South Carolina[/B]. South Carolina. Texas A&M is right about where we are on the bubble. The problem for them is that they don't really have any really good wins, but they don't have any bad losses either. South Carolina is much better then their record indicates and have a great chance of pulling the upset at home. A&M will likely only drop to the last 4 in with a loss, but they play @Arkansas in the next game. They also following 3 games are against solid teams, but ones that won't help their resume much if they win, but would really hurt them if they lose.

[B]Florida [/B] @ LSU. Florida won't make the tournament unless they win their conference tourney.. and that won't happen. They the talent to beat LSU. Florida beating LSU would help our chances more than you might expect. It would really hurt LSU and put them on the wrong side of the bubble, and it would weaken Texas A&M's resume (their only two top 50 wins are against LSU, who is currently 50th).

[B]ISU [/B]@ Texas. Texas is safe for now, but this loss would put them at maybe a 9 or 10 seed. They are 1-8 against top 50 teams. Their worst loss is against Stanford.. But they have to get another top 50 win to make the tournament. Each loss, even against good teams, will slowly put them on thin ice. Again, they'll likely be safe if they lose this game, but their next 3 games are against @West Virginia, @Kansas, and Baylor.. They can certainly lose them all, and that will either put them in the NIT, or make them the most dangerous 12 seed you'll ever see in the tourney.

Miami @ [B]Louisville [/B] Although a Miami win would boost our RPI, a win for them would likely put them in the tourney despite their bad losses. A little RPI boost isn't worth another team taking a tourney bid.

Butler @ [B]Xavier[/B]. Fortunately for them, they beat Cincinnati which keeps them safe even with another loss, but they can't afford to have many more losses after that. A loss here wouldn't hurt much, but if they do lose they need to win @ St. Johns, or Villanova to feel comfortable about being on the right side of the bubble. Lose all 3 and they're on the wrong side.

[B]Virginia Tech[/B] @ NC State. This one is pretty simple, NC State just can't have another bad loss. Lose here, and they're far from being on the right side of the bubble.

[B]Air Force [/B]@ Colorado State. Their last four games are against awful teams. If they slip up in any of them, then they're out unless they win the conference.. which is possible.

[B]California[/B] @ Stanford. Currently on the right side of the bubble. With only 1 top 50 win( against a stumbling Texas), they need to win at home against okay opponents to keep their hopes alive. Picture what it would be like if we lost to MSU on Sunday.. this loss would be even worse for them. Not a death blow, but worse.

[B]Tennessee [/B]@ Ole Miss. With two really bad losses on their resume, Ole Miss can't afford to lose many more games. They'll be safe with a loss, but they have a tough stretch with Georgia next, followed by @LSU and @Alabama.

Georgia @ [B]Alabama[/B]. Georgia is heading in the wrong direction. Lose here that makes it a 3 game losing streak and puts them dangerously close to the wrong side of the bubble. Their next game is @Ole Miss too.

UCLA @ [B]Arizona[/B]. This won't be a bad loss to UCLA by any means, but just how we dropped a couple spots when we lost to Wisconsin, UCLA would also drop a bit.. Currently an 11 seed, but this could put them on the wrong side of the bubble depending on how other teams do.

Cincinnati @ [B]Houston.[/B] They're currently a 9/10 seed, but they're on a 3 game losing streak. They'll be on the bubble with another loss.

never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Winter comes and asks how you spent your summer.....

The game loves and rewards those who love and reward the game

Not a lot of surprises really, although Butler got beat more handily?

Bradley managed 39 points. Ouch. How long is Geno's contact? If he had it ALL to do over again would he have been on the opposite bench today?

Geno is done. That is a done deal along with the AD.
