Houston actually beat UCF, which was not good for us.

 

Agree on Notre Dame NC State. I'm actually glad to see ND lose that one. Their slide from being ranked top five in the country continues.

 

Kansas goes down. Darn it. That offsets the potential St John's upset. Speaking of which, they're only up three now 

 

Houston just had a loss in their last game is what I meant....

HEEEEEEERE'S JOHNNIE!

 

[ShortDust]

Houston losing and ucf winning would’ve been a double whammy for us.

[Cookie Miller Wasn't Dirty]

Mizzou beats Kentucky. That should move them up and out of the Last Four In for Lunardi. Darn.

[hskr4life]

Lot of bubble games going our way though!  As we’ve discussed before... bubble teams will win and lose.  If they all lose, this’ll be easier than we thought.

Saturday's Games of Interest (in order of tip-off time):

 

Duke/St. John's - would be nice to see St. John's get another win
Oklahoma State/Kansas - keeps OSU (13-9) out of the conversation
Notre Dame/NC State - NC State is getting a lot of traction lately
Houston/UCF - win for us and win to knock Houston down further
Texas Tech/TCU - keeps TCU falling
Clemson/Wake Forest - why not?
Kentucky/Missouri - really need Kentucky to pull this one out
Miami/Virginia Tech - Miami currently a 6 seed vs. play-in Tech
South Carolina/Texas A&M - just keep knocking each other out (SC was just in there however)
Memphis/East Carolina - this may not matter much
Fresno State/Wyoming - just to be safe
Minnesota/Michigan - up for debate
Providence/Marquette - up for debate (Providence #10 vs. Marquette bubble)
South Dakota/North Dakota State - might as well root for the good guy
Arkansas/LSU - knock Arkansas down
Virginia/Syracuse - really need to ensure this happens, although Syracuse tends to knock themselves out of the tournament
Kansas State/West Virginia - WVU is likely a lock no matter how bad they're falling
Alabama/Florida - Alabama is likely in, but this doesn't hurt
Florida State/Louisville - just to be safe
Western Kentucky/UT San Antonio - win/win for us
Delaware State/North Carolina Central - c'mon man!
Iowa/Penn State - up for debate
Georgia/Mississippi State - Georgia is on the bubble
USC/UCLA - keep UCLA out of the conversation
Oklahoma/Texas - keep Texas out of the conversation
Iowa State/Baylor - likely doesn't matter
Arizona/Washington - we need Arizona to win this one

 

Using this to update throughout the day. Green means the bold team won. Red means the bold team lost.

UT San Antonio is up 37-25 at half against Western Kentucky. This would be a HUGE one for us if they can pull off the win.

+1 just for this. Also seems like most of us are fairly aligned with these "should favor" matchups today.

Feed working great.  Deleware St. down 4 nearing half.  Plenty of good seats available.

Wow. So huge. Not only is Western Kentucky in the first four out, but obviously UTSA is a past opponent as well. 

[hskr4life]

REally looking at overall scores so far... it hasn’t been too bad of a day for us.  The wins haven’t been killers and the losses by teams have helped.

Can't find video of UTSA but here is audio link if so inclined.  http://conferenceusa.com/watch/default.aspx?Live=3768&path=utsa

For those that follow recruiting... interesting that Western Kentucky is putting together one of their better seasons. They had a five star center decide to leave after signing his LOI last year. He wasn't allowed to transfer so he's just taking a hiatus from basketball this season until he can enter the draft this year (and likely go in the first round). I bet their fans are wondering what could have been.

[royalfan]

Rutgers not on the list but would be a nice boost since play them twice and Purdue once.  

[royalfan]

LSU win helps a little.  UTSA up 13 8 minutes left

Just today? 

[royalfan]

They cannot go any lower at least.  

[ShortDust]

North Dakota has a chance to win.

Down 3 with 14 mins left against Montana.

North Texas also plays Rice. It’s still too early in this game.

This was Lunardi's update at noon today. We're in his First Four Out. And his Last Four In are NM State, Mizzou, Va Tech, and Marquette. Two of them took L's. Add in WKU's loss and we might be his first team out now.

Still got some work to do, but I like it!

[TomEadesSucks]

Georgia about to go down to Mississippi St.  NU possibly last one in now?

I still get the sense that Lunardi is hesitant to put us close to in. Maybe next week?

KSU gets blown out by Texas wins.
