Yep, St. Johns too.  They also went 8-10 in their mediocre league, lost 4 home games and got swept by Stanford.  They also got beat on opening day of their tourney.  We got beat on third day of ours.

This is going to be a looooong 1:15 to end this game.

 

Calling off  the dogs.  This one is overrrrr.

[colhusker]

A dunk with 8 seconds left?  wow

[tjp21]

ASU didn't like that dunk at the end of the shot clock....

[royalfan]

Guess not. A little skirmish.  Az St. guy didn't care for the alley oop with 5 seconds left lol.  

[royalfan]

Would be epic if they do another one.  

[colhusker]

It would be classless if they did another

And... I personally don't GAF.  They went 8-10 in the Number 6 conference according to Kenpom.  They are out!   By your logic St. John's should be in because they beat Duke and Villanova.  If St. John's wins 2 in the Conference tournament they will end up .500 are they in?  According to Lunardi they would be I'm sure

Not a bad early session.  Neither ASU or NCSt can sleep easy.  

 

I feel like the more muddy the picture becomes on the bubble, the better our chances get.  A lot of teams with not so impressive metrics.  Might be good in one or two, not great in others.  How do you draw the line? At the end of the day maybe you say W/Ls matter, and 13-5 and tied for 4th might mean something.

It's kind of a battle between really good wins, but some very questionable losses OR a good win or two and only 1 bad loss.

CU up 10 with seven seconds left. Gonna be tough for ASU.

Over now

Louisville 47/Florida State  45- 11am ESPN  Florida St - 2 1/2  Need Florida St
Boston College 97/NC State 45 - 1pm(pry closer to 1:30)  ESPN  NC St - 3 1/2  Need Boston College for our metrics and outside shot it could bounce NC St
Arizona State 58/Colorado 86 - 2pm Pac 12 network  Az st -7 Need Colorado.  This game could potentially burst Az st bubble
St. John's 91/Georgetown 148 - 6pm FS1  St. Johns - 4 1/2  Need St. Johns
Notre Dame 70/Virginia Tech 51 - 6pm ESPN2  Notre Dame - 2 1/2  Badly need Virginia Tech here.  Bad feeling ND is in with a win here.  
Oklahoma 36/Oklahoma State 89 - 6pm ESPNU  OU - 1 1/2  I am not sure on this.  It all depends on how the selection folks view OU and I can imagine that is a bit of a polarizing topic.  The herd believes they are still in and I am concerned that both would be in with a win by Ok. St here.  The flipside is that they both could be out if Ok. St wins today and loses tomorrow, and we potentially need spots to open up that are not currently ours.  I am barely going with needing Oklahoma here, but will hold on to hope if it goes the other way, especially in blowout fashion.  

 

UTEP 291/UT San Antonio 189 - 6:30 Facebook live  UTSA - 2 1/2  Need UTSA for our metrics
Oregon State 143/Washington 63 - 8pm Pac12 Network  Oregon St -2  Need Oregon St. to pound nail in Washington coffin once and for all
Iowa State 129/Texas 48 - 8pm(pry closer to 8:30)  ESPNU  Texas - 5 1/2  Need Iowa St. badly.  Huge game here
DePaul 178/Marquette56 - 8:30 FS1  Marquette -6 Need DePaul  Big one here
Louisiana Tech 202/North Texas 189 - 8:30 Facebook live  La Tech - 2 1/2  Need N. Texas for our metrics
Washington State 174/Oregon 68 - 10:30 Pac 12 Network  Oregon - 11 1/2  Need Washington St. 

 

Others

Syracuse 37/North Carolina6- North Carolina -8pm ESPN2  7 1/2  Need North Carolina badly here, preferably by way of blowout

Bump so more easily accessed for the night session.  Not time to stop now gentlemen.  Lets keep willing these bubbles to burst.

Arizona State is out... Move us up one in Lunardi's asinine Bracket

Penn State has no chance to be ahead of us like Lunardi Says... Move us up one more

Two of the 9 Big 12 Teams are not getting in... move us up two more spots.

 

That puts us on the 3rd Team on the "First Four Out" Right now in my opinion

 

We need 3 more losses IMO

 

We are big Depaul, North Carolina and Virginia Tech and fans tonight

Colorado looks like the type of team that has gotten hot at just the right time and may cut through the Pac 12 tournament like a hot knife through butter and steal a bid.  Also we need to be a little concerned that (if they don't win the P-12 championship) they could possibly push ahead of us in the NIT pecking order if they win vs Arizona tomorrow.

 

I get rooting against ASU, but having CU get on a roll makes me nervous.  We NEED to all be big Arizona fans this weekend.

Tad Boyle looked like he maybe pulled an Achilles trying to break up the scuffle at the end of the game.  Rallying point for the Buffs?

I mean, my goal is to make the NCAA tournament.  We have a better chance with Arizona State losing today to CU.  Tomorrow, I will be rooting against CU.  But for today, I think we needed CU to win that game.

Yeah, I get that.  But with the way they were shooting from 3 today it just reminded me of Michigan last week.

With Azibuke being out now, I think we can/should root for OU.  Having OSU beat OU and then KU again would put them in.  I also firmly believe that OU is in.  Just for the fact that they have Trae Young.

[hskr4life]

ASU dropped to 65 in the RPI after the loss today.

I'm rooting for OU

LOL there was a guy on Twitter who had Washington ahead of Nebraska because "Washington beat Kansas and Nebraska didn't." Truly amazing some of the people that think they are expert bracketologists. 

 

What's funny is Arizona State will move out of all the bracketologists' brackets, but they will still be ahead of us. Just watch for it. No one is going to move us up guys. ASU, Alabama, Oklahoma, Baylor, USC, etc. could all lose and fall out, but they'll all stay ahead of us. Screw 'em all.

Kind of like how Utah jumped in over us, because someone had to.  Colorado is probably next
