Duke having a hard time putting the finishing touches on this thing - still up 72-65 with 27.7 to play, but just got a 5-second call and on the next inbounds attempt had to use its last timeout. It's a good thing NC State looks gassed

I think Coach K was watching tape of Nebraska's press break.

Kentucky in complete control up 16 with 2:08 to play

 

So it's been a good day for NU to stay out of the First 4 games - got the two losses we really wanted, Tennessee & NC State, plus the two bid stealing teams both will lose, St Bony and Georgia. 

 

Would be nice to see Providence lose tonight and St Joes lose tomorrow, but that's really about it at this point. Also wouldn't be bad to see Mich St win today and tomorrow.

 

Not going to be much drama Sunday. NCAA committee can put NU's name on the 10 seed line & sit back and relax.  ;)

Only games that could possibly impact NU are the Toledo/W. Michigan game. Toledo has a solid RPI, but that's about it. I wouldn't expect they get in as an at large, but I'd rather not take the chance because W. Mich. definately doesn't get in.  And then, of course, Providence and Creighton.

Remember when everyone was saying MSU was a Final Four type team? They're actually playing like it today - up 37-16 with 5:30 to go before halftime

Was really pulling for Ohio State today. That would have guaranteed that Nebraska had owned a win over the B1G tourney champion.

While that would be nice, it won't really matter. Everything will already be decided before tomorrow's B1G championship game. All that game will matter for is what seed Michigan and Michigan State (it looks like) get.

That is correct. Reading and listening to former selection committee members they said it's pretty much required they have all 68 teams rated 1-68 by Saturday night. Then they spend Sunday morning doing all the actual brackets. One former member said this year compared to other years should be easier on them deciding the field of 68 and should probably get to start on brackets tonight since there aren't as many team really on the fringe like previous seasons.

Toledo has 0 top 50 wins. There's just no way they can compete with ours, or even Minnesota's resume.

I agree - but they'll be a team that appears on that CBS graphic that says "Midnight bubble burst" or something clever like that ;) with a 40-45 RPI ranking and everyone will say, why did they leave the little guy out? It's not fair to take the X-th place team from X Big Conference.

 

WMU up 13 now with 5:00 to play.
