2146969, Get Your Dance Tickets! Conference Tourneys: Thursday
Posted by Frank Longo, Thu Mar-14-13 12:55 AM
Per notable conference... *deep breath*

Cincy vs. G'Town- 12 PM, ESPN

Minnesota vs. Illinois- 12 PM, BTN
PSU vs. Michigan- 2:30 PM, BTN

ACC:
Ga Tech vs. Boston College- 12 PM, ESPNU
Va Tech vs. State- 2 PM, ESPNU
Wake vs. Maryland- 7 PM, ESPNU

Big 12:
Iowa State vs. Oklahoma- 12:30 PM, ESPN2

St. Joe's vs. Xavier- 6:30 PM, NBCS
GW vs. UMass- 9 PM, NBCS
C-USA:
UAB vs. Southern Miss- 1 PM
Houston vs. UTEP- 3:30 PM
Tulane vs. Memphis- 7 PM
Tulsa vs. ECU- 9:30 PM, CBSS
Pac-12:
Arizona State vs. UCLA- 3 PM
Colorado vs. Arizona- 5:30 PM
Utah vs. Cal- 9 PM
Oregon vs. Washington- 11:30 PM
Must wins to get off the bubble:
- Minnesota vs. Illinois: winner in great position, loser still in decent position... but at risk
- Iowa needs to beat Northwestern and beat Michigan State to make a good argument
- Maryland probably needs to win the tourney... it starts with Wake
- Iowa State needs the win more than Oklahoma does: the Sooners should be safe, the Cyclones might be too... but the win would solidify
- Baylor's beatdown of Kansas has them close... a win over OKST would make them hard to pass up
- Tennessee is close, but can't afford an opening round loss
- Arkansas can *maybe* slip in if they get all the way to the finals
- a couple of wins could sneak Southern Miss into the field
- Oregon *should* be okay... but a loss to Washington would end their season on three losses and that's... not good
- Arizona State must be UCLA. A win might put them in, a loss definitely puts them out
Games I'm most excited for:
Minnesota vs. Illinois- 12 PM, BTN
Iowa State vs. Oklahoma- 12:30 PM, ESPN2
Love bubble games. Always.
Cuse vs. Pitt- 2 PM, ESPN
Pitt won their only match. Cuse fans are cysed over the Seton Hall win today. Can they keep rolling?
Arizona State vs. UCLA- 3 PM
A talented backcourt with the Big Dance on the line against Shabazz, Adams, and co.
Colorado vs. Arizona- 5:30 PM
The Buffaloes have the talent to hang with anyone in the Pac-12. They split with Zona this season. Andre Roberson is back. Should be fun.
Nova vs. L'Ville- 7 PM, ESPN
Nova beat Louisville earlier this year. The media seems to believe Louisville is the consensus favorite to win it all. Nova could bump their seed pretty damn high with a season sweep.
Texas vs. KSU- 7 PM
With Kabongo on the court, Texas has the potential on a given night to go off.
Notre Dame vs. Marquette- 9 PM, ESPN
Lost at Marquette two weeks ago... but Cooley didn't play much.
Baylor vs. Oklahoma State- 9:30 PM, ESPN3
Baylor was two-tenths of a second in overtime from sweeping them this year. Two immensely talented rosters. One desperate for a win, one desperate for a better seed. This is my Game of the Day. Both are just so much fun to watch.

2146977, Thursday of the Big East tournament is one of the best tickets out there
Posted by HowieDooem, Thu Mar-14-13 02:08 AM
Usually 5 or 6 ranked teams, and a couple others that are at least making the NCAAs. I'm so glad I was able to go to one before the latest realignment mess kicked in.

2147141, Add to that the lime green shit Notre Dame was wearing.
Posted by ChuckFoPrez, Thu Mar-14-13 11:26 AM
ugh.

2147147, I just saw those. good grief
Posted by CherNic, Thu Mar-14-13 11:29 AM
|
2147142, Damn I hate Pitt
Posted by DJR, Thu Mar-14-13 11:26 AM
They'll be riding MCW like he's Secretariat all game. Their clutching and grabbing, moving screens, slowing the pace to a crawl....I hate it all.
I hate their style of play and I wish this was the last time I have to watch this bullshit boring ass ball.
Yes, I'm preemptively bitching and prepared to be mad as shit.

2147150, What time is SD State on?
Posted by cereffusion, Thu Mar-14-13 11:31 AM

2147155, I believe they don't play til tomorrow.

2147164, Working from home is so nice right now.

|
2147168, Getting laid off w/ severance, even better.
Posted by ChuckFoPrez, Thu Mar-14-13 11:56 AM
Still working the store from home though.

2147226, YUP

|
2147179, Sooners playing like they think they're a bubble team.
Posted by veritas, Thu Mar-14-13 12:08 PM
Iowa State looks complacent and bad right now.
Still pretty early, but in this matchup of 2 bottom level at-large/bubble teams, Oklahoma is looking a lot better.
|
2147189, Cashmere. C-Port.
Posted by CherNic, Thu Mar-14-13 12:19 PM

2147217, ONIONS

2147220, dang Ill beat Minny
Posted by CherNic, Thu Mar-14-13 01:11 PM
|
2147222, Kruger Krugering. You're allowed to call timeout, pal.
Posted by veritas, Thu Mar-14-13 01:12 PM
|
2147252, this asshat might've just coached us into the NIT
Posted by veritas, Thu Mar-14-13 01:34 PM
I'm calling a 12 seed play-in between Boise and Oklahoma.
Because ya know, the committee never seeds for matchup storylines.
|
2147229, For some reason, didn't know Gus was calling the whole Big 10 Tourney.
Posted by Frank Longo, Thu Mar-14-13 01:16 PM
Or at least the games on BTN. Guess I should've figured.
Either way... awesome. Looking forward to that replay.
|
2147240, Is this year the latest the Tourney has ever started?
Posted by J_Stew, Thu Mar-14-13 01:24 PM
usually it seems like it starts around the 14th-17th, this year not until the 21st. i'm so used to telling people fuck SXSW i'm sitting at home watching basketball all day thurs and fri.
|
2147250, Yes, its ridiculous
Posted by Ceej, Thu Mar-14-13 01:34 PM
|
2147382, These no-calls in the Pitt/Cuse game are getting out of hand.
Posted by Frank Longo, Thu Mar-14-13 03:30 PM
Pitt unquestionably should've had an and-1 there.
|
2147403, RE: These no-calls in the Pitt/Cuse game are getting out of hand.
Posted by DJR, Thu Mar-14-13 03:51 PM
They should've. But they shouldn't have got the hoop to cut it to one, because Fair got blatantly pushed on the rebound. Funny how Mike Patrick didn't go crazy about that missed call.
|
2147405, Are you arguing that Patrick is anti-Cuse?
Posted by Frank Longo, Thu Mar-14-13 03:53 PM
He's not anti-anything. He's enthusiastic about everyone.
Scrapping for rebounds and fouls missed there are far more excusable than grabbing a man's arm as he lays it in, lol. Come on now.
|
2147406, I'm arguing that he's a fucking moron and sucks at his job
Posted by DJR, Thu Mar-14-13 03:59 PM
|
2147408, I can't stand Mike Patrick calling games.
Posted by ChuckFoPrez, Thu Mar-14-13 04:00 PM
|
2147417, I'm not against that, lol.
Posted by Frank Longo, Thu Mar-14-13 04:14 PM
I was mad at him on Twitter for catchphrasing early like a pressed maniac.
|
2147432, say it again
Posted by veritas, Thu Mar-14-13 04:38 PM
|
2147436, He's done Marquette games the past three Saturdays
Posted by HowieDooem, Thu Mar-14-13 04:40 PM
I can't take it anymore.
|
2147462, You haven't tried to stab your eardrums yet?
Posted by ChuckFoPrez, Thu Mar-14-13 05:24 PM
|
2147407, That last screw up by Robinson killed us.
Posted by ChuckFoPrez, Thu Mar-14-13 04:00 PM
|
2147398, from 15-0 to start the game to down 20 at the end
Posted by cgonz00cc, Thu Mar-14-13 03:45 PM
no matter what, Tech's gonna Tech i guess

I'll certainly miss participating in the Big East Tournament. I won't miss watching Pitt loss after securing a double bye in the Big East Tournament, however.
Cuse-Georgetown at the Garden should be really fun, though.
|
2147419, Should be, but those recent two were brutal for Cuse fans
Posted by jigga, Thu Mar-14-13 04:17 PM
>Cuse-Georgetown at the Garden should be really fun, though.

2147439, Holy shit @ that Charlotte/Richmond ending
Posted by Marauder21, Thu Mar-14-13 04:46 PM
Video in the link, this needs to be seen to believed. Richmond fouled when up 3, then got called for a T on Charlotte's free throw when their guy shoved a Charlotte player, and then their coach got TWO technicals and ejected.
11 free throws for Charlotte in less than five seconds.

|
2147479, Those officials all need to be immediately fired.
Posted by Frank Longo, Thu Mar-14-13 06:07 PM
|
2147578, Nevermind. I missed that they called the 3 shot foul
Posted by ErnestLee, Thu Mar-14-13 10:45 PM
n/m
|
2147627, This is the worst thing I've ever seen but
Posted by J_Stew, Fri Mar-15-13 01:07 AM
Maybe karmic justice for intentionally fouling so they can't hit a 3 to tie it, I've always hated that strategy
|
2147451, good start; still need a win tomorrow to seal it
Posted by will_5198, Thu Mar-14-13 05:06 PM
>- Tennessee is close, but can't afford an opening round loss
Vols found another body off the bench in Chievous, which will be sorely needed
|
2147511, Dez Wells is hitting threes?
Posted by Poorspellir, Thu Mar-14-13 07:33 PM
I have no idea how you guard him now.
|
2147513, Heartbreaking end to the Xavier game.
Posted by Frank Longo, Thu Mar-14-13 07:47 PM
|
2147521, can't believe he missed that
Posted by THRILLHOUSE, Thu Mar-14-13 08:12 PM
If Chris Mack designed that play it was a hell of a play. I'm sure my neighbors were probably like what the hell is that crazy person yelling about next door???
|
2147520, Solid win for Maryland
Posted by Poorspellir, Thu Mar-14-13 08:11 PM
A chance to make the tournament if they can beat Duke again tomorrow night.
|
2147539, These Notre Dame uniforms are disrespectful
Posted by CherNic, Thu Mar-14-13 08:48 PM
|
2147542, Even Lennay Kekua's ghost is embarrassed
Posted by Marauder21, Thu Mar-14-13 08:53 PM
|
2147549, Disgusting uniforms for a disgusting group of people.
Posted by HowieDooem, Thu Mar-14-13 09:07 PM

2147541, Just getting in from Comcast for states and see we won. FEAR!

2147561, LMAO @ the smug drunks kicked out of the Garden mid-game.
Posted by Frank Longo, Thu Mar-14-13 09:49 PM
|
2147577, Pierre Jackson is balling his fucking ass off right now
Posted by veritas, Thu Mar-14-13 10:45 PM
trying to singlehandedly push Baylor into the next round.
|
2147581, No way that's a foul.
Posted by veritas, Thu Mar-14-13 10:50 PM
|
2147585, Yep, Baylor got jobbed.
Posted by Frank Longo, Thu Mar-14-13 10:59 PM
|
2147587, God, I wish the committee would put Baylor into the dance.
Posted by Frank Longo, Thu Mar-14-13 11:00 PM
|
2147590, Pierre Jackson is a player pool must have.
Posted by veritas, Thu Mar-14-13 11:03 PM
might have to have an NIT player pool.
|
2147594, Bill Walton is killing it right now. Ray Lewis limousine jokes,
Posted by veritas, Thu Mar-14-13 11:31 PM
trolling ESPN about suspending Simmons...I don't even care about the game but this babbling commentary is hilarious.
|
2147618, Walton always is a champ.
Posted by Frank Longo, Fri Mar-15-13 12:27 AM

2147620, even for him he's in rare form tonight
