[PhilSimms11]

Arizona St (13-16) @ Arizona (19-10) have agreed not to shake hands post game. Got pretty chippy last meeting. Now, that's a rivalry. Love it.

A&M upsets Auburn

 

[PhilSimms11]

BYU (22-8, 13-6) goes on the road and takes down Iowa St (22-8, 12-7) 88-85 (OT).
I think Lunardi had Iowa St as a 2-seed. The Cyclones are now 5th in the Big XII.

 

[TheGoodMan19]

BYU beats Iowa State in 2OT. Brigham Young is red hot, a team I would not want to play in the First Round

How can Rutgers have two top five draft picks and be 14-16?

 

[TheGoodMan19]

A&M upsets Auburn

Auburn still has Alabama to end the regular season. They can't lose a #1 seed but can drop to #3 or #4 overall. Difference from having St. John's as your #2 or Florida as your #2

If Texas gets a bid with a 5-11 conference record then something is seriously wrong
