[The Q]

UConn looks allright this year. They may challenge to be on the bubble.

really needed to not give away the Xavier game...

Yea, seriously.

Xavier deserved to lose that game in every way...

Marshall hitting that 3 from the parking lot to send it to Ot was brutal. That was a terrible look. Hate bad process being rewarded.

[BoiseStateFan27]

I don't know where else we will talk A-10 on this board but that league is off to a good start

VCU playing well, Dayton looked impressive today, Richmond is undefeated and just beat Wisconsin

Man UNI really got fucked by the refs in this WVU game. Just an awful flagrant 1 call late

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Crazy game at Cameron

DUke(no shock) with 37 free throw attempts to 15

SFA with 62 FG attempts to 44.

SFA only taken 7 3s and 1 make

Mid majors aren't even playing good games and are taking out bluebloods on the road...

This year is going to be nuts.

This year is going to be nuts.

The SFA/Duke and Butler/Stanford games ended at almost the exact time. What a night.

You can’t undercut a player in the air.

That only applies if you do it intentionally as its then considered a non basketball play. Boxing out as a guy jumps over you that you didnt even know was there doesnt apply. Basically the refs said the UNI guy had eyes in the bavk of his head lol . Grest coneback by your dudes though man. Good game

It was a tough call for sure. But it was still an undercut. I will admit WVU got lucky. UNI was controlling the game and then we finally started hitting some shots. Both teams shot like shit though. It’s nice to finally get a quality win. Good luck the rest of the way.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Not sure how I feel about Boise State's start

We got crushed by Oregon and lost to one of those random regional California teams

We did beat BYU and that's looking like a good win

 

[UVA_Guy81]

WKU came up with what I'd call an upset against undefeated Arkansas tonight. Although it came at a heavy price with Bassey getting hurt and with the way the injury looked, will be out for quite a while.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

W. Kentucky's Bassey out with tibia fracture

About as bad as I figured. Hope that he comes back next year instead of going into the draft.

UNI wins at Colorado. UNI has put themselves in position to get an at large if they can take care of business in another down MVC.

I was just going to post this. A solid at large shot

 

[ericd7633]

I think they'll need to be at least 25-3 entering the MVC tournament, but I think that's definitely realistic for them. This will most likely be their only Q1 win. So the record has to be gaudy.

 

[ericd7633]

Some programs that have put themselves in position to earn an at large bid:

A-10:
VCU
Dayton
St. Louis
George Mason
Richmond

*Not quite ready to put Duquesne on the list. Undefeated, but best win is probably against Indiana State.

MTN. West:
San Diego State
Utah State
New Mexico

MAC:
Kent State

WCC:
St Mary's
BYU

MVC:
Northern Iowa

A-Sun:
Liberty

CAA:
Delaware

A-10 has been really good this season so far. Would not surprise me to see them get 4/5 bids.
