[PhilSimms11]

McNeese (30-3) took care of business. Headed to the dance.

 

[Xeliou66]

A 3-28 DePaul team is putting up a great fight against a Villanova team that’s on the bubble.

 

[Xeliou66]

Villanova survives, beating DePaul by 1, their tourney hopes are still alive.

 

[Dolgevillefootballfan]

3/13 recap (Part 1- The major tournaments)

Villanova survives, beating DePaul by 1, their tourney hopes are still alive.

And thank god; that would have been a nuclear-type disaster for the Wildcats. Oh, and people like Xavier and Providence also won in Madison Square Garden.
Now let's see what else happened yesterday. First, the big tourneys:

ACC 2nd Round:
Florida State over Virginia Tech 86-76

[Xeliou66]

UConn and UNC take care of business in their quarterfinals.

TCU still hasn’t scored against Houston and we’re almost halfway through the 1st half, holy shit.

 

[PhilSimms11]

At this point I wonder if one of the "play-in" matchups will be Wagner (16-15) vs Montana St (17-17)...a battle of flukes.

 

[redskinsfan1963]

only way uva makes the NCAA tourney is by winning the acc tourney which ain,t happening.

 

[PhilSimms11]

TCU still hasn’t scored against Houston and we’re almost halfway through the 1st half, holy shit.

Holy shit. I flipped it over and witnessed TCU score their first points of the game...10 minutes in.

 

[PhilSimms11]

A-10
#9 St Joseph's 66, #1 Richmond 61.
The NIT welcomes Richmond (23-9).

 

[Xeliou66]

NCST upsets Duke, always nice to see Duke lose, I hate that smug elitist snobby program.

Providence over Creighton was a good game as well.

A&M beats Ole Miss to keep their chances at the tourney alive

 

[Jordan23]

i,m not a va tech fan,but they may win a game in this year,s tourney.

Conference tourney?

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

Cincinnati - NET ranking of 34. 4 QUAD 1 wins.

Just play make-believe and slap the Kansas name or some shit on our jerseys and they'll be a 5 seed, let alone in the tournament. No one has to know.

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

Kansas State is being considered!? Dafaq!?

K-State - 68 NET, 65 Kenpom.
Cincinnati - 34 NET, 33 Kenpom. Beaten K-State head to head on the basketball court.

You know what? Have fun ESPN, Joe Lunardi.
