🏀 GAME THREAD Conference Champion Week! Tracking the 31 Automatic Bids.

[TerryP]

I don't think this has happened in my lifetime. I can't ever remember seeing all six road teams win in their mid week games.

Wild week.

Only one SEC road team lost yesterday.

I think it was last year, it may be the year before, where I noticed Wisconsin was getting hot in their 3PT game. I've seen a blurb here or there that makes me think the same thing is happening this season. (They beat Purdue last night.) And, as I recall, their hot streak went COLD as soon as the tourney started.

IF Bama can make it to Sunday in the SECT ... combined with Purdue tanking among a few other teams struggling? I can see a shot as a three seed.

Finally March Madness time fellas

Troy beats Charlie Henry's squad. They're headed back to the NCAAT. Furman is headed back.

About to watch RMU and Detroit Mercy.

 

[Bammerboy321]

What a shot

 

[Bammerboy321]

Feel bad not staying up for it, but how about Santa Clara beating Saint Mary's? Will the WCC get a three bids?

Will the WCC get a three bids?

Through a play-in?

Through a play-in?

Nah I think last night would solidly put Santa Clara in now. They're 26-7, sitting at 26 in the RPI.

NET spells bubble to me.

NET spells bubble to me.

Think it also helps all the bubble teams bombed last week.

We'll see. My eyes will be glued to their game vs Gonzaga tonight.

A 'Zaga loss would help Bama secure the three line. That loss, with a Bama win Friday, might assure one.

I hate any kid suffering an injury, but glad to see some misfortune hitting someone else besides our roster!

 

[BamaFan334]

Dang, Duke was my favorite to win it all. Probably gonna be Arizona followed by Florida now.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Santa Clara is up on Gonzaga at the half. They're really disrupting passing lanes for them and throwing their rhythm off.

Fun game

Looks like some good early games today: Iowa vs Ohio State should be a good one but that Iowa State v TTU game? An ISU loss won't help Bama. A TTU loss could go a long way in helping Vandy or UArk secure a four seed.

A conference ranked #15 vs a #7 when NW takes on Purdue tonight. A Purdue loss helps. They are currently averaging #11 overall with Bama at #13.

Doesn’t help but Miami (OH) just saw their perfect season end in the quarterfinals.

... a play-in game with Kentucky and Miami.

Florida State is currently beating Duke. Would be wild.

Clemson-UNC tonight
