Syracuse about to win at NC State.  Longshot, but if Syracuse plays well from here out the loss at Syracuse has the potential to end as a Q1.

Dayton just destroyed VCU on the road.   Dayton has 3 home Q4 losses that will probably end up costing them but they are playing better.   Probably going to have win at St Louis and beat Davidson with no more losses to get in the conversation

What is your thoughts on the A 10?  Looking like  a 1 bid league?  Might depend on if whether Davidson loses in the A10 tournament (assuming Davidson doesn't have a bad slip up before then).

Villanova at Marquette the lone game running now?  Marquette took a 14 point lead to half, currently up 48-40 with 16 left.

Davidson looks like the leagues only shot at an at-large for now.   St Bonaventure, Vcu and Dayton probably only other teams that could potentially get there.  St Louis is hot right now I would have to look at them a little closer.   Feels like the A-10 will end up with 2.   I don’t see Davidson winning the auto bid.   It will be a fun tourney to watch in March

It's certainly a balanced enough conference that it wouldn't be a fluke loss for Davidson to lose in the conference tournament.  I have Davidson safely in but the teams you mentioned -- St. Louis, VCU, and Dayton -- as being on the fringe of the conversation of even being in the fringes now.  VCU in the first four out for me until tonight, but that was not a good loss to have when you are the wrong side of the bubble to begin with.  My system very slightly prefers Dayton to St. Louis right now, but they would currently be in the 10-12th team out region.  Such a strange resume that Dayton has.

edit:  forgot about St. Bonaventure -- I have their resume as basically the same as St. Louis.  My current cutline is +0.94;  Davidson is +2.51, VCU is -.01, Dayton -.25, St.Bonaventure -.45, and St. Louis -.47.  Basically that means I have Davidson being 1 1/2 current wins above what was necessary to receive an at large bid;  VCU is 1 win below what they need, and the others are a little bit more than 1 win than they needed.

Nebraska has to be one of the dumbest teams in the nation. 

Define "dumb".  Because there are different types of "Dumb", and I'm certain Nebraska has to embody the "eats glue" type of dumb right now.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs' Rule #99  --  Never spit at a fan.

After UCLA’s loss to Arizona on Thursday, a player was arrested and accused of spitting on a fan.

As the Bruins walked off the court, Mac Etienne appeared to spit at fans before a security guard pulled him aside. University of Arizona police took him into custody for assault, but didn’t release many more details.

University police public information officer Sgt. Sean Shields told ESPN the citation was for assault with “the intent to injure, provoke or insult” another person. Handcuffs weren’t used.

“We allowed him to go with the team back to the locker room,” Shields told Myron Medcalf. “And he was arrested for assault.”

UCLA responded to the incident late Thursday night.

“UCLA Athletics is committed to and expects the highest level of sportsmanship,” the school said in a statement. “We are aware of the incident involving a student-athlete at tonight’s men’s basketball game, and the matter is under review.”

Etienne, a redshirt freshman, hasn’t played yet this year for UCLA. He’s a former four-star recruit and was the No. 1 prospect from the state of New Hampshire from the Class of 2020, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

UCLA, the No. 3 team in the country, fell to No. 7 Arizona 76-66 Thursday night for its third loss of the season.

Classless and stupid thing to do, but arresting him is equally stupid. Charging a player with a crime for assault based on spitting is flat out idiotic.
