Houston pulls it out with an overtime win over Texas.

Interesting. Would have just assumed that Edey’s effect alone would have had PU dominating at the rim.

South Carolina surprise team of the year for me. Leading Tenn at Tenn with Ten minutes left. Ten-four good fellas

I thought they were fools good that beat up on some bad teams early in the year but watching them play in the SEC they are definitely a tourney quality team.  Johnson from Ohio St is having a good year for them

Nova was down 20 in the first half at home and now early in second half they are only down 1

Crazy that msu has one of the three point spots since they’re the second worst team from 3 in conf besides us.

Same. Keep waiting on them to fade.

Not going to be tonight.  

[LamarCheeks]

South Carolina (18-3) got no love from pollsters after crushing No. 6 Kenducky at home. 

Now, they'll have to -- a 4-point win AT No. 5 Tennessee.

Massive win for them.    Probably will move up the seed line by at least 1 or 2 full lines

Illinois 86-75 win over O$U in Columbus.

Holtmans days are numbered. And if a PG named Thornton becomes available I wouldn’t cry about it.

ESPN just showed the non-con SoS for the Big 12 teams. Pathetic. Only two teams in the top 100. Most were 250 or worse. Greenburg called them out for trying to manipulate the NET rankings

Mr NIT calling anyone out for non-con scheduling is rich

I don’t like Greenberg, but he was right on this one. And it was funny to hear him say it aloud. He basically said they schedule a bunch of terrible teams and try and blow them out to pump up their efficiency numbers. And when half your conference is 300+ in SoS it isn’t a bad point. 

[LIHoosier]

Really, off and def efficiency needs to be capped or take out the best and worst 10% of possessions so that you get a fair idea of a teams strength without having teams keep starters in to pop 100 vs NW Oklahoma Holy Bible School.
