I'll say it again: is there a more overrated team in this conference than OSU? 

I can’t help but feel that way as well.  I’ve tried to get on board with the notion of them being an outstanding team but I just don’t see it.  They have a loss to Northwestern, got swept by Purdue, lost four in a row to end the season, and if not for that burst at the beginning of today’s game they would have gotten beat by the 13 seed in our conference tournament.  They are also a fairly average shooting team and I don’t know that they have a go-to bucket getter.  That doesn’t sound like an NCAA tournament 2 seed to me. 

And, as I believe it was USPS that pointed out earlier, their resume is heavily boosted by so many of their Q1 wins being on the road in a year where winning on the road isn’t as difficult as it is any other year.  The opponent NET cutoff for a quad 1 win on the road remains 2.5 times lower than that for a home game (not that I expected them to adjust it for this one year).  Credit to them for getting those wins since none come easy in the conference, but they are kind of gaming the quad system to likely get a NCAA tournament 2 seed. 

Not to mention they likely won’t benefit from the B1G style of officiating in the NCAA tournament.  Having their games officiated by crews from other conferences might result in early foul trouble, and Kyle Young won’t be allowed to be a pro wrestler on the court in the NCAA tournament.

Sorry for the rant, I’ve thought the same thing for a few weeks now and thought I was the only one.

Kansas is going to win it 

there are games where I think Reaves from Oklahoma is the best player on the court and then others where he completely shoots and plays his team out of the game    This was one of those games at the end

Missouri up 1 on Georgia with 8 sec.   if someone is watching with sound what happened with the Georgia lane violation?

Side note from watching Tech all year.  They are no doubt a good defensive team but they get away with a ton of fouling throughout a game.  They basically beat the crap out of the other team and fall down to try and draw a charge every other play.   They play hard but I’m thinking Beards defensive reputation comes into play.

12:30 and Walton on the call for the final game of the night.
