St. John's throws the ball away needed a three to tie.  Creighton will win.

Never a dull moment watching St Johns

St. John's actually got a shot up to tie -- and a decent look.  Rims out, Creighton wins by three.

Well, over to Duke/Virginia to watch Virginia play effective but dull basketball.

Ryan Hawkins has been a great transfer pickup for Creighton.   D2 player who used extra year to play up and Creighton is glad he did

Couple of good endings possibly coming in the ACC -- Syracuse/Notre Dame and Duke/Virginia.

Looks like Michigan will do us a favor tonight

Michigan coasting to a win

Guess we pump the brakes on Rutgers. If IU wins next two and Rutgers loses to Wisconsin that game in Bloomington may be a play-in game for NCAA Tourney.

Rutgers is the ultimate Jekyll and Hide team. They can literally beat or lose to anyone. Both us and them are fighting for NCAA lives.

Worth mentioning that coming into tonight, Rutgers' NET ranking was worse than Northwestern's.  NET isn't end-all in selecting teams, but outside of the covid year I think there might not have been teams in the 80s of NET to make the tourney.

They seem to beat the good and lose to the bad.  Michigan tonight sans their head coach and two rotational players would fall more into the latter.

So the key for us to beat Rutgers is to be playing poorly, I guess.

Duke looking like a winner at UVA.

Another good one for IU.

TCU laying an offensive egg in the second half against Texas.  Texas up 59-53 with four minutes left.

[RaceToTheTop]

Clemson up 6 on Wake Forest, under a minute left.  Really good games tonight so far.

[RaceToTheTop]

Two free throws for Duke locks it up.  Think Virginia needed that one to get in the conversation.  Their last two games -- Florida St, at Louisivlle -- don't help that much.

Condensation on the floor at Providence causing a delay -- watering leaking from the roof.  Game under delay, 2:43 left, Xavier up 3.  Looks like it could be a long delay.

Happened a couple years ago too.  You think they would've fixed that back then!

[Ryno6284]

Xavier had huge momentum going into that delay as well!  We think Wisky has the Home cookin'!  lol

West Virginia throws away an inbounds pass up one, Iowa State hoop.  West Virginia ball, down 1, 22.6 seconds left.

[RaceToTheTop]

West Virginia with a shot and three tip in tips, all missed.  Iowa State at the line, 8 seconds left up 1.

I would've thought we wanted the Rut to win so us beating them would look better?
