Providence has played so many OT games in the last two years that Ed Cooley must be pulling his hair out.*

*I apologize in advance.

Xavier trying to fend off Seton Hall. Up 64-61 with 4:42 left

X up 2, minute left. The Hall shooting FTs

[johnsoniu]

X survives. Seton hall with a nice full court inbound play with 3.7 seconds left, got a clean look at a 3 that would’ve tied it

I feel like 8 or 9 of the big East teams can beat each other. Clearly big home court advantages in all college basketball. But it’s a solid conference this year.

Agreed. It was good last year, 6 bids, but i think it’s a little deeper this year. It was my favorite conference to watch last year after the MWC. Very competitive games, as mentioned above, seems like providence is in an OT game weekly.

Big 12 this year will be ridiculous.  All 10 teams in the NET top 75.  Every team has a chance at making the tourney

Probably a 3-5 bid conference this year though. UConn, Xavier, Marquette, St Johns and Providence are probably the schools with the best chances.

Iupui’s big win yesterday was only good enough to move up 2 spots to 360th in the NET.   I would have guess they would have moved up more after beating the 250th team.    Tough to crawl out of the very bottom of the NET 

[Uspshoosier]

Iowa is down 9 to E Illinois with 8:32 to go.   Probably on big 10 + so can’t watch

Commerce went from 250 to 286.

Iowa was a 30+ point favorite and they are down 13 with 3:39 to go.   Doesn’t always go as planned when you play cupcakes even when you have injured players

Marty!

Tell me Iowa is losing to a cupcake without telling me Iowa is losing to a cupcake 

[cthomas]

Sounds like a lump of coal.

[Redcamaro]

Iowa down 11 with 1:30 left.

I did a double take when I saw this. Eastern Illinois is 348 in Kenpom...after winning the game. That's 5 spots below Elon and 1 spot below Bethune-Cookman.

The silly thing is, Iowa will probably still beat at least 6 or 7 Big Ten teams at home "because that's life on the road in the Big Ten."
