What a game

[str8baller]

If I were an Illinois fan, I’d be sick. They were up 8-10 with around 2 min to play

George Mason upsets Dayton

[pappy1865]

Trees without Swopes, Avila in foul trouble, and Conwell went down hard. Had a hodge podge lineup but finally won 83-64 against Valpo.

Looking through some scores looks like got some good replays to watch from earlier in the day.   New Mexico up 3 early in the first half

Seems like ESPN likes to cite Joe Lunardi's bracketology as 'gospel'......said if Mississippi loses tonight that they become the first team out and Gonzaga the last team in (according to Lunardi).

Always been that way.   Drives me crazy every time they do it but they pay the guy a lot to be the most recognizable bracketologist so they like to get their moneys worth.  Just like when they pushed BPI as the metric of choice since it’s their metric.    Glad they toned that down over the years

IU doing their part to ensure the B1G bubble teams get a solid Q2 road win for the resumes.   B1G will be grateful the contribution

Kentucky down 3 with 1:14 to go 

[LamarCheeks]

That shot by Dillingham was just insane.  

[LamarCheeks]

LSU up by 1. 

20 seconds to play. 

Kentucky ball.

Crazy finish in Baton Rouge. 

LSU wins 75-74

Ha.    lol.   Wow

Yep.  That said, I do know that Mississippi's metrics despite their 19-6 record aren't what the committee likes.  They do have 3 quad 1 wins but 15 of their 19 wins are quad 3 and 4.  Kind of a mixed bag of a schedule left -- right now down 8 at Mississippi State which would be a quad 1 loss.  Games left are South Carolina (quad 2), Alabama (quad 1), at Missouri (quad 3), at Georgia (quad 2), Texas A&M (quad 2).  Current NET is 67 which is more likely out than in.  If they lose tonight and only win two of their last five that  would put them at 21-10 overall but with poor efficiency metrics and not really that strong of an schedule.

Broken play.   With LSU winning on a scramble broken play.    Heck of a play to keep it in play to give them a chance at the winner.

Definitely.  I don’t have Ole Miss in as of now

Strong @$$ play.

I can watch LSU games now without wanting them to lose.  McNeese gets most my hate now because of their Strong A.. coach

My ratings like them but I know what I give value doesn't rate as high to the committee.  They've accumulated wins and I rate wins v. overall schedule and what specific teams you won and lost or margin of victory.
