1st ticket to the Dance going to be punched tonight . - - OVC Championship tonight , Belmont vs Morehead State , 1 vs 2 - -& so it begins. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Liberty already punched the 1st ticket once North Alabama reached the A-SUN title game because they aren’t eligible for the NCAA Tournament yet so Liberty gets the A-SUN bid regardless of the outcome tomorrow.
, sorry bout that. Thought this was 1st one
-
Yesterday, Bracketology had us playing Liberty in the first round. A scary prospect, since two years ago they pulled another one of those 12-v-5 seed “upsets.”
To further complicate things, that bracket had the winner playing either Wichita State or Colorado (coached by KU’s Tad Boyle). Of course, today’s results changed all that, but it would’ve been an interesting scenario.
-
just checked today Bracketology. Got to say and I know it won’t be like this BUT I got to say if it did , I wouldn’t have any problem with that region at all for the 1st couple of rounds I’d go ahead and take our Chances Region 3 , Michigan # 1 seed and we would be in the upper half with them - -But 1st round would have us matched up with Colgate - - & then We could play the winner of the Colorado/Toledo game I would take my chances up to that point
-
Well Grimes seems to have settled in pretty good at Houston, watching their game against Memphis. - -Grimes is number 3 in the Nation in making over 3 - -3pt goals a game , dam forgot what they were saying for what but he is in the finalists one of five guys they were saying doing with some kind of Naismith award - doing ok I guess
-
Gotta give some props for our former boy - - Brett Ballard Coach -they won their game last night against Northwest - with a last second right about half court shot. - -Sports Center top 10 0:36 video saw it on TOS check it out pretty cool
-
Dam what a game between Houston & Memphis. - -Memphis down 3 with 9.3 seconds to go - - dude put up terrible 3 point attempt for Memphis but Memphis get the rebound kicks out to Boogie Ellis drains the three and tied with 1.7 seconds , Houston calls time out. - -gets the ball to half court Dude catches it and drains a 3 to win the game for Houston - - - crazy
-
This dance is going to be wide open… Calling it, neither the Zags or Baylor will win it. Call me jaded, but we have a chance. Look out for UNC also, a tough out for anyone. Another one, Syracuse. Cinderella is going to love this tournament.
-
That Houston-Memphis ending was crazy…
I’m going to reserve judgement until all of the teams are seeded and I can look at potential match-ups, but I feel like Baylor will go furthest in the tournament. One of the best defensive teams with NBA guards that can go 1-on-1 and get a basket. That tends to translate well in March. As for Kansas, I’ll be happy if they win more than 1 game.

lol , ya let’s hope so. - -That dam team as a whole is leading the Nation in 3 point shooting - -very Dangerous
-
Well , Well heard this just now. Coming out of Maryland reporter commenting and saying that two Coaching jobs looking like going to come available, not sure if after this year - - or next but reporting that Sean Miller due to NCAA - -and then are you Ready ? - - -drummmmmmm roll lol - - - OL Squeaky /Bruce Weber - K/State retirement - -hmmmmm, well maybe he is getting up there in age, heard this off our Local sports station here in Topeka. - Not sure where this guy got that information from but something to see if that plays out. - -Brucie gone after this yr - - next year ?
-
Well I know it’s only one half BUT still fun to watch for the half - - Gonzaga getting made look silly , too easy BYU hung 53 points on them in the 1st half - - 53 , shot 70 % - how’s that for defense 70 % shooting by BYU. Wide open looks , easy drives in the lane -BYY up 53-41 at the half. – I know 2nd half I’m sure will be different but dam BYU slapped that ass in the 1st half
-
But, yes. Gonzaga comes back in the 2nd half to beat BYU. Another double-digit win. Wouldn’t want to play the Cougars in the tournament though.
-
@nwhawkfan agree. They would be a tough out.
-
Zags’ year, me thinks.
And I kinda hope so, cuz I am sick of references to Bobby Knight and Indiana!
-
@mayjay Was Few a Knight assistant?

Knight’s '76 team was the last undefeated team.

Oh okay, I knew that… A total brain cloud.

Haven’t heard any Bobby Knight chatter recently, but it’ll be a LONG DAMN TIME before we hear the end of John Wooden and his 4 season undefeated run.
Also, I still think the Zags will
chokehave a stinker game in the tourney once they play a team with 5 good players.*(*not sure what team that is)
-
@DanR The only team really built to beat Gonzaga is Baylor this season because of their team defense. Gonzaga is battle test this season. They couldn’t play Baylor or Illinois in the regular season, but they still played Kansas, West Virginia, Iowa, and Virginia and all 4 of those games were on neutral courts.
-
ESPN running with “duke lurking” for the tournament after beating Louisville.
-
They’re going to be devastated if Duke loses to Florida St today.
-
I am so rooting for Florida State, and looking forward to Coach K and his team being too good for and therefore turning down an NIT invite.
-
FSU fans are already prepared for the Duke whistle. It’s not just us that see it.
-
Duke has a positive player test and will not play tonight.
-
If the NCAA gives them a tourney birth, it will be one of the least deserving teams I can remember.

Screw fricken Duke and bone nose that goes with them
-
just saw a trailor where Duke is out of the ACC tourney
-
Hahahaha
-
@Kcmatt7 A 10-day quarantine would keep Duke out of the first round of the NCAA tournament, so it might not even matter what the selection committee wants. The NCAA really should have had a longer break between conference tournaments and the NCAA tournament for situations like this. I have a feeling Duke will not be the last team affected by a positive test.
-
@BeddieKU23 said in Non-KU Games Thread:
Hahahaha
check out under the thread what I posted on rumors. - tells why and what happened. - found it off the Duke message board
-
The NCAA stated you need 5 eligible players to compete in the tournament yesterday.
-
You hate to see it. What an end to their season
-
@BeddieKU23 Right, but as it’s a player who tested positive and was with the team, I think all of Duke’s roster has to now 10-day quarantine.
-

Thanks for clarifying it was a player. Reading Duke’s board it was a player who didn’t play last night. Most likely Patrick Tape or a walk-on.
-
Looks like it was a walk-on. Ouch.
-
Anyway, there is no way that Duke should be in the tournament. If they get in people will hear my scream reverberating all across our great nation
!
-
Boy , Culver just doesn’t look good on the floor. Really laboring , saying he is sick - -barely making it up the floor a lot of times - feel bad for him , he is struggling but he trying
-
It looks like the refs have suspended the dribbling requirement for the big 12 tourney. Lebron rules.
-
Danny Manning doing commentary between games today on ESPN2.
-
Syracuse and Kentucky losing within minutes of one another makes me happy.
Kentucky finishes 9-16 on the season.
-
No Duke, no Kentucky…if this keeps up we’re going to run out of teams to hate on
-
BTW…with that loss UK has 2,327 all-time wins. KU now at 2,321.
-
Nova loses to Georgetown. Nova close to us on the s-curve so that is helpful.
-
Foul

-
ESPN still Boo Hooing about poor ol Duke - -how it was so sad - how they weren’t going to be in the tourney - just slobbering all over the place - - Oh I feel so bad that Duke not making the tourney - so fed up hearing this crap. - -SOOOO who’s bandwagon kiss butt team that ESPN going to jump on their bandwagon now? - -No Kentucky , No Duke an in reality Michigan I don’t think belongs but they are going to get in So who will it be
