In another game where I had heart attacks, the Wildcats take down the Huskies in what has to be the game of the year. Derrick Williams swatted aside the game winner with .2 seconds left

DWill. You won't.

Big win for Purdue taking down OSU, E'Twaun Moore was amazing with 38 points.

Absolutely beautiful. I don't know how D-Will hasn't received more attention than he has yet, but maybe now he will. Good week for Arizona athletics: Chol, Savage, and sweeping the Washington schools.

Alright, Duke best be #1 by this time tomorrow.

Cal drops UCLA in overtime, meaning Arizona now has a two-game lead in the Pac-10.

[RyanMcD29]

Let me get this straight. Cal beats an unranked UCLA team, and they storm the court? Geez, the grounds for storming the court ain't what they used to be

How 'bout Cincy takin' down Georgetown in double digits at Verizon Center? I would've been there, but since the game was at 9:00 it would've been a huge hassel.

'Twas the biggest win of the year for them. Good to see Yancy Gates mentally come back for a big game. I'll be at the UConn game on Sunday. While the Georgetown win was solid, I think a win over UConn would definitely get the Cats off the bubble, and 100% in the tournament.

Look out for a @dukeblueplanet video coming soon of one of my rehab sessions...I'm definitely op(toe)mistic!!

Kyrie Irving's Twitter a few days ago. I'm thinking comeback. Please.

Agreed. Although for the time being they're most certainly in, a win against UConn would be HUGE. We could even get ranked like St. Johns before the Tourney.

This is the most excited I've been for March in a long, long time. Can't wait to see how we could fare in the tourney...

And have fun at the game, it should be a good one.

Ohhhhhh! Ohhhhhhh! Ohhhhhhhh! (bum bum bum bum) UC!!!!!!!!!!

I know it's a bit old, but Caltech just ended its 310 conference losing streak. Ouch, losing every conference game since 1985!

[NEW.ERA]

The Score has pretty much lost everything, TSN now has the rights to show the Tourney in Canada!

In other news, big win for a bubble school as Marquette beats UConn in OT

I actually remember watching the tourney on The Score last year in Canada. I watched Butler beat Kansas State... at the Air Canada Centre. I thought to myself... "WTF. I'm leaving Canada to fly home to watch Butler?"

[ninersdd]

VERY inexcusable performance tonight by the Cats, losing to a team they ran out of the gym the last time they played. Hoping for a bounceback against a better team in UCLA

[Kevin W.]

Arizona is going to play angry and we're going to murder UCLA. Count on it.

Considering it's Ivy/MAAC Friday, I pose this question

If let's say Harvard beats Princeton but the Tigers win out and the Crimson drop a game, the head-to-head's tied, do they go into a tie-break championship game to decide the bid? Remember the Ivy League's the only conference without a tournament.

As for the MAAC, I think Farfield's more or less got that locked up.

[cameroncrazie07]

Wouldn't they look at conference records also?

[RyanMcD29]

That's the point, Harvard and Princeton would be deadlocked at 12-2 and head-to-head would be 1-1 under that scenario. You need an Ivy League degree just to figure things out in the Ivy League if they don't do a tiebreak game

Yep. If Harvard and Princeton finished up tied in the Ivy League race, it'll go down to a one game winner takes all playoff. It's been done before, and in one occasion in women's basketball, there was a three team playoff where #3 played #2 with the winner playing #1.

As for the MAAC: Yes, Fairfield has it all locked up (They're one of the first teams to clinch a conference championship along with Vermont in America East and Belmont in the Atlantic Sun). The nice thing about this is that should the Stags choke in the MAAC tourny, they'll get an automatic bid to the NIT (This goes to all low-major conferences except for the Great West, whose tourny winner goes to the CollegeInsider.Com Tourny).
