thespleenenator Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Wow, that was HUGE win for the Ducks. With that, they clinched a first round bye in the pac-12 tournament, and I believe if they beat Utah, they'll puch their ticket to the dance. Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me. I cry tears.Chopping off the dicks of Filipino boys and embracing causes that promote bigotry =/= strong moral character.

Conference Championships begin today.Big South Championship#7 VMI Keydets at #1 UNC-Asheville BulldogsRecordsVMI: 17-15 (8-10)UNCA: 23-9 (16-2)At this time last year, UNC Asheville was the underdog heading into the title game at heavily favored Coastal Carolina, but the Bulldogs prevailed and went on to win in the First Four. This season, they are now the hunted as the top seed in the newly expanded Big South tournament. With the advantage of the brand new Kimmel Arena, UNCA is gunning for back-to-back conference titles against the run and gun VMI Keydets, who won three games in four days to reach this game.Ohio Valley Championship - Nashville, TN#2 Tenneesee State Tigers vs. #1 Murray State RacersRecordsTNST: 20-11 (11-5)MURR: 29-1 (15-1)It's the rubber match between the Tigers and Racers, who split their season series during the regular season.

Already got my VMI gear on, and hoping to wear it to Columbus (if I can tickets, and I get lucky to see them win and play there). I'm also eager to see the A-Sun Game and get a feel for what the conference is like, as NKU heads there next year.If both FGCU & VMI win, we could see them in a First Four matchup in Dayton.

WJMorris3 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 If Murray State loses the OVC championship, I have a feeling the NCAA will send them to the NIT.

ninersdd Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 You probably know this, but if you're a fan of a bubble team like I am, you have to root for teams like Murray State so the teams that beat them won't take away a slot from another bubble team.

Seadragon76 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 You can add Belmont to the list of teams who have an automatic bid. It's not the same team from a year ago, but don't count out the Bruins.Outside of those games...-Wichita State got stunned by Illinois State. The Redbirds now get Creighton in tomorrow's title game in St. Louis.-Somewhere in Indiana, crashcarson is smiling like that damn cat from Alice in Wonderland right now... Why? Butler is getting their asses handed to them by Valpo (as of this moment, it's a 21 point lead for Valpo with under 6 minutes left)-Harvard won... But so did Penn. It comes down to Tuesday's Penn-Princeton game in the Ivy League. Princeton wins and Harvard is going dancing. Penn wins and Harvard will get a serious case of deja vu (in other words, a one game playoff). Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that, they clinched a first round bye in the pac-12 tournament, and I believe if they beat Utah, they'll puch their ticket to the dance.Not quite. Lunardi currently has the Ducks the first four out, and has 3 other Pac-12 teams in(Cal, UW, and Arizona). In the grand scheme of things, beating the Utes doesn't matter regardless of the pounding you put on them. The Cats tomorrow should beat the Scum Devils, where a loss would probably crush their at-large chances. In the conference tourney next week, the Cats drew a tough matchup in UCLA, cause they are a much bigger team, and looked good this past week.(99% certain it will be the Bruins cause they will beat 1 win USC in the first round). Pretty simple for the Cats IMO, win tomorrow and Thursday(And hope there are no bid thieves from smaller conferences), and we''ll be able to relax come Selection Sunday.Link to the Bracketology:Current Bracketology BEAR DOWN ARIZONA!2013/14 Tanks Picks Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
