NCAA Championship Week

STOP THE PRESSES!!!!!

DePaul (0-18 in the Big East) is tied with Cincinnati, 41-41 with 12 minutes left!

If Louisville wins the Big East tournament, I wonder if they will get a #1 seeding? Somehow I don't see the NCAA awarding the Big East three #1's.

Pitt is a lock for a #1 period, Louisville is a lock IF they win the BE Tourney, and finally UConn is a lock if they beat Pitt in the semi's.

I also think UConn gets a #1 if they win their first game, lose to Pitt, AND Louisville doesn't win the tourney.

That sounds about right. Good job Bill.

Now that you put it that way, the ACC looks like the Sisters of the Poor!

It is impressive, but the ACC has 3 teams in the Top 10 too with someone being numero uno.

Thanks :up

Yup, the big boys don't start til Thursday (a few start tomorrow).

Remember MSG is Pitt's second home.

I think they are 22-8 there.

That would be cool.

By three points, the closest margin ever to end a season.

The ACC and the Big East are head and shoulders above all the other conferences, again. I do believe that MSU will have a good run in the tourney. Izzo has them peaking at the right time. A #1 seed still remains an outside possibility for them. It would take a few losses to fall into place. Maybe if Louisville and Oklahoma make early exits in their conference tournaments, and there still would be Memphis St. in the way. A number 2 seed in a region close to home would be welcome, however. MSU would be tough to beat in Detroit.

Depends who's playing them. 98-63 wasn't too tough.

The Spartans are definitely a Final Four threat.

They beat Pitt last year.

DePaul up by 7 with three minutes left.

Man has Cincinnati fallen off the map!

 

[Paul Wozniak]

I remember, I took Pitt over MSU in the pool. It was the beginning of the end for me.

 

[BillD1984]

Central Michigan ahead of Eastern Michigan, 52-44 with five minutes left in the first round of the MAC.

Cincy wasn't that good this year.

Same here, I took Pitt to the Final four last year, man did my picks suck as usual.

 

[BillD1984]

DePaul beats Cincinnati, and avoids becoming the first Big East team ever to go 0-19.
