NCAA Championship Week

Minnesota ahead of Northwestern, 31-25 at the half.

This game also has big at-large implications. A Gophers win probably takes them of the bubble. The Wildcats need a deep run in the Big Ten Tourney.

30-13 Baylor now.

Unreal. That's what makes these three weeks so special! :up

With Cleveland St. beating Butler, the "bubble" got one team smaller, due to that conference getting an unexpected slot in the tournament. Minnesota's chances may have been shot when they lost to MICHIGAN for the second time last Saturday. MICHIGAN is also on the "bubble".

Lots of bubble games in the Big Ten tournament. Minnesota and Northwestern are playing what amounts to an elimination game right now and Michigan and Penn State have must wins today too.

 

[BillD1984]

I think Michigan is in as long as they don't get upset by Iowa later today.

IMO, that win AT Minnesota put the Wolverines over the top. They also have two huge OOC wins: Duke and UCLA.

Anders,
I agree with one caveat, IMO, this is a play-IN game for Minnesota and a play-OUT game for Northwestern.

 

[anders5189]

I agree Bill. Michigan would be in today, but a loss to Iowa could be a dealbreaker. Minnesota is in better shape than Northwestern, who probably needs 2 wins to get in.

 

[Ramy]

Do you really want to know?

If they are winning, then yes.

 

[Paul Wozniak]

I've seen better teams not get into the tournament. Selection Sunday always holds a few surprises.

 

[Derwin0]

If they are winning, then yes.

Must be why no one is saying anything

Actually it's been a good game, back and forth.

So THAT's where Robert Morris is! I thought it was an upstate NY school.

My sister teaches there part time.

 

[BillD1984]

Minnesota up by 1 with about 4 minutes left.

Oh yeah, the "sister". You sure are going a long way to cover up the fact that you are a closet Penn St. fan.

 

[BillD1984]

Halftime: Tulsa 41, Rice 17

LOL.

 

[BillD1984]

Kentucky ahead of Ole Miss at the half, 38-36.

 

[BillD1984]

Minnesota to advance and play Michigan St. tomorrow.

I think this puts the Gophers into the Big Dance.

Northwestern is heading for the SAT.

Not the SAT. :haha Looks they'll have company with Providence and Miami.
