[cicero grimes]

NC state looks good early. Will their legs hold out.

 

[shields]

Didn't Florida Atlantic beat Zona this year? That is a damn good win.

 

[cicero grimes]

No line yet on mgm on temple uab.

 

[bac2therac]

AZ and Texas A&M....2-2 in Q1 but 2 Q4 loss and now Q3 loss

 

[bac2therac]

Don’t understand.

You have St John’s as first 4 out ?

scrub coming overnight...eye test factored in........we shall see

 

[fatsam98]

AZ and Texas A&M....2-2 in Q1 but 2 Q4 loss and now Q3 loss

Right... Bryant, Florida Gulf Coast, and now Temple. Maybe this is Q2 but lost at Charlotte too

 

[fatsam98]

St Peters up one on Fairfield

This is not good news for Purdue

 

[fatsam98]

MAC game is close too, Kent State and Akron

 

[G- RUnit]

Really strong bubble.

With parity, strong argument for expanding field.

 

[bac2therac]

beyond the first 4 out, its not

 

[bac2therac]

St Peters up one on Fairfield

This is not good news for Purdue

lean toward 15 for them over 16 this time, there are some really bad teams this year sub 500

it will be between Longwood and Peters

 

[fatsam98]

Well SP in process of choking away a late 9 point lead

 

[bac2therac]

wtf after Kent State goes up 61-60 after the inbound, dumbass kent state player fouls up 1 with 4 seconds left having no clue his team was winning. Akron wins

I'm happy for Groce. I always liked him when he was at Illinois. Seems like a good dude

 

[bac2therac]

St Peters back to the dance

 

[cicero grimes]

St Peter's with a nailbiter.

 

[bac2therac]

NC State up 52-48 with under 15 to go

 

[BigEastPhil]

St Peter’s too physical for Fairfield.

That’s Peacocks forte.

Peacocks can play D. Just have to hope they don't get pressed.

Oh.
My.
God.

the Kent State AD already placed him in the portal

will Edey and company get their revenge this year?

 

[G- RUnit]

I’m no BAC but re-considering Oklahoma and Dayton?

There are lots of deserving teams going to be left out. Feel for ISU, USF, Princeton.
I still like to reward great years. Dont get worked up over OOC when schools won’t play or won’t do home and home. Reward schools with great records or long winning streaks and regular season conference winner.

Fully aware I am pontificating. Like Derek Simpson! ;-). Justified of course!

 

[bac2therac]

Oregon up 3 on Colorado at half

 

[fatsam98]

Some good games tonight. Tons of drama to come

 

[G- RUnit]

It’s so much fun, why better than college football, and I love college football.

 

[SHUSource]

Buttholes are puckered up even more in South Orange and the rest of the bubble

Can confirm.

 

[RUinPinehurst]

Nah. But it's the perfect complement to CFB.

 

[biazza38]

NC State up 10 under 4
My goodness

 

[shields]

Go State.

 

[bac2therac]

NC State up 10

 

[huskersalways]

@bac2therac a question on brackets.
There seems to be several teams that wouldn’t make the tournament without winning their conference tournament.
Say NC St. beat MC and gets the auto bid. Now I realize it likely knocks another team out that was “on the edge” but does it ever affect say a 10 seed that becomes a 9 because of upsets by these teams?

 

[biazza38]

Hahaha the ACC has been doing this.
Ever since Duke stopped winning the ACC tournament, random teams have been reaching the finals

 

[fatsam98]

Oregon up 5. This year is wild

 

[BigEastPhil]

Serenity now. Lol. Funny !

 

[Mr Magoo]

That one idiot fan screaming is unbearable

NC State likely is 11 if precidence from a couple years back when Va Tech made a similar run with similar metrics. That at least in my bracket will push Drake to a 10 seed and NC State will be on the 11 line with James Madison. The 4 plays ins will remain as 11s

It has to affect somebody. NC State coach might have been fired. Steals a bid from somebody

Some bracketologists suggesting a play in game for 10 seed. Has that ever happened?
