Games of Interest - Sadie Hawkins Day edition

[BeKnighted]

An extra day of basketball this February!


Big Ten

#14 Northwestern 75 Illinois 58 – Wildcats clinch share of B1G regular season title*
Ohio State 77 Purdue 56 – as mentioned elsewhere, this means RU finishes 5th with a win and 7t with a loss

*I think they lose the tiebreak for the #1 seed if the Terps win tomorrow.

Morgan State 68 Coppin State 42 – never particularly close
Cornell 55 Harvard 47 - Crimson season spiraling rapidly
Alcorn State 58 Southern 53 – Hall had 13 and 9 to lead the Lady Braves

#6 Connecticut 92 Houston 40 – 25 wins for the Huskies

I did my part today giving T Mac and Wallace my 2 cents at the R Fund event. lol.
Told T Mac how much I just love watching her play and W how important her in the paint play has been of late. (at least they smiled and didn't drop their food plates)...

the rest is up to CVS and the crew. Go RU! A win would be AWESOME BABY!

BeK - Big 12 has 2 games to go. Don't mean to suggest that Baylor won't end the conference season undefeated - but they didn't do it yet.

I don't have a lot of hope for Chicago State either, Madhat. Arizona played them. Not the only dreadful team out there but at least every team has at least one win.

Oddly enough, Morgan Valley, the head coach of Hartford, which won their first game in their last game (don't qualify for conference tourney) was in Arizona Friday for the Stanford game - she was an assistant for us last year. Boy did she jump in the flames at Hartford.

Oops - I try to check before I say things like that, but obviously I forgot to do that.
