2-17 Weekday Games Thread and Seed List

[Hawksfor3]

I see ESPN has our mandatory Greensboro location and playing Duke in the 2nd round.

Bracket season hasn't begun until I see a Iowa vs Duke matchup in Greensboro.

Figures.

Smith about to put up 20 and 20 for Maryland.

40-38 Creighton 12:48 left over Marquette. Markus Howard with only 5.

Looks like a lot of empty seats in the upper deck of Wisconsin game. Let’s not complain about Carver attendance.

This was an early start-like an 11am start in FB. These are the same folks that only arrive in force in the 3rd quarter.

Creighton's on a tear.

They hit big shots in the end too.

Our game with Ohio St. Thursday is a must win.

Why? What do we permanently lose (other than the game) if we lose?

Lol I told you @Hawksfor3

Just to keep pace with those we are tied with!

Badgers and Illannoy seem to have the most favorable schedules of those tied for 3rd. If we want to finish in the top 4, I think we need to win 3 and finish 12-8. The Minny win makes that realistic, but still very tough, especially without CJ. OSU is one more huge game, for both teams, like just about every game in the B1G.

If Mr. Turd is monitoring our board. Are the Boilers a lock for the NIT?

Anyone hear Underwood yell out during the game
"how much money for Watkins?
was he directing it at Chambers?
Maybe I mis-heard..but Underwood does have history of having an assist directing cash to players at ok st.

Rutgers has a date with Michigan in Jersey tomorrow and will probably win IMO. That indicates to me that we really need to play very well against OSU tomorrow to keep pace with them and anyone else near us.

 

[HeRKeYHoPeFuL]

Really good results today for our resume. Wisconsin (#31) wins, and LSU (#29) loses; so we are likely to shift a win from Q2 to Q1. Similarly, Arkansas (#48) lost, and Cincinnati is sitting at #50, so we may see that neutral win shift from Q1 to Q2 tomorrow, as well.

 

[KuwaitHawk]

Flipped to the West Virginia game for about 2 minutes and hear one of the announcers say the B1G is overrated and if 10 or 11 teams get in the tournament it will be a travesty. Not 1 B1G team is good enough to make it to the final 4. Really dogging the conference and hyping the Big12.

Outside of Baylor and (cheating) Kansas, what does the L12 have?

But we could lose this one and still do that, right? If the other pacers lose some other game while we win, right?

Make it happen! I feel that as long as we protect home court, we'll have a better chance at a top 4 finish. As close as the race is to the top 4, we really can't afford to falter at home. It would be nice for the others to stumble as it sure would help us, but there's no guarantee of that. Now is the time that the cream rises to the top in conference. As Dan Dakich says, "The team(s) that are playing well now".

 

[SotaHawk87]

Third most quad one wins playing the toughest conference. We’re being undervalued by bracketologists in most cases which will be fun to see selection Sunday.

Did you catch where Andy Katz picked Maryland, PSU, Illinois, and Michigan State to get the double-bye?

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Michigan might pull off the win at Rutgers. Up 6 with just under 4mins left.

Rutgers undefeated at home this year

 

[Hawksfor3]

Wow Rutgers 1st home loss.

 

[bojihawk44]

Down goes Rutgers. Horrendous shooting down the stretch does them in. Iowa now in a 4 way tie for 3rd.

 

[bojihawk44]

And Auburn goes down at Georgia. Good night.

 

[SDHawkDoc]

Fun game to watch between cincy and ucf. Unfortunately for Iowa, cincy crumped at home in double OT to a ucf team that's barely over .500 on the year.

They will win more games. This one was a fluke.

I really hope in the end, Rutgers is below Iowa in the standings. Not a disaster if not, and I know Rutgers is a good team this year. But still, would be kinda depressing seeing them end up tied or above us. Bleh. They can just start losing now, except for the Maryland game / others that help us in the standings.

we’re not going to catch Maryland, so time to start pulling for the Terps when they play teams competing for 2nd and 3rd.

Duke sucks

Good point. Want them and teams at the bottom (NW and Neb) to win.

Wanting Neb to win....puke
