3/6 Games Thread

Duane Washington played those last few minutes like he wanted to prove he was still the alpha. Liddell didn’t get as many looks as he should’ve late.

The goal now is to lock up the top overall 2 seed.

Would hopefully set up round 3 between us and Illinois. Hopefully.

I hope Lunardi is full of *, because - should it happen - tell me how an ILL team that loses on BTT-QF Friday to an Indiana team stays a #1 in the Big Dance vs an Iowa team that finished the season winning 10 of 11 (only loss @ a #1 seed [Michigan]), including 3 road games and 3 neutral site games and beating a 1-seed in Michigan in the BTT final?

I don't see the Hawks' NET rating being outside the Top4/5 if they win tomorrow and win the BTT [going through WIS/PSU/NEB, ILL/MD/IND and MI/PUR/OSU], but who knows.


They kept harping that with the win today, no matter what they do in Indy at the BTT, Illinois cemented its 1-seed status for the Big Dance - according to Lunardi. But if OSU had won, it would have changed seed lines with ILL.

If an OSU win today would have swapped ILL/PSU on the 1/2 lines, then ILL is not "cemented" into its 1-seed status, IMO.

All Hawks can do is keep winning like we’re already in the tournament games and it will all work out just fine

Once theyre actually in the tournament, then winning is all they can do.

Next few games really don't matter in the big picture.

After today's result, Alabama is our biggest competition for that spot.
 
Arkansas currently in a battle with kenpom #130 Texas A&M.

Just reversed an incorrect block call against A&M.
 
Duke is going to finish the regular season .500 in conference and .500 overall. What do you want to bet they get in as a 12 seed?
 
Agreed - they have been lacking a very good coach/recruiter ever since Self headed to KU. I think Underwood might have found a home and like you, I have no bone to pick with him...
For the record, I didn't think Bruce Weber was that bad, basically IL's version of Dr. Tom Davis. Both guys in the end just didn't have enough recruiting prowess...IMHO
