Vanderbilt beats Florida; Rutgers BEATS Illini; IU BEATS Ohio State; Maryland BEAT Mich State

[Franisdaman]

Obviously we want the Illini and Vanderbilt to lose.

Who do we want to win the other 2 games to help our RPI, our seeding in the BTT, etc?

Today's Outcome, RPI's and Lunardi's seedings, going into today's games:

WON 24 Maryland, 8 SEED
LOST 45 Michigan State, 9 SEED
WON 51 Vanderbilt (16-14. 9-8)--LAST 4 IN
LOST 56 Illinois--FIRST 4 OUT
LOST 67 Ohio State--N/A
76 Iowa--NEXT 4 OUT
WON 94 Indiana--N/A
96 Penn State--N/A
WON 177 Rutgers--N/A

Indiana winning at OSU cause road wins mean more.

Maryland to beat MSU

good call on the Rutgers game!

 

[ShawneeHawk 1]

Thank you Rutgers!!!

 

[Ronman]

Illinois goes down, basically because the officials took a look at a jump ball situation when Abrams was standing on the end line giving the ball back to Rutgers to reverse their original call. Makes you go hmmm.

 

[lovedwatchingLester]

See what happens when you look

i MISSED THAT; WAS IT A TIE UP BUT ABRAMS WAS OUT OF BOUNDS?

It was the correct call.

Rutgers coach appears to be legit!!!

Clarification: The refs looked at the replay there not do determine if it was a jump ball (because no jump ball was called) but rather to determine who had touched the ball last on a out of bound call. Thus, it was done under proper protocol and the correct call was made.

 

[Franisdaman]

CYA MANBUN!!!!!!

I love man buns!

4 straight non Big Dance appearances for Illinois; Groce is out??

 

[SotaHawk87]

Groce is gone

As a Rutgers fan the refs did not screw us for once.

yes it took the monitor to correct the call made by .......none other than THE BEAVER...name sound familiar? The guy is horrible...he cost us the Minny game.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE watching the Illiniwhiny go down in flames!! How we lost that pathetic team twice is beyond comprehension. Now, let's just have our boys take care of business this next week and make selection Sunday fun again!!!

GO HAWKS!!!

RPI's, going into today's games:

24 Maryland
45 Michigan State
56 Illinois
67 Ohio State
76 Iowa
94 Indiana
96 Penn State
177 Rutgers

Based on what I have seen Iowa is going to win the B1G Tournament and thus they will receive the automatic bid. Iowa has beat all of the top teams in the B1G. Wisconsin and Maryland have faded down the stretch. The Hawkeyes, could arguably, be playing their best basketball of the season.

 

[anon_i8nzeu2gbf0ba]

Congrats to Rutgers for playing with heart and hitting the HUGE three to send the Cryin' Illini back to the shadows where they belong. Well done, Scarlet Knights. Hawkeyes everywhere thank you.

BTW: They say Vandy, at 16-14 / 8-9 is IN the NCAA field, pending the outcome of their game vs. Florida that is underway right now. How in the hell can that be? SIXTEEEN and FOURTEEN gets you to the NCAA? Really? Wow. Of course, if they lose to Florida and drop to 16 and 15 (8 /10), then the point is moot . . . maybe.

Congrats on the progress you have made this season!

 

[El Simbolo]

We definitely want Maryland to win, right? Makes that win look better and since we pldyed then twice it helps our RPI a little right?

 

[StormHawk42]

This nonsense about Vandy being in needs to stop. Hopefully Florida finishes them off today.

 

[Franisdaman]

Groce is gone

He gone?

Are you serous????? Can't make this S#!% up

Currently, they are a top 25 rpi win for us. On the road. I would say yea, Maryland can keep on winning until we need to play them again.

gotta make shots; what worries me is tired legs on day 2; then on day 3; and what would day 4 look like?

They can't find him

yes, beating them on the road and them winning today would help our RPI

To tell the truth, they're not looking real hard.

Down goes Florida

 

[Franisdaman]

Ugh;

51 RPI Vanderbilt (17-14. 10-8) beats Florida--they were part of "LAST 4 IN" going in today, per Joe Lunardi.

I still don't get this one; Vandy is part of the very weak SEC
