Coach K uncertain whether Allen and Jefferson will play Tuesday. Says Jefferson is having trouble running:
Just forfeit the rest of the season.
I hope so too. But we're still behind them and Oregon in the standingsUCLA going into McKale and beating Arizona should bode well for seeding, I hope.
I just turned on ESPN, Gonzaga lost? What...
Actually happy it happened. If it didn't we were going to get a ridiculous bracket like Wichita State had.
Lol. The west always has by far the easiest bracket ever since the committee started caring about geography.
If we stayed undefeated, UCLA would have probably been a 2 and Oregon a 4 in the West.
I'm having a hard time even making a good guess. No team looks great this year.
That's sort of what I meant. No team has separated themselves from everyone else.I disagree, I think the field is more competitive this year than last. Not on the level of 2015 though.
Carolina just scored 43 points in a game.

Speaking of Giles, what's up with him so far? I've only watched maybe two Duke games this year, but I never hear about him on like ESPN or anything and I see he's only averaging 4 and 4. Was certain he'd be really good and a top 2-3 pick next year. Is he still coming back from the injuries?
This is "Senior Night" but it literally might be the last game in Cameron for the entire team minus Frank and Chase (and Vrank and em of course)
Jefferson gone
Jones gone
Giles gone
Tatum gone
Bolden honestly could stay and eat next year but he's probably gone
Allen should go before he fully JMM's himself (but it might be too late)
Kennard should go before he starts to JMM himself
Where's that one Northwestern fan with a cat avatar that posts occasionally in this thread? Congrats to you!
Still have some doubts about the team making it to the NCAA. Looks like a bubble team.
BrianFellows clean? Wolverines are shitting on themselves. Hopefully they got none of that stank on him.
NW with no bad losses is in IMO. Congrats.
You'd think as a Michigan basketball fan I'd be used to these heartbreaking buzzer beater losses by now but NOPE! Still feels like someone ran over both of my dogs.
Congrats though Tekky. You guys are a lock at this point.
THINK OF THE STREAK, NORTHWESTERN
Chicago has already lost one this year. Don't make it two.
I don't think NU is in until after the B1G tournament. What if Northwestern drops first game?
I think Iowa gets on the bubble if we win our last regular season game and get one B10 tourney game... doubt we'll do it but at least it seems possible. Wasn't expecting that last week.Possible, of the many, BT scenarios.
NW beats Purdue. Sparty beats Maryland. Goldy beats Wisconsin. All likely, IMO, ok maybe not NW.
1. Purdue
2. Goldy
3. Sparty 3-0 tiebreaker vs next 3.
4. NW. NW, Maryland and Wisc...all 1-2. Sparty isnt taken out of equation in 4-way tie. Instead goes to record vs Purdue. NW would be 1-1 better than the other 2 at 0-1.
5. Maryland. Tie breaker w Wisconsin goes all the way down to NW. Same records vs Purdue 0-1, Goldy 1-1 and Sparty 0-1. Maryland beat NW.
6. Wisc. So even tho Wisc beat Maryland in this 4-way tie they're 6th according to procedure as NW is tiebreaker before.
Middle of the pack can be just as convoluted w scenarios. Thought this was an interesting and possible scenario tho.
Thatd leave Iowa vs OhSt in 7-10 and Mich and Ill in 8-9 assuming all of them win their games. Iowa has tiebreak over Mich heads up.
Barring other upsets in tournament by seed, QF would be this under probable scenario above.
Purdue-Mich
NW-Maryland
----------
Sparty-Wisc
Goldy-Iowa
Should be a crazy tournament. Great league this year. Wouldnt put it past Penn St and Indiana or whomever gets the 5 and 6 seed in 2nd rd, especially if Wisc and Maryland, to make a run.
Quite confident Rutgers and Nebraska will do nothing.
