College Basketball 2011-12: The Road to New Orleans

Re: College Basketball 2011-12: The Road to New Orleans

Good job by the BIG.

Outside Duke playing against a NYC cupcake at the garden, its just refreshing to see southern teams actually travel north for once. Never see it in football tho.

Even with Virginia upsetting #15 Michigan and Minnesota likely not beating VT without Mbakwe, the B1G should still win this years challenge. They are up 4-2 going into today's games and will be favored to win in enough of them to probably get to 7 wins.

Indiana, Nebraska, Michigan State, Boston College, Virginia Tech, North Carolina would be my guess for winners. Making the final 7-5 for the B1G, and a 3rd consecutive win (after losing the first 10 yrs).

As long as Florida State's one dimensional squad (#1 in field goal defense the last two seasons, 26% of their offensive possessions end in turnovers) is the 3rd best team in the ACC, the Big Ten should win.

Never predict Nebraska to win anything in basketball, ever.
 
Re: College Basketball 2011-12: The Road to New Orleans

Florida St. v Michigan St. has been ugly on the offensive end for both teams so far.
 
Re: College Basketball 2011-12: The Road to New Orleans

Creighton @ SDSU has been a barn burner. Creighton trailed by 17 midway thru the 1st half, then led by as much as 8 late in the 2nd. Currently up 4 with :58 to go.

Edit: Oh, and I will take credit for calling the Skurs game, too.

Edit 2: CU now up 1, as SDSU has made 4 straight 3's to close the gap. CU with the ball, though.

Always have respect for Creighton. I always have this fear that my Syracuse will draw them in the tourney and get the lights shot out while in that 2-3 zone.
 
Re: College Basketball 2011-12: The Road to New Orleans

Wow. CU holds on to win after missing a free throw but getting the offensive board. Phew. They can officially say they deserve their ranking now.

Re: College Basketball 2011-12: The Road to New Orleans

See having Sampson out actually helped I think ;)

I had a lot of fun at the game...sat center court 14 rows up! I felt like goldy_331 minus the whole "I am a d-bag from Edina" thing ;) :p

You felt like you were 90 yrs old? :confused:
 
Re: College Basketball 2011-12: The Road to New Orleans

Well I was going for "rich and elite" but I am getting kinda old :(
 
Re: College Basketball 2011-12: The Road to New Orleans

Marquette upset Wisconsin at the Kohl Center on Saturday afternoon. They played pretty well - impressed with Todd Mayo. Nice to see them hold on after Wisconsin made a comeback in the second half.

Harvard enters the AP poll for the first time in school history. Probably will be short lived since they play UConn this week, but could see them getting back in later in the season if they roll through the conference schedule as expected. Brown is now the only Ivy League school to have never been ranked.

Creighton enters the AP poll at #19 and moves up to #17 in the coaches poll. Woot.

Makes me feel a little bit better about the beating they gave the Hawks.;)

Iowa loses 80-60 to a fairly good UNI squad. Just gotta keep telling myself we're a year away from any sort of relevance..

Indiana sticks a 3 at the buzzer to beat Kentucky, 73-72.

Rumors of John Calipari committing 3 major NCAA violations on the way to the Kentucky locker room are unfounded.
