Tonight starting at 5:00 on ESPNU we've got the Big South Tournament Semifinals with High Point playing VMI and Winthrop playing UNC Asheville. It would be very helpful if Winthrop could win this tournament but it could get really interesting if they have to play High Point in the Finals on Saturday.

Check it out if you get ESPNU. I do so I plan to check it out.

Georgia Tech is going to lose both, IMO.

michigancat · March 01, 2007, 02:16:39 PM

I hope my rooting makes a difference.

catsfan20012002 · March 02, 2007, 09:20:52 AM

High Point lost to VMI and Winthrop defeated UNC Asheville setting up the Championship Game tomorrow. I'll be cheering like crazy for Winthrop in that game. I couldn't believe when I was watching the Winthrop game last night that UNC Asheville had a player that is 7'6".

That's 3" taller then J.B.?

Georgia Tech beat North Carolina. Is it just me or did I hear somebody's bubble pop?

catsfan20012002 · March 02, 2007, 09:28:43 AM

Tonight I'll be watching action in the Southern Conference tournament. We have Davidson vs. Furman and Appalachian State vs. College of Charleston. You'll want to cheer like crazy for Davidson to win and eventually win the Championship Game tomorrow.

Yeah, no joke. If crap like this keeps happening we're going to need more than two wins to get in.

Va upset VaTech too...not good, though they were probably in, but it just makes the ACC look more competative and therefore get more atlarge bids, over/under for the ACC? -7

catsfan20012002 · March 02, 2007, 10:54:47 AM

We really need Boston College to beat Georgia Tech on Sunday. I'll take the Under and say 6 (Boston College, Maryland, Duke, N. Carolina, Virginia and Virginia Tech). At least I'm hoping that the ACC doesn't get any teams with losing records in.

Not quite sure about this. Davidson won the league by 2 games, I think, but overall, Appalachian St. has the better at-large resume. Davidson has beaten nobody of note, but App. St. beat Virginia (neutral), Vandy (neutral), and VCU (away). Davidson's best win is probably at Arizona St.

If Davidson wins the tourney, Appalachian St. is still in the at-large pool, IMO. If App. St. wins, Davidson is NIT-bound.

catsfan20012002 · March 03, 2007, 10:44:21 AM

Today we've got 4 Championship games (teams that we should want to win):

Big South - Winthrop
Atlantic Sun - East Tennessee State
Southern - Davidson
Ohio Valley - Austin Peay

The reason I picked those four teams is because they're the #1 seeds. We want favorites to win their conference tournaments so that bubbles (preferably ours) don't get popped.

That's my view

catsfan20012002 · March 03, 2007, 07:34:11 PM

The Big South went the way we wanted it to. The Atlantic Sun did not (does East Tennessee State still get in?). Davidson won the Southern Conference so that's good. The Ohio Valley is in progress.

ETSU is done. 121 RPI.

catsfan20012002 · March 03, 2007, 07:48:53 PM

The Atlantic Sun result doesn't hurt us after all then.

catsfan20012002 · March 03, 2007, 07:54:13 PM

Lets go Peay!!!!!

ksu_FAN · March 03, 2007, 07:58:53 PM

Ohio Valley is a one team league. Big South is a one team league.

Good that Davidson won, App State is behind us at 62 in the RPI, they are an NIT team.

WILDCAT NATION · March 03, 2007, 09:53:02 PM

I'm guessing Misery State losing helps us?

Yep. Most "experts" had them needing a win against Creighten to go

WILDCAT NATION · March 03, 2007, 10:00:55 PM

I don't know what any of the other "bubble" teams did today.

Well...ESPN dubbed these "bubble games today".

L:
Hofstra
Michigan
Georgia
Stanford
Bradley
Syracuse
Oklahomla State
Illinois
Michigan State

W:
Winthrop (important)
Villanova (flipside of Syracuse)
Xavier
Florida State (these guys are a long shot at best)
VCU
Depaul (also a long shot)
Purdue
Drexel
West Virginia
UMass
ODU
Davidson
Texas Tech
Indiana

http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/scoreboard?view=bubble Of course, this is much easer.....

WILDCAT NATION · March 03, 2007, 10:13:41 PM

Just how hard is the Big Televen gonna fall in the tourney? I'm just not convinced that conference is all "that".

Agreed. They are going down hard. Wisconsin = earliest exit of a 1 or 2 seed. They let everyone stay in the game.

catsfan20012002 · March 04, 2007, 11:17:03 AM

Things to hope for today:

Boston College over Georgia Tech
S. Illinois to win the MVC Tournament

Anything else?

mavrick1821 · March 04, 2007, 04:33:00 PM

Drexel out in Semi's of conf. tourny. Me thinks this drops them into NIT.

Squeak · March 04, 2007, 04:48:55 PM

We really needed Clemson to lose @ Va. Tech -- that didn't help. SIU & Creighton were both in anyway - that didn't matter. Georgia Tech is really starting to piss me off.

catsfan20012002 · March 04, 2007, 05:55:21 PM

Yeah.....Today didn't quite go as planned. There are alot of bids up for grabs tomorrow so maybe we'll have a better day then.

jarrr · March 04, 2007, 06:01:19 PM

Bama got destroyed by MSU which is good. Im not sure if Drexel losing is good or not. I would have rather them win the colonial since they are the only team that could get an at large from that league. I dont think Hofstra or VCU could get an at large.

mavrick1821 · March 04, 2007, 06:28:57 PM

I think the Colonial only gets 2 in, max. MVC may only get 2 also.
