  1. Kent with his extraordinary ability to not finish in the paint. Shedrick with his ability to lose the ball in the post. Larry with his ability to refuse a shot and instead twist for a hopeless one with the clock expiring. Offense looking grim. But we do have a Kaluma sighting.
  2. Boise State hit a 3 at the buzzer to beat Nevada 70-69. Second highest paid coach in the conference Steve Alford is racing Scott Drew to make himself less palatable to Indiana. Baylor lost at Colorado today.
  3. VCU 70 George Mason 54 UNC 81 Virginia 66 Georgia gave Auburn a game until the final 90 seconds, but lost 82-70.
  4. Clemson 79-69 over fraud contender SMU in Dallas. I still can't believe so many people were buying into SMU. When your best wins are home over out of tournament contention Pitt and almost home against near SEC cellar dweller LSU, you don't have anything even remotely approaching a tournament resume.
  5. No member of Nine Inch Nails performed on Cash's cover of "Hurt." The only input from NIN was Reznor allowing the cover to be made, despite having reservations about it being gimmicky. He loved the finished product, btw. A couple of members of Tom Petty and Heartbreakers did back up Cash on that cover.
  6. Vandy got its act together at the line, made its last 8 ft, and beat Mississippi 77-72.
  7. No, no, no, no. All he had to do is make the tournament AND not be Rodney Terry. Isn't that what our discussion of a possible coaching change is all about? Not that I think that is fair to Terry.
  8. Vandy has missed three straight ft, the first 2 by an 80% shooter, the last being the front end of a 1 and 1, and it had a putback disallowed for another player grabbing the rim. 64-62 Mississippi with 6:23 left. make that 4 straight misses, two front ends.
  9. And Pitino is dreaming if he thinks the ACC can survive making a basketball super-conference with the Big East. Football powers Clemson, Florida State, and Miami would be gone in an instant. The original Big East fell apart because football schools had to get away from the basketball only schools.
  10. 76-72 ND. I don't see how Pitt makes it now. NET 51 going into the game. 1-8 q1 and now 3-2 q2 and a 16 oint q3 loss at home to Virginia.
  11. WF pulling back. NC State wins 85-73. Bad loss for a WF team that was barely in the field. ND making fts down the stretch, but Pitt keeps making 3s, so Pitt only down 74-69 with 14 seconds left and shooting ft. Would be probably be the final nail for Pitt. Made one, missed second, made the tip. 74-72 ND timeout with 8 seconds left.
  12. NC State with a near turnover on the ensuing inbound pass. Caught near sideline and almost traveled, but they got it upcourt and hit a three after running clock. Up 79-69 with 59.4 left, WF shooting a pair.
  13. Again with a bounce pass into the very corner. Knocked out by WF but another review. WF is playing tough on the inbound passes, but NC State is doing almost nothing to get anyone free to take a pass.
  14. NC State really struggling to inbound the ball against WF pressure late. Took three attempts on one possession and couldn't clear midcourt that time. Now loses it out of bounds, but should be given back after review. Just no one open, and NC State willing to pass deep into the corner where player gets too easily trapped. Call not overturned, but should have been. WF ball. 76-67 NC State with 1:45 left.
  15. Tech ran away from WVU in the second half to win 73-51. WVU is now looking like a low 10 seed and still sinking. Just no offense to speak of unless the words are "constipated," "balky," "ineffective," etc.
  16. Mississippi State grabbed 20 offensive rebounds, but it couldn't overcome OU's hot shooting in the second half. OU hit 8 of its first 9 shots in the second half and won 93-87. NC State now pulling away. Up 11 with ball and 3:11 to go after WF missed a shot after a clear-out that knocked a Wolfpacker (?) to the ground. NC State miss. WF ball down 11 with 2:48 left.
  17. Wake Forest is trying to do something we couldn't--lose in Raleigh. NC State on a 13-0 run and up 69-61 with 4:45 left.
  18. Agroids finished with a .400 offensive rebound percentage.
  19. For those people who want to dismiss the idea of Murray without any real consideration, I offer two names: Jon Scheyer and Tommy Lloyd Both long time assistants at great programs who never had a head coaching job before being hired at Duke and Arizona. Both are doing quite well. Might as well add Hoiberg to that list. He was an NBA front office guy before taking the ISU job, and he did very well there before he went crazy and decided to go back to the NBA.
  20. The only crazy part of that would be if we invited his dad Bill to ham it up on the radio every game.
  21. A&M trapped Zeigler baseline on the offensive end, but Barnes called timeout, and Tenn got a three on the inbound play to pretty much ice it. A&M missed two threes and Tenn hit a pair of ft to win 77-69. Cincy beat TCU by 12, ending TCU's slim hopes. Mitchell was 4/4 from the line. Came in shooting under .400. Miss State and OU in a one possession game with 18 minutes left.
  22. Not a bubble game, but a great game going on between Tennessee and A&M in College Station. Tenn up 68-64 after a brain fart on both sides. Zeigler missed the front end, and A&M was guilty of interfering with a Taylor layup that was obviously going down to prevent the and one. Taylor at the line missed the first and made the second. Down to the wire.
