Up today:
SEC
Ole Miss - Kentucky
Georgia - Miss. State
Vandy - Alabama
Florida - Arkansas
------------------------
ACC
VT - Miami
Clemson - GT
Maryland - NC State
BC - UVA
----------------------
I'll pick UNC to win the ACC. As for the SEC, I'm leaning towards LSU (if they play to their potential), but UT or Auburn could pull it out.

Not to burst your bubble here, but Syracuse and UConn went six overtimes in their Big East quarterfinal at NSG before the Orange pulled away, 127-117.

6? Wow! I went to bed after the first 2.
Big East is looking really tough this year. Louisville could go all the way in the NCAA's, as could several others from the BE.

I'm sorry to have missed that game but there is a nice recap over at ESPN.

In fact I haven't watched a lot of college ball this year at all unfortunatly. My Buckeye's and Bearcats have been hard to watch in many cases but it's been more of a timing issue for me. Anyway I am playing catch-up and looking forward to the tourney. (There will be a CC tourney againt his year btw. I'll start it soon or join up with whoever beats me to it)

Bobby Huggins (West Virginia's coach, for those that don't know, who plays Syracuse tonight) has to be the happiest person in the Big East today.

GO STATE!!!!
BTW, anyone else wants to talk other B-ball scores or tourneys other than SEC & ACC on this thread, please feel free. That probably goes without saying, but just in case someone didn't want to impose...... you wouldn't be.

Syracuse's remarkable run continues

NEW YORK -- He walked to the bench, a towel draped over his head. The improbable -- no, the damn impossible -- had happened.
Twenty-two hours after wrapping up a six-overtime marathon, Syracuse was going into the extra stanza again. And after 174 minutes on the court over the span of three games in three days, Jonny Flynn had finally hit the wall.
"I'm thinking all of these coaching things, motivation, what I'll say and he just looks at me and says, 'Coach, I'm just shot,'' associate head coach Mike Hopkins said. "I mean, what could I say?''
Nothing -- Hopkins said nothing. He just nodded his head sympathetically and turned Flynn back onto the court for five more minutes.
It's not like there was much choice. Flynn is the heartbeat of Syracuse. During the course of the Big East tournament, he played 35 minutes in the first-round game against Seton Hall, played through crippling cramps for 67 of the 70 minutes against Connecticut and then on about three hours sleep, steered the Orange through regulation against West Virginia, playing every one of the 40 minutes.
I'm sure that he Thanks God that it was only one overtime! 'Cuse won, 74-69.
I talked to a friend of mine who works in the lab I used to work in, who is a 'Cuse grad. He told me that he thinks that Jim Boeheim is making a balls-to-the-wall run at the Big East title. The last two times that 'Cuse won the Big East title, they were eliminated from the NCAAs on the first day of the tournament. He surely doesn't want that to happen again . . . Oh--IMO, Jonny Flynn is good enough to get the Orange to the Final Four. He's that good.

GO STATE!!!! GO STATE!!!!
Didn't see that coming, but we'll take it anyway. Now they can go lose in the first round of the NCAA. :banghead:
Also note that without Ty Lawson, UNC doesn't stand a chance of taking it all.
Both tourney's were quite entertaining.

How long is Lawson out for, anyway?

3 little points.... :censored:

Are we going to have a NCAA bracket here?

My guess is they use him sparingly the first and second rounds and try and rest him another week. They said he could have played, but would rather his toe heal.
