Can't we be the #1 seed on that side if we win tomorrow. I thought we win tie-breaker due to being 1-0 vs Temple.

That’s actually good news Mark. No, we lose the tie breaker. We’re now locked in to the #2 seed

Of course. Love it. Now let's win the conference title tomorrow

Awesome. Hopefully we can start a March run tomorrow and keep with our trend of losing only 1 game a month, though the Final 4 is in April, but I'd still be fine with sticking with the trend, even into April.

How many from this board will be at the game tomorrow?
I will be there with my spouse doing my part cheering (screaming) my head off.

Two upsets at Arch Madness today! The top two seeds, Loyola-Chicago and Drake, both lost by 2 in the final minute. Bradley and Northern Iowa for the MVC title tomorrow.

Very good title game on right now. Belmont and Murray State for the OVC title. Where does Murray State keep finding these NBA guards? Isaiah Canaan, Cameron Payne, and now Ja Morant in the last 5+ years.

LSU (not UK) playing for the SEC Conference Regular Season Title.

23 Villanova (22-9) 75
Seton Hall (18-12) 79

5 Tennessee (27-4) 80
Auburn (22-9) 84

Another upset in the books...

Georgetown (19-12) 86
16 Marquette (23-8) 84

Duke loses at UNC but also loses another starter to a knee injury - center Marques Bolden. Duke is gonna need a MASH unit to get through the ACC and NCAA tourneys.

That's a great look for the SEC...

I doubt Duke gets their seed line lowered due to injuries to key players.
No way the NCAA implements the KMart Rule for Doooook!

It's nice to see another team challenging "Big Blue"
SEC may get 9 teams in the tourney. It's been a strong year for the SEC in Bball.

I see seven but the SEC’s rise has been huge for the American. The best non-conference wins have come against SEC teams.

It's not the same since Zion is returning for the ACC tournament. He's already been practicing. With him, Duke is the best team in the country and clearly a #1 seed. Dropping them a seed line would just screw everyone in the lower half of a bracket, where we are likely to be seeded.

Coach K said after the injury it wasn't serious and Zion would return shortly...how many weeks has he been out now? Guess we'll see if he is really back for the ACC Tourney, if he if is he 100%, or has Duke been playing head games with the Committee.

In an interview today Coach K made no commitment about Zion playing in the ACC Tourney. He said he would be surprised if he wasn't playing in the ACC Tourney but made no commitment. He said he would return sometime this season. He said nothing about him practicing with the team or about participating in some workouts.

they should just rest zion until the ncaa tourney. if there the best team in college hoops with him, what difference does it make where they get seeded?

Ohio valley championship has been great. Official start to championship week. Murray state has a top 5 draft pick. Belmont won the conference. I personally think both should be in regardless but that's unlikely.

Will be there. We split 2 season tickets with 4 people, but bought this game when they went on sale so we could all go.

Belmont didn’t look very good. I think if Lipscomb wins their autobid then Belmont’s case improves as that gives them three wins over tournament teams.

It was going to the wire until an awful charge call on what should have been an and 1 to get it to 3 inside of a minute to go. Belmont was fine but a top 5 NBA draft pick took over and was too much.

I watched the game and wasn't too impressed, I still would give them a bid as one game in conference tournament shouldn't what keeps a team with their profile out.

Belmont looked like a tourney team to me, and that was indeed a great game. I hope they both get in.

Pretty sure this will be vacated in the future. Bad optic for SEC and LSU having fans go after LSU AD and cheering kid who should put them on probation.

I don't think anyone thinks integrity, when they think "SEC".... Unless they're talking about the Securities and Exchange Commission.
