Huge W. Gerry McNamara just knocked down a 3 as time expired giving my boys a 74-73 win over Cincinnati. Both teams are on the bubble and this was a huge game. Hopefully this will be enough to get Syracuse into the field of 64.

Next up: UCONN

This game could be ugly. They might get crushed.

Why don't we all do an office pool once they announce the 64 team NCAA Tourney?

Can anyone come up with a set of brackets than can be modified online?

UCONN eats dung. Villanova is better then them.

I'd hate to say this, but 'Nova will be lucky to make the Sweet 16.  They don't have enough height.  Too many guards, not enough experienced big men.  They're gonna get crushed by an established ACC team.

Not so much height is true. But how about reversing it and saying that no teams have the guards to match them when they put like 4 on the floor at once. That is killer dude. And whose to say they ever play an ACC team ? Thats the thing about the NCAA. Its about luck and getting the right matchup.

I wouldn't like Nova's chances against Duke or Michigan State. Thats about it.

Denverdamus says Nova wins national championship. Eat my shorts !

The ACC consistently sends 5 or 6 teams to the big dance every year.  That four guard lineup isn't going to work in the NCAA Tournament.  You need guys that can rebound and dominate in the paint.

Case in point:  Illinois vs UNC in the Final last season..... Illinois guards were raining three pointers all night, but eventually they stopped going in.  Meanwhile, Chad May, UNC's muscular power forward, was eating Illinois alive in the paint.  The result.... a convincing win for UNC.

Syracuse was so close to giving this game away. After that kid stole the inbounds pass and shanked the layup, I was almost certain they were gonna lose.

There is no such thing as giving away a game when you are playing the #1 team in the nation and you are unranked.

I'm just happy to hear all the national scuttlebutt about the Missouri valley conference...

It's funny how in those smaller and lesser known conferences,  you pretty much have to win your tournament in order to have a chance at going to the NCAA's.  Most of those teams won't even get a second look without that automatic bid.

The Mo Valley typically get 2 teams in the tournament,But they don't say much about them...Ohh yeah Sothern Il,And Crieghton...Or N.Iowa,and SW Mo. St (Mo State Now).In the Past we've made some noise...Mo State made it to the sweet 16 a few years ago.Crieghton made some noise a couple of years ago.

I'm not a basketball fan,but basketball is king around here.

I just find it funny,Listening to to ESPN radio,Or sportscenter,and hear the Local college's name being batted around.
