Games of the Day
American v. Holy Cross (3:45pm)
Winner dances.
Wake Forest v. Maryland (6:00pm)
If Maryland wins this one, they go from "mushy, iffy bubble team" to "likely in".
Baylor v. Texas (6:00pm)
Baylor could screw quite a few bubble teams if they keep this up.
Auburn v. Florida (8:45pm)
The hottest team in the SEC versus a closest-to-the-borderline bubble teams.

Your Big East times are wrong.
They should be 7 and 9 not 6 & 8. Go ’Cuse!
Playing Realistic Optimist at Buffalo Rumblings since 2008. Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.
Central Time, I believe.
But then again, us Midwestern folk’re tryin’ figgur out dem clocks.
My 2009 New Years Resolution: Quit feeding the trolls.
That's correct...I think...
…I listed them correctly for CST, right?
Oh, and I’m not sure I got all the TV games down…still need to go in and add ATDHE games…haven’t had the chance yet…

Thrust nunchuk upward!
3-Seed Watch
Outcomes by which Mizzou would benefit, in my estimation:
Maryland over Wake Forest (large game; Maryland is a bubble team with a KenPom ranking of 60, while I think Wake might be the iffiest 3-seed)
BC over Duke (to a lesser extent; Duke should get a 3, but maybe a big embarrassing loss to a BC team that I would describe as “meh” would drop them down)
Arizona State over Washington (another large game; the only way I see Washington hanging on to a 3-spot would be if they win the Pac-10)
USC over UCLA (again, to a lesser extent, but for a different reason: I think Mizzou is ahead of UCLA for a 3-spot, and really, only UCLA winning the Pac-10 title could give them a legit shot at a 3)

I could see AzState beating Washington is the best bet for an upset.
Just to be clear…do any #3 seeds play in KC in the first 2 rounds?
According to Jerry Palm (updated today)
http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/story/11233762
Kansas City gets #2 (Memphis and OU) and #7 (LSU & BYU). He has Missouri and Kansas both going to Minneapolis as 3 seeds.
KC pod plays Thursday – Saturday, Minneapolis plays Friday – Sunday.
"When he went for that ball and dived over the table, I knew what was next to come. I felt sorry for what Texas Tech had to face after that."

BTW, that projection has us playing
Portland St.
Tennessee
Duke/Marquette
Louisville/Xavier/Gonzaga
Final Four matchup would be Michigan St./UConn
kansas would be in Pitt’s bracket
OU would be in UNC’s.

i would love to play duke.
after seeing all the turnovers they had against a pressure defense vs. clemson earlier in the season, i think they’d be a good matchup for us.
capital letters suck.
It's still early, but...
Michigan State and UNC are both losing with about 5 minutes to go in their respective first halves.
Chicago White Sox Examiner — Your what hurts?
Hmm...
..well UNC’s locked up in a No. 1 seed, but Michigan State…nah, nevermind. They could take a No.1 seed away from UConn if they win the tourney, but a loss just keeps them at a No. 2.

Watching LSU for the first time all season.
I have to admit, they’re pretty good. Not better than Mizzou, but they’re probably the best team in the SEC.
