PrintConsider this your open thread for the four remaining games of Championship Week. It's been a really fun twelve days.
ACC FINALS: 3 Duke v. 4 Florida State (12:00 on ESPN and ATDHE.net)
SEC FINALS: E1 Tennessee v. W3 Mississippi STate (12:00 on CBS and ATDHE.net)
Southland FINALS: 1 Stephen F. Austin v. 6 UT-San Antonio (if UTSA wins, they get one of my 16 seeds) (12:00 on ESPN2 and ATDHE.net)
Big Ten FINALS: 3 Purdue v. 5 Ohio State (2:30 on CBS and ATDHE.net)
GAME OF THE DAY
Mississippi State v. Tennessee (12:00)
Fans of St. Mary's, Creighton, Penn State, Auburn, Maryland, and San Diego State should REALLY be rooting for Bruce Pearl's Vols in this one. A Bulldog win, and that's one final bubble slot removed.

That was pretty clearly a 2
his entire foot was over the line.

Are there any other conferences that play their tournament
at the same location as another conference plays their FOOTBALL Championship?
Georgia Dome – host of the ACC Tournament and SEC Championship game.

Jeebus
they can’t miss from 3. Impressive shooting. 70% for the game. 5-5 in this run.
I typically try my best to stay away from games Vitale is calling. MAN is he annoying. I’ll give him credit, he obviously loves the game, but that doesn’t explain his popularity when you consider how annoying he is.
But, he actually was yelling because Duke DIDN’T get called for a foul.

Mississippi State down one to Tennessee with 2 minutes to go in the first half.
San Francisco, State College, Omaha, Auburn, College Park and San Diego are wringing their hands.

Big three for Tennessee to tie it at halftime.
Mississippi State 36, Tennessee 36.

FSU is making a nice run
Duke went from being red-hot in the 1st half to ice cold in this half

And, Duke answers
but, FSU is still hanging in there.

Despite what ESPN would like you to think
CBS owns the tournament.

Yeah, not gonna happen for FSU
Duke lead back out to 19, and they’re shooting well again. 7:17 left.
Ballgame.

AWFUL call by the refs
Classic “called blocking foul when there was no contact”—should’ve been a travel

Timeout Tennessee with about 10 seconds left
62-60 Mississippi State. Yawn. Another exciting finish in championship week.

Oh my...
The officiating in this game has been brutal. One ref calls a foul, one a travel. It was a travel, they called it a foul. Good God.

Makes one free throw, misses on
Rebound tipped out of bounds by MSU, Tennessee ball with 9.6 to go and down 1.

Wow...
Officials just called 5 seconds on the inbound when UT might have got the timeout off. I don’t think I’ve seen worse officiating down the stretch than in this game—these SEC refs make Big 12 refs look like Gods.

How did no time run off the clock there?
It shouldn’t have been much, but it starts with contact of the ball, right?
They took 0.6 off
And Tennessee just forced a turnover!

They've inbounded the ball 3 times...
and only 0.3 seconds have run off the clock TOTAL…including when they looked at it initially.
8 seconds left after they figured it out

They actually got that one right, which is weird
because they’ve missed everything
AND MISSISSIPPI STATE JUST TOOK IT AWAY

Go Boilers!
I like Ohio State, thanks to some time I’ve spent in Columbus.
HOWEVER, I almost went to Purdue, so I’m rooting for them.

Are we having a Selection show live thread?

Purdue at the end of the half.. .bricked a 3
rebound came out to the arc, bricked another 3
putback – BRICK
Buzzer.
30-25 OSU

Palm's "final" bracket (after everything except B10/11 champ)
Has Mizzou as a 3 in Minneapolis
KC spots go to OU and Memphis
Kansas goes to Boise (as a 3).
I would love that.
Our road would be
NDState – Arizona State – Michigan State – Louisville – Pittsburgh

Bracketology 101's final bracket
These guys have been the most accurate for the last several years.
I’d prefer Utah out of the 6th seeds, but I like WVU better than UCLA and OSU. Facing Memphis in Indianapolis would be fun.
by Transmogrified Tiger on Mar 15, 2009 4:19 PM CDT reply actions
I would hate WVU
they make the sweet 16 every freakin year, and they’re in KenPom’s top 10. Please no West Virginia. That’s even more important to me than being in KC or Minneapolis.
5 point game. 14.7 left OSU ball
Boilermakers have been in charge of this game for the last 12 minutes.

Purdue are Big 10 Champs.
Congrats Boilers.

I'm hoping it was sarcasm

According to rumor
Because Bill Laurie wanted Quin. And, he was getting ready to write a HUGE check.

Last minute Predictions?
3 seed.
OU will get a 2 and get a trip to KC. If they can do a 2-pod and a 3-pod in KC (I’m not sure if they can), we’ll be in KC. Otherwise, we’ll be in Boise. Kansas will be a 3 in Memphis.

-- J. T. Tiller - 3/12/09
Memphis will be in KC
They can do whatever pod they want, but Memphis is a one/two seed so they get the nod over us.
But, it makes as much sense to send them to Dayton
as to KC. So, might as well save the air fare to put either MU or KU here in KC.

-- J. T. Tiller - 3/12/09
But Louisville and Pitt will already be in Dayton
So KC is out
going to the selection show thread....
