My Prediction
KState wins in 12 OT’s. 123-114. Bill Self is thrown out in the 7 OT, Cole Aldrich never fouls out, despite committing 45 fouls called out by Bob Knight.
Actually
ku 78
ksu 82

Maybe we were better off with these games on the big 12 network...
At least we got to watch them.

I say
that the other BIG 12 SBN blogs get together and write a letter with the their members signing and sending it to ESPN, and Big 12, surely if the entire conference complains, they will look at it. Probably will even be able to get some radio stations on board.

Or maybe he doesn’t understand that you don’t shoot after normal fouls until the 7th+. Perhaps the CIA could steal him so we don’t need to listen to him.

They won the sixth-best conference in the country easily and really only have two bad losses, to UCLA and Oregon State. It’s not a stunning resume, but they’re pretty safe, I think.

I agree they will be in.
But the Pac 10 is the 8th best conference. Just above the one bid Mo Valley. Not the sixth. And Arizona and USC are both barely 500. I’d give them 4 pretty bad losses.

Collins even on the All Big 12 Team

They will most likely get the play in game...
But played at Mizz, KSU, Ok St, Oregon, GT, Colo, Ariz St, and Michigan and lost none by more than 20 which is pretty competitive for a 16 seed.

Odd...
ESPN.com’s scoreboard already has it UCSB 65, LBSU 62 final. Only…there are 8.6 left in the game.

If Utah State loses and there were only one spot left:
Would USU or the Stupids in Orange (Illinois) get in?
"Sometimes when Will Ebner tackles people, I think they are going to explode on impact."
I can't tell USU's status for sure...
…but I think they’re safe.

utah state is safe
i would have mississippi state in and florida the victim in that case.

basically though
if two of minnesota wins/new mexico state wins/mississippi wins happen, then NONE of those teams get in. not illinois, not seton hall, not rhode island, not mississippi, not mississippi state (if they don’t win), not florida, no one.

DECAF WINS IT FOR THE MOUNTAINEERS!
"Sometimes when Will Ebner tackles people, I think they are going to explode on impact."
Evan Turner called that on twitter before it happened.
Takes one to know one.
Annoying You Since 1986
Decaf has also had 6 or 7 game-winners this year.
No doubt it was going to him, although Georgetown had a real chance at the other end but I think they should have called a time out as they sprinted to half-court. That way they could all regroup and probably get a better look than that weird long layup.
"Sometimes when Will Ebner tackles people, I think they are going to explode on impact."
yeah
i was super surprised they didn’t call a timeout.

Rock M Nation

That look was weird though for a couple of reasons.
First, it required an Armstrong-esque leap for mankind in order to get to the basket, so he either does a long layup or tries to float it in, both kind of awkward. Second, he then had to move his arms in such a way to avoid the defender that it wasn’t even physically possible for him to get the strength to put it in from that distance.

Ugh, Stephen Bardo is such a bad announcer.
He’s doing the WAC championship on ESPN2 and he’s got a really annoying voice and keeps screaming about a goaltend that was clearly a clean block.
And can somebody confirm that Stephen Bardo is the same guy that did the Vandy game and talked about how there “weren’t enough black people named after African countries”? He sounds similar to that guy but I’m not sure if he was announcing that game.
"Sometimes when Will Ebner tackles people, I think they are going to explode on impact."
NMSU on a nice run.
Now up 5 on Utah State at the final media timeout.
"Sometimes when Will Ebner tackles people, I think they are going to explode on impact."
You have to watch this.

Bardo just said:
“What comes around goes around.” I really wish he would think before speaking, although he did a valid point on the last play as a foul was called on USU after a completely clean block. NMSU up 5, 2 min left.

I'm going to be bold here and say:
Illinois will be left out but Minnesota will play OSU close and get in.
Wow, two bad puns in a 4 minute span. Some would call me “Butter” because I’m on a role!
"Sometimes when Will Ebner tackles people, I think they are going to explode on impact."
I think when in doubt...
The committee will simply say that Minn beat Ill on Ill’s home floor. That will break the tie.
Annoying You Since 1986
Yeah, I really hope so.
Although it will be disappointing to see Illinois have another chance to send out their senior class with a win. I hate those Stupids in Orange and hope they lose for the rest of eternity.
And I swear, if anybody responds with how much hate I have in me…GRRR!
"Sometimes when Will Ebner tackles people, I think they are going to explode on impact."
Is it safe to say that if Mizzou has lost that game to Iowa State in OT...
We would be in TROUBLE.
Annoying You Since 1986
yeah, i would say so

I know. Such a difference it is to be 10-7 instead of 9-8
Three shots by Coffee really woke up the committee to how we perform under pressure and gave us a bid in the tournament.
"Sometimes when Will Ebner tackles people, I think they are going to explode on impact."
We might have still gotten in....but
WOW, would it have been close.

Nothing to do with performing under pressure...
…it was simply another win, a better conference record, and a better RPI.

Its getting late.
Annoying You Since 1986
Nothing better than a court rush on the opponent's floor.
That’s what I love most about mid-major conference championships, the ultimate “F*** you” to your host and it also means you just pulled an upset as the higher seed gets home court.
"Sometimes when Will Ebner tackles people, I think they are going to explode on impact."

Last Eight In
Georgia Tech

Notre Dame
Virginia Tech
Wake Forest
Florida
First Eight Out
Mississippi State
Minnesota
Illinois

I think that when all else fails that will sit with the committee.
Annoying You Since 1986
And Florida beat Mississippi State (albeit at home) a month ago.
If the committee is truly trying not to give more credence to recent results (and honestly, I doubt they’ll be able to do that), then that will more or less cancel out, and the rest of the resume is what will matter.

Just saw College Basketball Final talking about Big East Championship.
Turns out Decaf’s right foot landed on the ground before the shot, meaning he should have been called for traveling.
So that means this week the referees messed up twice big time. First, they failed to start the clock fast enough, giving Evan Turner too much time to hit a game-winner (which wouldn’t have counted if the clock started when he first touched it) and now WVU is given a victory in a game that could have been won by Georgetown in 10 seconds if traveling was called or at least sent to overtime.
"Sometimes when Will Ebner tackles people, I think they are going to explode on impact."
AND
Sherron Collins STILL has never led the Big 12 in any category!
I blame Ed Hightower. There is a good chance he could have used his black magic ( not a racial slur I swear) and been at 2 games at both of those games.
By God…have you seen his dance moves!?!
