Saturday CBB games on TV fwiw

Houston with 32 points with less than 5:00 left in the game. That’s amazing
 
Anyone else see a potential first round pairing with New Mexico? Lots of story lines with Mash Jr and Rick Jr.
 
FAU just screwed a bubble team they had the ball down 1 with 6 seconds left after Temple bricked both FT's and Davis drove to the basket and tried to pass it instead of taking the shot at the layup. FAU screwed themselves not having Goldin in the game.
 
So Iowa State just crushed Houston and won the Big 12 Tournament. Big deal! How many dudes they gonna have drafted come June? ZERO!
 
Indiana State no chance to get in now this is 2 bubble spots gone. A-10 and now American.

Hopefully it keeps out someone like Virginia.

Kentucky's #13 seed getting easier by the hour though.
 
New Mexico about to play themselves from first 4 out to start the MWC tournament to auto bid.
They were #6 seed.
This year the conf tournaments are madness just madness
 
With all these bid stealers those 2 First Four games in Dayton are going to be pretty darn good teams.

This is becoming the strongest bubble ever since we are seeing teams left and right steal bids shrinking it.

I'd like to see them get in.
 
NC State playing 5th game in 5 days about to take on UNC.

DJ Burns is a fun watch for NC State, imo. Great footwork and mobility for a guy his size.

LOL Awful 15-19 Temple just beat last year's FF team FAU.
I just don't get it. How are these pissant teams beating FF teams from last year and this year. The Portal can't be the sole reason right? Have college sports just become show up and get a paycheck?
 
Yeah it’s clear now more than ever, that it’s UConn, a gap, Houston a small gap, UNC & Purdue, a gap, then everybody else

That and the 3 point shot. The 3 point shot can make up for defiencies
 
As a minor subplot here, I can’t imagine the American conference can be thrilled that their championship game is going to be a rematch of a game (UAB/Temple) that was investigated for suspicious betting patterns within the last week.

Just a lot more better players these days. Basketball factories and AAU. A lot more players are able to play a lot more basketball.

3 point shot.
Transfer rules(immediate eligibility)
foreign player influx

Probably other things that I didnt mention.

Temple shot 12/24 from 3 while FAU went 3/17 and FAU only lost by 1 and they had a shot at the buzzer to win it but fumbled it away.

I wonder if FAU has to go to Dayton now if yes that would be a costly loss. They are likely a 9-11 seed. If they are a 9 they have to do the same thing they did last year with basically same team.
 
NS State up 14-4.............A lot of teams thinking they were getting in are not getting in already and if this keeps up............

I have no idea how you saw that performance from Houston and have any confidence in them. Completely uncompetitive for 40 straight minutes. Panic button time for them.

Because it’s the first bad game Houston has played in damn near 2 months that’s why. Their defense is still elite, and the offense is good enough

Teams in the 2nd tier of your list from the prior post do not lose games by 30 and look totally incompetent in the game before the big tourney starts. If you believe they can make a run still, fine, but you can't say it's Uconn a gap, Houston a gap, etc and put a team in that 2nd spot that just got fleeced with a straight face.

You can when it’s the the third time they are seeing a team. If Houston isn’t the second best team, name me the second best team then? It isn’t Purdue, and it isn’t UNC
