Pasting Pitt is really more of a "fuck you ACC" than a "fuck you Big East."

Even better, tack that on to hanging 70 on Clemson in the Orange Bowl.

Official Karl Hess threw Tom Gugliotta and Chris Corchiani out of the stands for presumably getting on the officials. Kidding me??

Holy freakin Cross. Over the last seven days they have upset American, Lafayette, and top ranked Bucknell today.

Milan Brown is turning it around there.

Creighton got hit with a horrifically bad back court call where the player had two feet in the front court but the ball in the back court with about 45 seconds left in a tie game. They were able to get a stop and a hoop to win but it is amazing how refs can completely misapply and bungle the rules in ways that affect outcomes.

Binghamton beats Vermont for their first win of the season. Vermont was in first place and won over 10 in a row. Unreal.

End of Drexel-Old Dominion... turned it on with OD having 3 foul shots down 3 with 0.7 seconds left. Guy makes the first two and then front rims the third.

What an enjoyable KU/Mizzou game. Great comeback by Kansas.

So Ohio State just saw their chances at a one seed slip. Mizzu is now on the outside looking in too, especially with their inferior RPI

Miami playing well without Reggie Johnson vs FSU, appears to be headed for a win. Puts the U back in the tournament discussion. South Florida with a big win over Cincy today as well, keeping their hopes alive. Bubble is shrinking quickly, Big South tournament tips off tomorrow, the first conference tournament to start. Going to be a fun 2 weeks, as always!

I still like Mizzou's chances in the big 12 tourney, but a title there does now seem to be their only path to a 1 seed.

FWIW, the foul situation in the second half of the KU game was ridiculous even by unbiased standards. The first six fouls were called on MU. Robinson made significantly more contact with Pressey than Dixon made with Taylor on the and-1 that decided the game in OT. A big part of KU's comeback occurred with Pressey and Ratliffe on the bench with four fouls. Mizzou has absurdly bad depth so you gotta expect to be bitten by that at some point, but on a neutral court they're the class of the conference still.

Cuts both ways. The offensive foul call on Robinson to give him two was awful. Missouri extended their lead when he was on the bench.

Wait, Mizzou -- second place to KU by two full games -- is the class of the conference? Sure, there might have been some question about the calls down the stretch in Lawrence, but how did KU fall behind by 19 to begin with? There were some curious calls that went Mizzou's way the first 30 minutes, calls even CBS questioned during the broadcast, and that put the Jayhawks in all sorts of foul trouble before halftime.

KU should've won at Mizzou, when two bad charge calls -- one against Robinson, the other against Taylor -- went against the Jayhawks.

Mizzou should've won at KU, which played most all of the game without Jeff Withey, who rolled his ankle three minutes after the opening tip.

Bottom line, they split and KU's been two games better in the remaining portion of the double round-robin schedule. The Jayhawks swept K-State, which swept Mizzou. And they just clinched the conference championship outright at Oklahoma State, a non-tournament team that also beat Mizzou. There's no way to spin it, the Jayhawks are clearly the class of the Big 12. They've proven it on the court.

Anyone know if that big NCAA pool is being run this year? Or did I miss a thread?

All hail your 2012 NIT Champion Stanford Cardinal! WE'RE 65! We're 65!

Wait; we're what, like 69 now? Sigh.
