Lunardi had them as one of the last ones in. It probably would've been close without this win or advancing to the finals of the conference tournament.
He had them as the 4th to last bye team. Meaning they were already ahead of 7 other teams in the Tourney. Obviously, anything could happen. But nonetheless, this win easily puts them in the field.
It's really amazing to think how good of a coach Bob McKellop is, Davidson seems to always be the best team in the SoCon which is really a terrible league. Even more amazing is how small the school is only about 1500 kids. They're in the semis so they're close again. I can only remember one really bad Davidson team in the last 10 years or so and it was right after Curry left otherwise I don't think there is a coach who gets more out of less than this guy. Is ther a conference with a more weird setup than the America East? They play the 1st and 2nd round in Albany and move the championship game to the highest remaining seed.
McDermott torches Providence and is now 7th on the all time scoring list. He went over 3k career points. He has 45 tonight and the game isn't over.
SJU with play Providence at 2:30 Thursday. That could end up being a winner in game for the NCAA Tourney. But in reality, the winner of that game will probably need to win one more after that.
Nice win at Fla State. I guess any win now is nice. Big difference having Grant back, no excuses but he's so important on the glass and making those athletic plays around the rim. Number 2 seed, looking forward to the ACC Tournament. Feels very weird not having any plans to go to the Big East Tournament. Probably been there 8 out of the last 10 years. _
I have 0 confidence in this team now. they are weak on the glass, commit a ton of dumb fouls, have no bench help, and can't score None of above individually are good for the tourney, together? I can't see them passed 16.
I concur, I have no confidence but I'm always optimistic I've picked Cuse to win the NCAA tourney every year since 1978 on my sheet, even those couple of years when we didn't make the tourney. I'm an idiot that way, it's worth the $20 to keep the streak going. _
It wasn't shocking that the Heels lost, they played very poorly and duke played great- specifically Parker and Hood. if those guys are playing like that they will be tough to beat for anyone. I am tired of the calls on McAdoo, #4 was legit but 2 of the first 3 were not and it seems to happen every game. They really couldn't afford it the other night w/ Meeks sick and barely playing. Hopefully they regroup for Friday so they can get a top 4 seed. right now they are probably a 5, I think a win on Friday could get them a 4. Saturday would be tough if they make it to Saturday b/c UVa would be waiting. I want paige to be aggressive for 40 minutes not just the last 10. He can score almost at will but he is so passive for so long until it gets late, if he can start taking over earlier Carolina can make a run, if not it will likely be a quick exit. It's the greatest time of the year for sports fans.
Congratulations to Wichita State for their perfect season. Their two wins against Bayside High and West Beverley High were especially impressive.
I think it was about Paige they said they should give him orange slices before the game and tell him it's halftime.
