What's coming out the side of that Houston Player's neck. That's brutal.

Love you, brother. Sports wagering brings out the best in all of us. LOL!

Forget my rant...I just dislike college basketball, not hate, but I really think they should be compensated with more than a scholarship..anyone else agree at all?

very nice

Mishkin, upon hearing my question aimed at Hathaway, expressed relief that I had nothing for him. Not so fast. The NCAA is the de facto minor league for both the NFL and the NBA, I said, do the NFL and the NBA owe a duty to college athletic programs?

that is a question..

Thanks Coach. I think the cats are going to dominate the paint. I do hope Miss St gets into the tourney. That team is playing some really good ball.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I don't think Wake Forest is getting in. Six wins over the top 50 doesn't mean much when you've proven incapable of beating anyone in a month.

I didnt think they were very good this year. In fact, I think entire ACC was bad this year. The fact that MD tied for the regular season title is exhibit A.

I think they're in, but it's a lot closer than people will think. Right now I have them as a 10 seed but wouldn't be surprised if they're an 11 or even a 12.

After a lot of debate I have it down to 6 teams for 3 spots (I do think Cal and Minnesota are in, so essentially 4 for 1)- tell me why one over the other:

Code:

TEAM	      W	       L	WP	WP RK	RPI	RPI RK	SOS	SOS RK	TOP 25	TOP 50	TOP 100	>100 LOSSES	ROAD/N	<75 WINS	INTANGIBLES

Note- if Mississippi State pulls out this win that spot disappears.

I guess the Richmond game could have been worse. Nice call on the Cats game coach.
