I was gonna play Montana until I realized it was at Weber instead of on a neutral court. Can't think of anything more difficult in college hoops than winning a conference tourney final on the road in a one-bid league.

Like Robert Morris just did. Quinnipiac was 15-0 at home this year.

I cant believe I made it through that game without falling asleep or throwing up. I know these are 16 seeds but those teams stink. Plus I thought Quinnipiac was a team from Canada.

It was ugly, but the ND was keeping Seton Hall at bay and once I realized Quinnipiac was undefeated at home this year, the second half became compelling to me.

I loved Quin's late game offensive strategy of shooting off balance 20 footers with no one in position to rebound. I know they never make the call but it looked like the Q guard got nailed on the half court shot at the buzzer.

Neither of the Big Sky teams have any shot at winning a game in the tourney, either. And Weber could be as high as a 13 seed.

You should have... what a brutal meltdown by Weber. They were up 15 with 10 to play!

0-1 -110

Eff, sorry Phil, I figured you were safe up 20 at half. Anthony Johnson just took over that game. He outscored Weber 34-25 in the 2nd half by himself.

I talked to my bro today about the Louisville game. We pretty much agreed that Louisville has been horribly inconsistent all season and the line indicated they were vulnerable. He took the points for two bills. Me? Not a damn cent.

The problem for me was Cincinnati's inability to beat anyone above them in the standings. They had no quality wins in conference. Not a one. But they got it done today. They've got the athleticism to get to the final but don't shoot the ball well enough. Lance would be unstoppable if he settled down a little bit and worked harder at getting in shape. But yeah, Louisville lost to Western Carolina, Charlotte, St. John's by 19 and Marquette by 21 but beat Syracuse twice and Syracuse takes nights off. I wouldn't be too keen on Louisville's tournament chances.
