Friday Update, part tres
Wow. The evening games have been MUCH better. Got a Big Ten special on the way from Pizza Express, but before it gets here, some updates:
- We have officially lost a bubble slot. Xavier falls 79-71 to Rhode Island in the Atlantic 10 semifinals. Xavier's got a profile that's worth of an at-large bid, so we can expect two teams out of the A-10. Illinois, Kansas State, Drexel, and Old Dominion are now on notice.
- Oklahoma State still hasn't won a road game, but they picked up a key neutral court victory over a sleepwalking Texas A&M team in the first evening contest in the Big 12. Oklahoma State is still on the outside looking in, but if they can beat Texas in the next round, look out.
- The 1 seed in the MAC tournament is toast! Miami (OH) takes out Toledo, 58-53, in what was a very entertaining game between two teams that couldn't possibly have been more different. Miami basically consists of a team of slow white guys that run a motion offense, while Toledo was all athleticism and perimeter steals. Surprisingly, Miami held on for the win. Does this open the door for Akron?
- Great game in the Big East semifinals between Notre Dame and Georgetown. Despite having a 14 point lead in the first half, the Irish can't hold on, and Georgetown marches on to the Big East final.
- The overrated nature of the ACC continues to stick out like a sore thumb. Virginia, the alleged #2 seed in the ACC tournament, loses to North Carolina State.
- Houston knocks off Rice in the C-USA semifinal. Tom Penders (yes, THAT Tom Penders) and company now get the misfortune of taking on Memphis on their home court.
- Florida laid waste to Georgia, starting the game on an insanely long scoring run and leading 35-14 at halftime. With a little over three minutes to play, Florida still leads by 16.
- Nevada and Utah State are locked in mortal combat in Las Cruces. At the under 8 timeout, the score is tied at 57.
- Wisconsin looked mightily impressive in their game, knocking off Michigan State by 13.
Alright, pizza's here. More updates later on in the evening.
