March 1st

So it's March! Time for the games to get that much more exciting!

Let's take a look at the weekend.....
Syracuse moves in to the #1 Overall Seed after crushing the Wildcats of Villanova.
Kansas, Kentucky, and Duke are the last #1's followed very closely by K-State who had a nice win over Missouri

Ok St. a huge win, they are a lock now, giving the Big 12 7 locks.
Notre Dame needs another solid week and they will move into the field
Tennesse got a huge home win over Kentucky
Illinois had a very costly loss that probably would have seeled them in the field instead much work needs to be done by the Illini.
Rhode Island needs to win the A 10 tourney now to get a bid.

Feb. 24th Bracket

First off....Terrible, Terrible game for Northern Iowa...you cannot afford to lose a game to by far and away the worst team in your conference and I don't care if it's on the road. Completely unexpected. This one really hurt UNI because I believe they were an at-large if they didn't win the MVC tourney, but know they have to win it.
Florida really cemented their at-large chances with the home win over Tennessee and Illinois also with a very big win on the road vs. Michigan.  This gives the Illini 10 conference wins, but they do have a tough finish. I feel with 11 conference wins they should be fine.
Louisville......what to say about this team...a very disappointing effort tonight.  Still in the field, but they still need to show me something coming up.
All other games went as planned on the night.
