Pitt with a put back with .7 seconds left to upset Stanford in the opening round of the ACC tourney. CBS had Stanford in the last 4 in and Lunardi had them in the first 4 out. They are eliminated now with this loss

That's funny because just yesterday ESPN CBB commentators were hyping up Stanford and saying they could make a run in the ACC tourney, upset Virginia and make the tournament.

Really disappointed in B1G coaches and Media not choosing Bruce Thornton for 1st Team All-B1G. I don't think Pryce Sandfort belonged on there over Bruce (coaches choice) and Keaton Wagler was a freshman who didn't score as much so I'm a little surprised he was chosen over Bruce as well.

I don't get Pryce Sandfort being chosen 1st-team All-B1G over Bruce Thornton. Pryce Sandfort is a JUNIOR. Bruce deserves any tiebreaker because he's a SENIOR. Yes, Nebraska finished higher in the league standings, but c'mon, being in a 3-way tie for second (a DISTANT second 4 games behind #1) doesn't make a player more deserving of 1st team all-conference honors.

Stat comparison:
PPG Thornton 20.1, Sandfort 17.9
APG Thornton 3.9, Sandfort 2.0
RPG Thornton 5.2, Sandfort 4.9
FG% Thornton 55.8, Sandfort 47.8
3P% Thornton 39.7, Sandfort 40
Stl Thornton 1.2, Sandfort 1.0

I fail to see the aspect of the game where Sandfort demonstrated superior performance individually compared with Bruce Thornton. This was a disgraceful choice by B1G coaches and Media.

The B1G all-freshman team was Wagler (FOY), Steinbach, Mirkovic, Frager and McKenney. Mingo from PSU was snubbed big-time there, not sure how he was not on there. While you can make a case for Amare Bynum, it's obviously a situation where they chose the players on better teams with similar production.
