On Senior Day, the Buckeyes scored 92 and managed to lose. Today, scUM gives up 91 and wins.

This season just keeps getting better. :getout:

Michigan will end up dying trying to live on the 3 point shot....

three-point percentage defense

oklahoma st. - 194th
louisville - 13th


also, oksu had a 10-rebound edge on the offensive glass. at 13th in the nation per offensive rebounding, it's not a surprise, especially since ttun is a bad defensive rebounding team (207th). unfortunately for the skunkbears, louisville is just as good as oksu on the offensive glass (12th).

on the flip side, louisville is bad at putting the other team on the line (267th in opponent free throws per offensive play) and ttun is stellar at converting (77% ft). the cards play outstanding defense (12th in effective fg% defense), but they foul a lot. against a team like ours, that's not the greatest risk. against ttun, though...

all in all, i think louisville wins. solid perimeter defense against a team that lives by the 3 + great offensive rebounding against a bad defensive rebounding team + no big difference in turnover rate = ttun loss.

Once again, the final minute. *shakes head*

Seton Hall gets called for a flagrant foul during the usual foul-o-rama - where everyone knows the fouls are intentional but they're almost never called that way - and it kills whatever chance they had left.

Of course, if the rules didn't encourage fouling...

Dook, Kentucky and Kansas will likely win in blowout fashion, but Miami-Sparty and Dayton-Wichita could be good. The Juggalos play as well.

Yea, add UCLA to the blowout train, they should smack Kent State off the floor.

Hopefully the other 4 are decent though. I suspect Marquette/South Carolina will a competitive one as well.

The refs just royally fucked Seton Hall.

Setin Hall fucked Seton Hall. They couldn't dribble the second to last possession and turned it over. Next possession, they traveled. They didn't even get shots off on their chances to win the game. They made their bed...and I picked Seton Hall in that game. They just flat out blew it.
