The officials did all they could to give the game to Purdue. Calls at the end of the game defied reason.

 

[stuckinbig11]

Purdue does not deserve the #1 seed unless they get points for allowing the opponent to run lay-up drill during the game, with no defense.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Houston has a problem.

 

[swish7]

Houston, a likely 1 seed & the top team in the country has scored 32 points in 36 minutes tonight.

I find it absolutely laughable that the pundits have North Carolina as a 1 seed if they beat NC State tonight over Iowa State.

North Carolina has 3 top 25 NET wins - #6 Tennessee, #10 Duke, #10 Duke
Iowa State has 5 NET top 25 wins - #1 Houston (28 pt. win), #1 Houston, #13 BYU, #14 Baylor, #16 Kansas.

Iowa State - 10 quad 1 wins. UNC - 9 quad 1 wins. So what exactly has UNC done to get a 1 seed over them?

Temple over FAU!

Bye bye UVA. ACC is 3 bid league now unless NCSU wins tonite.

People had UNM out as late as 5 minutes ago. They might get an 8 or 9 seed.

I don’t think FAU is safe. That is loss #3 below the Q3 line.

 

[PoppyHart]

Somebody will need to explain to me how Dayton (projected 8-seed) has a better resume than UNM.

UNM:
SDSU x2
Nevada x2
Colorado St.
Utah State
Boise State

Dayton:
St. John’s
SMU
Cincy
LSU
Davidson
Duquesne
St. Joe’s
VCU

NET: 22 vs. 23

Bad losses: UNM vs UNLV (really?) and UNM vs. Air Force

I don’t think FAU is safe. That is loss #3 below the Q3 line.

They're 33 in the NET, and 9-5 Q1/Q2. I think they're safely in.

They're 33 in the NET, and 9-5 Q1/Q2. I think they're safely in.

I think they make for a more fun tournament, so I want them to get in, but losses against FGCU, Temple, and Bryant. Only 2 quad 1 wins. I don’t think you can make the argument that they were snubbed if they don’t get selected.

KSU made a basket to go up 1 with under 5s left and then a kid intentionally fouled an Akron player off the inbound, not knowing the score. Akron makes both FTs.

He's going to live with that forever. Tough to watch.

I lived in NE OH for a decade and lived around Akron (was just back last week for work). Akron and Kent are pretty big rivals and within like 20min of each other.

Bye bye UVA. ACC is 3 bid league now unless NCSU wins tonite.

I think Kadary and the Hall are also in deep trouble.

 

[PoppyHart]

Would an NCSU win complete the greatest conference tourney run ever? Beating 5 former NCAA champs in 5 days has never been done.

 

[PoppyHart]

I think Kadary and the Hall are also in deep trouble.

I don’t know how a bubble team can beat the #1 overall seed by 15 and a presumptive 2 seed (Marquette) and be passed over by other hot garbage. But metrics, ya know.
