238 left. Drexel can’t drag it out any further.

237 left. Nebraska will miss the Big Ten tournament and now has no business hearing their name called on Selection Sunday.

236 left. Bucknell—the #1 seed in the Patriot League—goes down!

235 left. Colgate gets brushed aside.

234 left. North Alabama comes up short in the end—and Lipscomb is now dancing!

233 left. Bradley had all-time bad start to the second half and it cost them—now Drake is officially in!

232 left. Over and out for William & Mary.

231 left. Another #1 seed fails to make the semis as Chattanooga goes down!

230 left. Houston Christian isn’t the best team in Houston to say the least.

229 left. South Alabama loses, meaning yet another #1 seed is out early!

228 left. Hampton is free to vacation in the Hamptons.

227 left. VMI’s run ends here.

Bryan Hodgson & 4 seed Arkansas St. playing 3 seed Troy for the Sun Belt Championship on ESPN2 right now. Ark St. up 3 with 8 min left. Hannibal Lunardi projects the winner to get the top line 14 seed.

 

[cuseattle]

Troy on a 9-0 run. They're up 70-64 wit a little over 4 min remaining

Yeah, Ark St. just choking this away. Down 78-70 with 2:46 left. Whatcha got, Hodgson?

 

[OrangeXtreme]

218 left. Unfortunately for Towson, their great season ends prematurely.

217 left. Furman loses to the lowest seed they played in the whole tournament—which means Wofford is dancing!

216 left. Idaho State entered as the favorite… and got absolutely blown out.

215 left. Arkansas State fell apart in the final minutes—which means much like the end of High School Musical, Troy won the basketball game and is now dancing!

214 left. Oakland won’t be a darling Cinderella again this season.

213 left. Spread the word: Incarnate Word is out after losing in OT.

212 left. Props to Pepperdine for a surprise, run but they were overmatched tonight.

211 left. Charleston loses a nail-biter.

210 left. Portland State falls in another Starch Madness upset!

209 left. Cleveland State couldn’t tie it up with the final possession.

208 left. San Francisco has a decent resume, but tonight’s Q1 opportunity was a must win to stay alive. They’re almost certainly still on the wrong side of the bubble.

Hodgson really DID consult Crean on how to beat a zone!

Yikes.

Kind of ironic because the Blue Hens are coached by a local guy, Martin Inglesby, and I run into his Dad occasionally. Last time I saw him he was complaining about NIL and how the Hens couldn't keep anybody.
