2025 Conference Tournaments

With SU hopeless I haven’t been paying attention to the bubble. Was Gonzaga safe if they lost in the WCC final?

183 left. Virginia had a tough season after Tony Bennett’s surprise retirement.

182 left. Cincinnati really needed this one after some late season struggles.

181 left. Rice is officially cooked.

180 left. South Carolina played a lot of good teams close, but barely have any wins to show for it.

179 left. Wyoming immediately loses in the postseason—just like another Cowboys team usually does.

178 left. Rhode Island didn’t last very long.

177 left. Southern goes down in a stunning SWAC upset!

176 left. Notre Dame did not play like a champion today.

175 left. Another disappointing season for Minnesota is in the books.

174 left. That’s all she wrote for Providence.

173 left. Fresno State’s season is over.

172 left. UMass just played their final minutes of the season.

166 left. It's 8:38... Not a very cool season for Georgetown.

165 left. Kansas State will always have that one 6-game win streak where they had some of the best efficiency stats in the nation. The rest of the season… yikes.

163 left. Cal loses in what looks more like a Pac 12 tournament game than an ACC one.

162 left. LSU is out and likely the last SEC team that will be eliminated before Selection Sunday… and maybe even the NCAA tournament itself.

159 left. Adios, Florida A&M.

150 left. UC Davis struggled in the second half tonight.

We are about an hour away from adding Georgetown to the out list (Down 14 at the half against Depaul).
At least we will last longer than them.

(EDIT - game was not at the half, and Georgetown has cut the lead down to 4, with 23 minutes still to go. I may have jumped the gun!)

4 assists and 4 turnovers this afternoon. Good play overall in the minutes I watched.

he led the conference in assist percentage and steal percentage and was the best defender on McNeese (more than 200 minutes). He can't shoot threes and takes too many circus shots, but McNeese is a good team and he doesn't need to. Not sure about the academic stats, but I'm sure Will Wade has those covered. I would bet dollars to donuts that Copeland goes where Wade goes next season.
