Other Basketball 3/1-3/7

Richmond just had their guts ripped out. Down as many as 9 in the last few minutes and forced their way back in, had .4 seconds on an inbounds, big guy hits a three from the corner, replay it was still on his fingertips - no good, game over.

Loss also means they probably have to win the A-10 now to make the tourney.

Syracuse doing the lord's work beating the tar heels and if they can pull this out it would be beautiful to see UNC get an NIT bid

Directions from Blacksburg to whoville, go north till you smell it then go east until you step in it

Not going to happen. They win their first round ACC game and they get in. I will be cheering on UNCheat against Duke though. Seeing Duke finish .500 or worse would be beautiful

With UNC losing, I assume now we need to win 1 game to secure a double bye? Or is there a tiebreaker scenario where Clemson gets it if we have the same record?

Beating Louisville will help the most.

Never Forget #1 Overall Seed UVA 54, #64 UMBC 74

In so many ways. Getting that streak off our backs will be a huge break.

Don't pay much attention to Cards roster. How much does this affect our game?

His name ain't on the box score from the Jan 6 game, so no change over last time. He started in two games this month, but stats don't stand out. UL has gotten used to not having him. Not sure if anyone else is banged up on their roster though, so maybe some impacts on trying to manage minutes heading into ACC tourney.

Georgia tech with the best offensive possesion of the year right there to leave the door open for a duke win. What an awful decision

This game is entertaining but both teams are not good, duke has zero perimeter he without hurts and GT are about the same

Puke are awful if it isn't a screen and lob they have zero offense no way this is a tournament team

GT incredibly sloppy at end of OT has made this a game that Duke almost won.

officially eliminates Duke from the NCAAT (unless they win ACCT, which they won't).

Holy crap. Illinois put it to Michigan.

Wet stuff on the red stuff.

Very surprising, especially without their star guard.

Computers have liked Illinois all year

Having a legit NBA center in college basketball is like having a unicorn. Team's don't know how to handle it. Certainly a better team with Dosunmu though.

Clemson getting railed by syracuse they're on a roll in the wrong way.

Does that count WVU, cause OT vs. a top 3 team shouldn't make them drop.

Yes, two of the five lost to other ranked teams, just showing the turmoil already early in the week.

Helps us. Last two games cancelled, next day Lunardi moves us from a 7 back to a 6.

FSU lost to Notre Dame of all teams

8 ranked teams have now lost this week, with 7 with games still pending this weekend.

We finished 3rd y'all! Not bad considering we were picked to finish 11th!
Looks like we'll either play UNC or Louisville in the quarterfinals. (I think I'd rather get Louisville).
LET'S GO!!!

Love the 3rd ranking in conference but damn that's a tough bracket.

Really not in love with UNC as the likely first game. That is a brutal draw for us.

They are playing well and who knows what we are going to look like.

Up to 11 ranked teams losing this week now

8 more ranked teams play tomorrow with two ranked matchups, so at least 13 ranked teams will lose this week.
