ATB: Super Weekend

Posted by rtmsf on February 4th, 2008

ATB v.4

Was there a football game this weekend? Maybe that’s why we couldn’t find a hoops game on anywhere after 5pm today.

Weekend Wrapup:

  • #7 Georgetown 73, Seton Hall 61. The Hoyas continue to look like the class of the Big East.
  • Maryland 88, Georgia Tech 86. Osby with 18/11. Would a third-place team in the ACC please stand up?
  • Syracuse 87, Villanova 73. Nova is in free fall mode (3-6 in the Big East), while Cuse is quietly regrouping.
  • #17 Marquette 75, Cincinnati 60. God, the middle of the Big East is murky.
  • Connecticut 60, #21 Pittsburgh 53. Watch out for the Huskies – they’re starting to get it together (5 Ws in a row).
  • Kentucky 63, Georgia 58. The Cats are finally back above .500 (10-9).
  • #1 Memphis 70, UTEP 64. UTEP led this game with just over a minute remaining – the Tigers are getting bored and unfocused.
  • Virginia Tech 72, Virginia 65 (OT). Good night, Virginia?
  • Missouri 77, #22 Kansas St. 74. Hmmm… guess K-State is a young team, huh?
  • #10 Texas 80, Baylor 72. Baylor is still quietly playing well just under the Big 12 radar.
  • Rhode Island 82, Dayton 70. Two weeks ago Dayton looked like the best mid-major in America. They’ve now lost 4 of 5.
  • Louisville 87, Rutgers 50. Complete and utter destruction.
  • #16 Stanford 67, #8 Washington St. 65 (OT). Tremendous game that neither team wanted to win down the stretch.
  • Arkansas 80, #21 Florida 61. Perhaps Arkansas is the new “it” team in the SEC this week (after MSU and Florida the last two).
  • #2 Kansas 72, Colorado 59. KU still looked hung over for most of this one.
  • #3 Duke 88, Miami (FL) 73. Can we go ahead and get to the Duke-Carolina game on Wednesday?
  • Purdue 83, Illinois 75. Illinois really sucks.
  • Texas A&M 60, Oklahoma 52. Can you believe OU’s Blake Griffin (6/8) is #1 on the Big Board (2009)? We neither.
  • South Carolina 80, #19 Ole Miss 77. Ole Miss shouldn’t be ranked.
  • California 79, Washington 75. Really tough weekend for the Washington schools (both swept at home).
  • Iowa 53, Ohio St 48. Another confounding performance from the Buckeyes. We can’t figure them out.
  • #6 Tennessee 76, Mississippi St. 71. UT is really starting to impress us.
  • #14 Drake 83, Indiana St. 77. Is The Drake going to run the table (11-0 in the MVC)?
  • Penn St. 85, #8 Michigan St. 76. It’s games like this and Iowa that mean we cannot pick MSU to go very far in March.
  • #5 UCLA 82, Arizona 60. UCLA’s looked like the best team in America its last two games.
  • USC 67, Arizona St. 53. USC’s win over UCLA may have turned around their season.
  • #11 Indiana 75, Northwestern 63. E-Giddy with 29 as IU went to 7-1 in the B10.
  • NC State 67, Wake Forest 65. NCSU won this one on a putback dunk at the buzzer.
  • #4 UNC 84, Florida St. 73 (OT). Hansbrough with 22/21 as Lawson sprained his ankle and is questionable for the Duke game.
  • #13 Wisconsin 63, Minnesota 47. You really have to marvel at the consistency of Bo Ryan’s program.

NCAA Tournament Field (if we were choosing today):

  • America East – Vermont
  • Atlantic 10 – Xavier, Rhode Island
  • ACC – Duke, UNC, Clemson, Maryland
  • Atlantic Sun – Jacksonville
  • Big 12 – Kansas, Kansas St., Texas, Texas A&M, Baylor, Oklahoma
  • Big East – Georgetown, Louisville, Syracuse, Notre Dame, Marquette, UConn, West Virginia, Pittsburgh
  • Big Sky – N. Arizona
  • Big South – UNC-Asheville
  • Big 10 – Wisconsin, Indiana, Purdue, Ohio St., Michigan St.
  • Big West – Cal St. Northridge
  • CAA – VCU, George Mason
  • CUSA – Memphis, Houston
  • Horizon – Butler
  • Ivy – Cornell
  • MAAC – Rider
  • MAC – Kent St.
  • MEAC – Morgan St.
  • MVC – Drake
  • Mountain West – UNLV, BYU
  • NEC – Sacred Heart
  • OVC – Austin Peay
  • Pac-10 – UCLA, USC, Stanford, Washington St., Arizona, California
  • Patriot – Lafayette
  • SEC – Tennessee, Florida, Mississippi St., Vanderbilt, Ole Miss, Arkansas
  • Southern – Davidson
  • Southland – Stephen F. Austin
  • SWAC – Alabama St.
  • Summit – Oral Roberts
  • Sun Belt – W. Kentucky
  • WCC – Gonzaga, St. Mary’s
  • WAC – Utah St.

Where’d we mess up? Trust us, there are some arguable picks in there, we know.

    I think if Dayton can get healthy and get their acts together (meaning not rely on Brian Roberts to carry the team ALL the time), I think they still have a chance at an-at large bid. They lost two critical guys at the forward position to various ankle/leg injuries and it has not been pretty since – losing to SLU, RI and UMASS. Ugh.

    A-10 def. gets a third team. Then drop out Houston.
