Let us all rejoice, as MSU picked up its resume defining win over PSU and are now a lock for the NCAA tournament, because how can you deny a team that lost to Kentucky by 20 points?

Love this thread...reminds me of football Saturdays.

There have been some great games.

With that said, I'm really only interested in this Duke/L'Ville game, Xavier/Butler and UVA/ND.

With UM/Illinois out of the way, I'm looking forward to Rutgers and Northwestern.

The winner of that game faces 3rd seed Maryland, who has not played all that well lately, and may press due to being so close to home.

Interesting tourney with so much parity in Big Ten Mens BBall this season.

MSU is destroying PSU and Marquette looks like they're gonna lose to Seton Hall.

Duke and Louisville in a close one, Duke up 5 with 2 left.

Biggest surprise is TCU up 10(!) on Kansas with 13 left in the second. Would be a huge upset and TCU could potnetially steal a bid/get back on the bubble.

Louisville just botched that possession badly. Awful shot and they still had a TO. 

Duke wins 81-77 after being down 12 in the second half.

Two jobs in Ohio just opened up in the Horizon, there's a possibility that Eastern could open up, not to mention any number of low major jobs who might be interested in a guy who won 20 games a year multiple times.

Good Lord, what happened in the Indiana / Iowa game? I checked it half an hour ago, and it was 53-50 Indiana; it's now 91-62! So much for Iowa's bubble hopes. Peter Jok is going out on a sour note, we won't get to enjoy Fran's blow-ups in the tournament, and we're going to have to put up with another year of Tom Crean. I guess it helps our RPI though.... #AlwaysLookOnTheBrightSideOfLife

If I were a Hawkeye fan I'd be sick of his act by now.  Three NCAA bids in seven years and no advancement past the round of 32.  Given the impressive freshmen talent on the team I would guess he'll get at least one more year but another so-so season would make things very dicey.
