Sunday BBall Conf. Champs Thread
Final day of championships on tap.
ATLANTIC 10, 12:30, CBS: St. Joseph's 87, VCU 74 Final
SEC, 1:00, ESPN: Kentucky 82, Texas A&M 77 Final/OT
SUNBELT, 1:00, ESPN2: Arkansas-Little Rock 70, Louisiana Monroe 50 Final
B1G, 3:00, CBS: Michigan State 66, Purdue 62 Final
AMERICAN, 3:15, ESPN: Connecticut 72, Memphis 58 Final
Rooting interests: St. Joseph's (possibly knock VCU out), Arkansas-Little Rock (keep auto bid from UL-Monroe), Purdue (RPI boost), UConn (keep auto bid from Memphis and RPI boost)
Edit: didn't realize St. Joe's is projected higher than VCU. VCU loss could knock them to the bubble or out.

Memphis already in the bonus. 11:44 left. Ugh.

Our primary color is blue not maize; maybe they wanted a second light color?

11 team logo
12 team logo with a fifth reddish thing
14 team logo with the latest additions
It looks like this last one better separates 2 colors per team (instead of overlapping), unless that second color is white or doesn't exist. From the top, here are my guesses (big slice then little slice) but that mess of red is just impossible to sort out:
- Iowa Gold, Black
- Michigan Maize, Blue
- Illinois Orange, Blue
- OSU Scarlet, Gray
- Indiana Crimson, Cream?
- Minnesota Maroon, Gold?
- Wisconsin Badger Red and grayish slice instead of White?
- Rutgers Scarlet with similar reddish little slice (no 2nd color)?
- Nebraska Scarlet, Cream?
- Maryland Red, Black (other colors are White and Gold)?
- Northwestern Purple with similar purple little slice (no 2nd color)
- Penn State Blue and a Big Tennish little blue slice instead of White
- Michigan State Green and a greenish little slice instead of White
- Purdue Old Gold, Black
Any better guesses?
about 9 min to go - UConn do it!
That was your last timeout...

Purdue's last with 3+ to play. I hope that doesn't hurt.

Is one of the best games I've watched all year. This is great basketball.

Super weak call.

Purdue going away from what brought them back. No post feeds the last 4 possessions down the court. Those 2 missed FTs would've tied it, too.
Will Purdue melt like that in a close NCAA game? Or can they make a run?

officially sending Memphis to the NIT. That's a nice bracket helper for us.
Don't be surprised to see that team sneak into the Final Four in a few weeks.

I can't get over how Izzo wins an unbelievable percentage of March games that are tossups going into the final minutes. It's uncanny.
(Though on the plus side, Beilein's also pretty good in those types of games this time of year.)
...to depend if Forbes is can hit the three when the opponent tries to stop Valentine. With both of them out of the game State can't dominant (but not like that's easy to do either).
Izzo bags another B1G Tourney Championship and #1 seed coming up. Nothing succeeds like success.
