Half court+ shot made at half for w.virgina. Hugggins looked less than amused for his interview, team came out flat. I wonder what BU thinks of his mentors game tonight.

LOL....I think Sexton might take down Auburn tomorrow before FBI get them.
I'm pretty sure NCAA is banning that FBI team from messing up the tournament.
The FBI has some lock down defenders who will be able to handcuff Auburn's players and make them plead for mercy.

Any word if Underwood is doing any tv analysis gigs during the tourney? I think he'd be pretty insightful, and it wouldn't hurt to get the publicity for recruiting.
Potential NIT autobid clinched?
St. Bonaventure and Rhode Island and possibly Lipscomb or Murray St depending on seeding/matchups
Cuonzo is a lot better coach than people are giving him credit for. In California he had 2 seasons where he lost 2 starters to injuries one year and 3 starters the other year.
At Mizzou he hired Cornell Mann to run a pro offense. It's actually Fred Hoiberg's offense. He hasn't been able to fully implement it yet because of lack of talent and no legit point guard. He also ended the season with 7 scholarship players. They still won 20 games without one of the top players in the nation and finished tied for 4th place in the SEC, which is one of if not the best conferences this year. Predictions have at least 7 SEC schools making the NCAA tournament. A ball handling point guard and a few breaks and they win a couple more.

You lost me on this. The BIG 12 is better than the SEC. I would almost say that the ACC is better. The SEC is a fine conference but certainly not the best. Mizzou finish 4th to me is sort of like Nebraska finishing fourth - its factual but it doesn't prove much.
You could be right but the SEC went 6 and 4 in the Big 12-SEC challenge. Auburn, Missouri, Miss State, and LSU didn't play in it this year.
According to the latest bracketology, the SEC is looking at 8 teams in the NCAA tourney and the Big Ten will probably have 4. This year, the SEC is definitely the better league.

Yes, they are certainly deeper. B1G is significantly better at the top.
If you throw all B1G and SEC teams into one pot, the three best teams are all B1G: Michigan State, Michigan, Purdue. Then probably Auburn.

From top down, SEC is better than B1G, but i think the Big12 has them both beat. The top of the B1G is pretty tough. I suppose the tourney will tell us alot. I'm hoping Bruce pearl gets his butt kicked
Im not sure if Porter will help Mizzou perform last longer than the first weekend. We shall see.It would have to be a one man show. Alabama is awful as a team. Just awful.

Well, Lunardi has Mizzou as an 8 seed right now, so they probably won't make it out of the first weekend with or without MPJ. And you have to wonder if he even makes them better, coming in this late in the season and potentially changing the dynamics of the team.
They really don't have a choice. They are down to 7 scholarship players without him from the latest injury. Brett Rau a walk on played 9 minutes yesterday. He's played 13 minutes in conference games all year.
