Butler currently up 12 against Nova a few minutes into the second half. Butler is 8-13 & the 124th ranked team in KenPom.

Big for us. Villanova should be firmly off the two line if they lose
Butler up 15 quickly after Nova went on a mini run to get it to a two score game. I'm liking where this is headed so far

Butler up 10 with 4 minutes to go. Butler is 4-11 at the free throw line with three straight missed front ends of 1&1s.
Villanova down 14 with 2 minutes left against Butler. That is a Northwestern, Nebraska kind of loss, bye bye Nova.
Worst case for Monday is that we're still at #5. If the Buckeyes lose today, we are #4 and the incumbent final #1 seed.
Can't wait for 3pm, as much as it pains me to root for the Mccaffreys.

I'm not even sure OSU losing to Iowa is necessary to bump them, but it would make it a given.

With all the pretenders (those teams ranked 8-20 in the AP poll) starting to fall back, it's really looking like just 6-7 teams that can win it all this year.
Win or lose, I hope MSU leaves Maryland sore.
Terps looking good so far
Calillini
Now appearing in Tampa
Rooting for Maryland to win AND leave MSU licking some serious wounds. MSU is my new Iowa. But just today. MSU can recover against UM.

Saw on the scroller during our game that Garza's backup (Nunge) is out for the rest of the season with a torn ACL.
Hawks frontcourt is going to be a little thin the rest of the season.

If anyone wants to see the last 4:00 of yesterdays game it's on ESPNU now.
I would like to see a rampaging Zamboni machine find its way to the MSU sideline

And that’s putting it nicely. They have zero viable backups over 6’8”. And even those guys (Keegan Murray, Pat McCaffery) are sticks.
Wouldn't be upset if it took out the tall bald ref as well.

Iowa will be a popular pick to get upset in round one of the tourney.
Haven’t watched any of MSU game, but from box score it doesn’t look like Sissoko has played. I know he only averages about 8 mpg, but seem strange.
Turgeon is a very good coach. He gets the best out of his players

My brain is a bit fried from studying and job hunting, but ... are there obvious teams we should be rooting for or against today?
Michigan State at Maryland - This one doesn't really matter, right? Both beat us. Maybe cheer for MSU to get their NET up?
#9 Iowa at #4 Ohio State - I would assume we'd root for Iowa, as we have not beaten OSU (yet), and we want that Iowa win to remain as shiny as possible? Wouldn't it also make it A LOT easier to get the 2-seed in the BTT?
Beyond that, I would assume we would just want any team ranked between 6-10 to lose so that we don't fall in the rankings! Nice start with Butler taking down #8 Villanova! I would think we would remain above #9 Iowa, given Michigan destroyed them, but #9 winning at #4 could possibly jump #5 if people were impressed enough with the win.
