February 11, 200719 yr Make the Buckeyes number two now. *Overrated but it is cool to see them getting some love.
February 11, 200719 yr I wonder how far you will have to go back to find out the last time UCONN, LSU, and Michigan State missed the NCAA Tourney in the same year.
February 11, 200719 yr I wonder how far you will have to go back to find out the last time UCONN, LSU, and Michigan State missed the NCAA Tourney in the same year. It's a darn shame that Tom Izzo and Jim Calhoun are such terrible coaches. :sssh:

February 12, 200719 yr Help me out, you say Louisville needs to run the table...and...both teams should get in. Is that to say you expect UL to run the table from here on out? Just to be clear, I think UL will get a dance invitation, but I most assuredly don't think they're going to run anything out. No what I was meaning was win the games they need to. They can't have any let downs and lose.

February 12, 200719 yr Duke [18-6 (5-5), RPI: 14, SOS: 4] Given the 18-3 start, the thought of Duke missing the NCAAs seems outrageous on the surface, but a quick look at the remaining schedule shows it's not impossible. Having lost four straight, the Devils still have road games left at BC, Clemson and UNC. If they don't get any of those, they are 7-9 (at best) in ACC play. What happens if they then fall in the ACC quarters? Could the committee possibly leave out a 21-win Duke team? A lot would have to go wrong down the stretch, but this team is no longer an absolute lock to get in. Do remember, though, that Duke has beaten Air Force, Georgetown, Indiana and Gonzaga in nonconference play. That's better than a lot of high-majors. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/bubblewatch?id=43

If they are losing games by 10 or less, they should be fine. Those 10-15 point losses are the ones they need to avoid. They're just not playing with a lot of confidence right now.
February 12, 200719 yr Duke is not currently on the bubble. Currently? No. Potentially? Without a doubt.
February 13, 200719 yr OK. Well then let me ask you what have they done to be ranked #3 in the country?Well they have #4 RPI?:confused:
