Yup, it's March Madness. Let the games begin!!!!

[NDSUstudent]

27-4 Coastal Carolina is in a battle with VMI in the Big South semifinals on ESPNU.

[NDSUstudent]

CCU has to play in the smallest gym in DI, looks like a Class B gym in ND.

[sambini]

March Madness Its Here Lets Go Bison

[NDSUstudent]

Lots of great games today, especially the UNI vs Creighton grudge match in the MVC tournament.

[NDSUstudent]

Missouri State #1 seed in the MVC is down 6 to SIU early in the second half.

[DjKyRo]

OVC favorite Murray State knocked out in the first round!

[TheBisonator]

I'm gonna watch the A-Sun championship (thank GOD there's another weblink for it besides ESPN3), where the NORTH FLORIDA OSPREYS have a chance at going to their very FIRST NCAA DI basketball tournament.

They're 15-18 :rofl:

[TheBisonator]

They're 15-18 :rofl:

Hey, it's good for us.

1) Makes us believe that we can do it too

2) Gives us a relatively better seeding position if they pull it off over Belmont and we do in fact run the table in SF

[TheBisonator]

Watching the Big South championship. Coastal Carolina's gym looks about the size of Northern Cass' gym. It's packed to the brim and loud, tho.

[TheBisonator]

And UNC-Asheville becomes the first team to punch their ticket.

[TheBisonator]

Man alive, North Florida being ground into sausage by Belmont. 72-38

Look for Belmont to do something in the tourney.

Yeah yeah yeah... I was buying into the hype that UNF would pop its big dance cherry this year. Forget it.

[NorthernBison]

Watched a bit of Montana State vs Northern Arizona in the Big Sky Tourney on Fox College Sports. Game was at Northern AZ. That looks like a high school gym.

Does the Sky play quarterfinals at campus sites?

I remember we played there in the dance year. The place was awful.

[onbison09]

Just curb-stomped the number 1 seed! :nod: :nod: U-N-T Motherf***in Eagles! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jcck3eepPV0

[ndsubison1]

VCU with a chance to steal a bid

[NDSUstudent]

The Saint Peter's Peacocks are dancing. Old Dominion is also going to the dance.

[onbison09]

UNT on to the championship

[NDSUstudent]

Wofford is dancing.

[NDSUstudent]

Gonzaga wins the WCC and punches their ticket to the dance.

[NDSUstudent]

A lot of things have gone Oakland's way, they are looking at being right on that 12 seed bubble.

[Facts]

UNT on to the championship

fly the UNT avatar with pride...
sweet logo by the way.

[NDSUstudent]

Wow North Texas goes down on a last second three, tough way for onbison's squad to go down.

[Wally]

A 6-1 run in like 20 seconds for ark-lr. Tough loss for unt.

[NDSUstudent]

Oakland is dancing, congrats to Kampe and his Grizzlies now please go win a game or two or three for the Summit.

[NDSUstudent]

Butler punches their ticket as well.

[onbison09]

A 6-1 run in like 20 seconds for ark-lr. Tough loss for unt.

Jesus Christ did we fall apart. Never would've expected that from 4 seniors. Wow.

OK did anyone watch the whole game or at least the part with the elbow? Can someone explain to me why they called an intentional foul? :banghead: Is that just a rule? That last minute and a half was a dumpster fire.

[NDSUstudent]

Wow officiating in the Big East tournament SJU-Rutgers game ended in a way that I doubt Summit League refs could top. A SJU player walked out of bounds with 2 seconds left on the clock and the refs didn't even call anything(they didn't even see it), the horn sounded and they just walked off the court.

St Johns won by 2.

I was just about to post that Rutgers just got Bill Fette'd.

Yeah.....but the sideline can't cause a fumble.....I mean, a travel.....I mean, out of bounds......unless you're playing on a snow covered red court.
That gray haired ref was staring right at it!!!
Unreal.

As a dude who does the same stuff here at NDSU: :rofl:

[NorthernBison]

Montana vs Northern Colorado tonight on the Duece for the Big Sky Title.

[NDSUstudent]

Long Island beats RMU in OT to punch their dance ticket.

Northern Colorado-Montana is on now.

[NDSUstudent]

Northern Colorado is dancing.

[Kermit]

Montana vs Northern Colorado tonight on the Duece for the Big Sky Title.

Montana gets totally homered. This is why conference tournaments need to be at a neutral site.

[NDSUstudent]

Who would have thought when we went DI that NDSU and UNC would dance before the Jacks....

I do agree with Kermit, neutral site is the only way to go.

[NorthernBison]

Montana gets totally homered. This is why conference tournaments need to be at a neutral site.

I'd agree.

Still, congrats to UNC. Another former NCC school makes it to the dance.

[NDSUstudent]

UConn beat Pitt on a buzzer beater, gotta love the Big East Tournament.

[lakesbison]

Montana got screwed by the UNC hometown refs, unc is a joke.

[NorthernBison]

Montana got screwed by the UNC hometown refs, unc is a joke.

Whatever dude, they are dancing. Why the hate? Maybe because you can't stand to see them succeed?

Montana and UNC split the regular season series. Home teams winning both times.

Today, I'm still wondering why the heck Montana refused to pound the ball inside with their two 7 footers. Coach really needs to ask if he is communicating clearly.

I watched the game and I agree with Lakes. Everybody on the Montana team was in big foul trouble. The officiating seemed lopsided.

[NorthernBison]

I watched the game and I agree with Lakes. Everybody on the Montana team was in big foul trouble. The officiating seemed lopsided.

I don't disagree with the foul trouble thing. Were the refs really from Greeley or did Montana just not adjust to the way the game was being called? I just don't understand Lake's uncalled for comment about UNC being a joke. Didn't they win the regular season title in the BSC? They sure as heck finished better than Montana. Thus, the home game last night. They beat Montana by 18 points at home in January.

Maybe Lakes is jealous that UNC is dancing while we can't seem to get out of the lower half of the Summit.

Wasn't UNC like 4-24 a couple years ago? I think the Seniors on that team deserve some recognition and praise instead of being cut down. Cripes, it is their first trip to the Dance. They did something very similar to what we did. Get to the Dance shortly after transitioning. Some teams wait forever to get there.

[Paulie]

Yeah the hate is pretty low class, oops, it's Lakes so it makes sense.

But rather it's an example that a program can turn it around. So no excuses when we can't do it, heck the Jackrabbits who always thought they were untouchable in basketball are seething that UNC has surpassed them by so much so fast.

Learn from it instead of denying it.

[NDSUstudent]

Tar Heels beat Miami at the buzzer!

[NorthernBison]

Tar Heels beat Miami at the buzzer!

North Carolina was down 17 with under 10:00 to play. Miami really didn't finish well. Only lead for UNC in the game was at the final horn.

[NDSUstudent]

Bucknell is dancing...

[ndsubison1]

michigan state up by 17 on Purdue. this is their time of the year

[NDSUstudent]

Craziness in the college basketball world right now....

Wisconsin and Penn State set basketball back 70 years, Penn State beat the Badgers 36-33(Yeah that is the final).

Meanwhile in Vegas Jimmer mania is in full affect, the senior pg from BYU dropped 52 points on New Mexico. The Cougars beat the Lobos 87-76.

Broken shot clock??
I wonder what the combined score low record is in the shot clock era?

[NDSUFan_Sav]

Broken shot clock??

This is the record low at 69 points, before this game it was 85 points combined with Wisconsin beating Michigan 51-34 in 2008

[NDSUstudent]

Memphis is dancing.

[NDSUstudent]

On ESPN2 right now Stony Brook is playing to make the dance for the first time ever. Right now they are up 2 with five minutes to play.

[NDSUstudent]

Boston U is dancing.

[ndsubison1]

Broken shot clock??
I wonder what the combined score low record is in the shot clock era?

they were missing shots like crazy. a bunch of missed layups. just an ugly game. typical big ten game, seems wisconsin has one game a year where they score in the 30-40s or hold their opp. to that

[NDSUstudent]

Hampton is dancing, Princeton beats Harvard to clinch a dance spot and UTSA locks up the Southland's bid.

[NDSUstudent]

One of the teams we beat this year, UCSB, plays Long Beach State for the Big West title at 7 p.m. on ESPN2.

[onbison09]

Kent State and Akron locked up in a tight one for the MAC title. My friend went to Kent and this is like us with UND

[NDSUstudent]

Kent State and Akron are going into OT now, entertaining game to watch to say the least. Great Atmosphere.

[NDSUstudent]

KU wins the Big 12 title and basically locks up a 1 seed.

[NDSUstudent]

Some great games on right now, Akron beat Kent State with some trendomous defense on Kent State's final possession. They are MAC champs.

Arizona and Washington are heading to OT after UW hit two big clutch threes.

wow Isaiah thomas hit a huge shot at the buzzer to win

[NDSUstudent]

Washington beats Arizona on a buzzer beater to win the Pac 10 title and Gus Johnson goes nuts, nothing beats March Madness.

[DjKyRo]

8? Seven is a stretch, don't know if PSU is tournament material win (though the win over Wisconsin certainly helps). Northwestern, Iowa, Minnesota, Indiana are all out and with PSU on the bubble could be looking at six from the Big Ten.

Psus a lock homey I wish them wildcats would get in love them fools with little crawford mr juice and shurna that big serb who drops dimes all day they got no chance? F the fight ima check bull riding versus baby aka my new fav channel not

[NDSUstudent]

I think Penn State belongs in, they've been red hot in their last 10 and have represented well in the Big 10 tourney. The committee should definitely give them the nod.

I think seven might just happen for the Big 10.

What about illinois and or northwestern wildcats both them teams can hoop is brucey bruce going to get canned if illinois don't get in what a waste team has so much talent

[NDSUstudent]

Northwestern is probably headed to the NIT, they needed to take down the OSU.

Brucey Bruce is probably safe, looks like they've beaten seven tournament teams. Their win over the Tar Heels is looking nice right now. They did finish the season in terrible fashion but the bubble is so weak, I'll take the Illini over USC or BC or Va Tech any day.

Looking like..OSU, Purdue, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Penn State and Sparty

I think USC, Va Tech, BC, Bama and Georgia are fighting it out for the last two spots so I'll say seven is a lock for the big 10.

[SlickVic]

Uconn rockin big poppa during the starting line up slash player introductions chea lol uconn baby I wanna see kembya walker just go off like jimmer who

Children should be fresh lol still remember that chea I read his autobiography

[NDSUstudent]

Kemba finally gets back in but no magic at the buzzer this time. As expected UConn struggled with him on the pine.

UCSB is looking good against Dan Monson and The Beach. Bison beat UCSB so at least we might able to say we beat a team in the dance.

[SlickVic]

Definitely jacked up for the Heels vs the Dukies, who wouldn't get jacked up to watch Tray Wright's AAU teammate Harrison Barnes hoop it up right now. Guy was ridiculous today against Clemson.

[NDSUstudent]

OSU will probably make it to the final four, Purdue and Wisconsin could make a run if they get a good draw. Always have to watch out for Izzo in the dance, they'll get a low seed but they'll be my upset special in round 1 along with Penn State(gotta love Battle).

Seeds
OSU-1(lock
Purdue-3
Wisconsin-4
Illinois-10
Michigan-10
Penn St-12
Michigan St-12

Timmy's squad will be heading the NIT for sure, wouldn't be shocked if they host a game either. Bad finish but they got some nice wins and an RPI of 49. Hopefully the get their act together and Timmy is in the Big Apple in a few weeks.

Bracket selection just minutes away...Some predictions....

OSU, Kansas, ND and Duke willl be 1 seeds. OSU #1 overall.

Oakland will be a 13 seed and will most likely play Wisconsin(maybe in Denver) but I also think Kentucky, BYU or Louisville is possible.

Big 10 gets seven in.

[NDSUstudent]

Oakland gets Texas, in Tulsa. Interesting matchup.

[Hammersmith]

What I'm noticing:

Summit champ: 13 seed
Missouri Valley champ: 14 seed
Big Sky champ: 15 seed

[TheBisonator]

[DjKyRo]

Colorado St. not in. :(

[heckler]

Harvard not in... who got left out that should be in? Any seeds that are just wrong? CBS picking Oakland for the big upset.

[NDSUstudent]

Va Tech one of the last teams out, just crazy every year it happens. Colorado also had an argument to be included.

[heckler]

How did Florida get a #2 seed? Even lost to Jacksonville and UCF.

[NDSUstudent]

The whining about Va Tech not getting in is ridiculous....They beat Duke and then just quit playing for the next few games. I watched the game and it was clear they thought they had their bid locked up.

VCU deserved to be in. I can see the beef with UAB, but Clemson is the team that really didn't belong. They didn't have one top 50 win but hey lets just sit around and bash the mid-majors who had great seasons and beat the teams on their schedule. Sorry for the rant but after watching ESPN my blood was boiling.
