I was at the sweater game. Who else? So was I. Among other members of the Chic crew from the Class of 1978.

Not going to say that last foul was a flop...but there is something very enjoyable watching that call go against a team coached by a Dukie.

Appreciate the sentiment, but I don't know how this half of basketball can be mentioned in the same breath as that game. Hence my framing it only as point total, you old curmudgeon. I resemble that comment, Dan.

Not quite holding Kentucky to 11 in the second half March 31, 1984, but at least by points it was not a bad half of defense. Appreciate the sentiment, but I don't know how this half of basketball can be mentioned in the same breath as that game.

GU 32.4% first half shooting...MU 21.4%.

Bile's ability to throw up an airball followed by a make should not be taken for granted. He certainly doesn't dwell on missed shots.

That loud rotating sound that you hear is James Naismith, spinning in his grave, after watching the first ten minutes of this slopfest.

Big East refs at it again. That guy was a foot inbounds when he caught it. Good for us! Maybe he hadn't established position back inbounds after being out of bounds? He was clearly inbounds when he got the ball.

Have to think it would be quite a pay cut to go back to Georgetown after earning $750,000 a year on the Plains No inside info, but her departure might have not been well received, given that she had signed a contract renewal two years earlier. Georgetown doesn't like to see itself as a way station to better jobs. Auburn will pay her out for the remaining two years on her contract so that's a $1.5M check and depending on the terms she might have to sit it out to claim the amount. With the exception of the position of men's head basketball coach, hasn't it been true that the Hilltop has in fact been a way station to better jobs? And while I appreciate that she may not be willing to accept a payout after what she earned at Auburn, she may not find a comparable salaried position elsewhere at a Power 5 school based upon her won-loss record over the past few years.

The college basketball season has now reached the conference tournament component of the year, and Gonzaga continues to hold onto the top spot in the Associated Press Top 25. The Bulldogs have been idle since last weekend, as they earned a double-bye in the West Coast Conference Tournament, and enter their semifinal round game against Saint Mary’s with an unblemished 24-0 record, Baylor moved back into the #2 slot, after the Bears concluded a 21-1 regular season with victories over then-#17 ranked Oklahoma State (81-70) and then-#18 ranked Texas Tech (88-73). The Big Ten Conference filled out the rest of the top five, as Illinois moved into the #3 slot, Michigan fell to #4, and Iowa remained at #5; the Illini won road contests at then-#2 ranked Michigan (76-53) and then-#7 ranked Ohio State (73-68); the Wolverines, in addition to the Illinois defeat, split with Michigan State (winning 69-50 in Ann Arbor and losing 70-64 at East Lansing); the Hawkeyes defeated Nebraska (102-64) and then-#25 ranked Wisconsin (77-73).
Villanova and Creighton continue to be the only two Big East Conference schools ranked in the AP Top 25. The Wildcats dropped four slots to #14 after defeating then-#14 ranked Creighton, 72-60, and losing at unranked Providence, 54-52, while the Bluejays fell three slots to #17 after following the Villanova loss with a 93-73 victory over Butler. Connecticut, once again, is the only other Big East Conference team receiving any votes in this week’s poll.
Virginia and Oklahoma State had the largest poll advances amongst ranked teams in this week’s rankings. The Cavaliers jumped five slots to #16 after defeating Miami (Florida), 62-51, and Louisville, 68-58, while the Cowboys moved up five slots to #12 after sandwiching an 81-70 loss to then-#3 ranked Baylor with wins over then-#16 ranked Oklahoma (79-75) and then-#6 ranked West Virginia (85-80). Oklahoma had the largest fall amongst ranked teams, dropping nine spots to #25 after the Sooners extended their losing streak to four games with the loss to Oklahoma State and a 69-65 loss to then-#15 ranked Texas. Wisconsin, formerly #25, fell out of the AP Top 25 after the Badgers extended their losing streak to three games after road losses to then-#23 ranked Purdue (73-69) and #5 ranked Iowa (77-73). Returning to the Top 25 in Wiskey’s stead is Southern California, which is now ranked #24 after the Trojans defeated Stanford (79-42) and California Los Angeles (64-63).
As previously noted, last minute modifications and cancellations may occur, and I will attempt to update this weekly missive whenever I learn of tournament schedule changes; no warranties of accuracy, express or implied, are made.
Game times listed are Eastern Standard Time for all games played through Saturday, March 13, and are Eastern Daylight Time for all games played on Sunday, March 14 and thereafter.
