Big East Champs!!
Huggiebear delivers.
BTW- Set your clocks forward. Obama is such a socialist he is taking away one of your hours.

James O’Keefe plays basketball??
(What? Too soon?)
Comrade Luke - March 13, 2010 | 11:28 pm · Link
I don’t know how the hell that guy made the last shot.
And btw, that last bucket by Georgetown was a travel. He took 4-5 steps.
The latest Bracketology has GT as a 2 seed, which if true is a joke imo. They’re good, but from #22 in the nation to a 2 seed?
madmommy - March 13, 2010 | 11:28 pm · Link
What a game!
So, where will the Mountaineers end up seeded?
gopher2b - March 13, 2010 | 11:31 pm · Link
I’m sad.
gopher2b - March 13, 2010 | 11:32 pm · Link
@madmommy:
Me thinks WV earned themselves a #1 seed. GT should be a #3.
Comrade Luke - March 13, 2010 | 11:32 pm · Link
@madmommy: Probably a two seed, but there’s an outside chance at a one.
Comrade Luke - March 13, 2010 | 11:33 pm · Link
@gopher2b: The questions for me are will Kansas win, will Duke win, and what are they going to do about Syracuse.
John Cole - March 13, 2010 | 11:37 pm · Link
The officiating was HORRIBLE, btw. Felt like there were three teams on the court.
Kryptik - March 13, 2010 | 11:40 pm · Link
Georgetown deserves the #2 from how they played all tournament, no doubt. 22 in the polls, I don’t care, they made their case.
As far as WVU, I doubt they’ll get the #1 over Duke at this point…but they should easily be considered and might just miss that cut.
madmommy - March 13, 2010 | 11:41 pm · Link
@gopher2b:
I’m thinking more like a #2, which is pretty damn good. I don’t think in the top 1-5 the seedings matter so much. You’re going to get a team that you should beat without too much effort in the first round, guaranteed.
Comrade Kevin - March 13, 2010 | 11:42 pm · Link
Congratulations to the Mountaineers.
From my conference, I really hope St. Mary’s, who I normally hate, get selected for an at-large bid.
The Dangerman - March 13, 2010 | 11:45 pm · Link
Have to be a 1 through 4 to won the Pod (location). They’ll get that pod ownership.
1’s are set: Syracuse, Duke, Kansas, Kentucky. Locks.
Comrade Luke - March 13, 2010 | 11:48 pm · Link
@Kryptik: They finished 7th in the Big East yet they get a 2?
madmommy - March 13, 2010 | 11:51 pm · Link
@The Dangerman:
I’m wondering if they’ll re-think Syracuse. Losing in the semi’s of the conference tourney ain’t good.
Comrade Luke - March 13, 2010 | 11:52 pm · Link
An 11-part series on Life on Discovery? Sounds like an attempt to sell DVDs.
And it’s narrated by Oprah.

Clutch414 - March 13, 2010 | 11:52 pm · Link
Congrats Cole and Mountaineer fans.
I was rooting for the ‘eers because I hate Georgetown (born, raised, and still live in the ‘Cuse). WVU just earned themselves a solid #2 seed. Can’t wait until the selection show tomorrow. Hopefully ‘Cuse retains their #1 seed and plays in the Buffalo pod.
J. Michael Neal - March 14, 2010 | 12:02 am · Link
The Gophers won 4-2, to force a third game tomorrow night. There’s no way we make it to the NCAAs if we don’t win the conference tournament, so our next loss is our last. There’s not a chance in hell we make it, but I really want to beat the Fucking Sioux tomorrow.
I didn’t even realize that West Virginia and Georgetown had varsity hockey teams. Congratulations to the Mountaineers. I think you’re going to draw Bemidji State in the first round.

@Comrade Mike: They’re 7 in the RPI with the #1 SOS. OOC wins over Butler, Duke, Washington, and Temple. Either they’re a weak 2 or a strong 3.
@Comrade Kevin: Didn’t St. Mary’s win the WCC tournament?
Go Hoyas!

@madmommy:
True, but the rest of season is too solid.
And I hate Syracuse and I’m still calling lock.
themann1086 - March 14, 2010 | 12:31 am · Link
@madmommy: Actually they lost in the Quarterfinals. This of course is central to your point ;)
And grats Cole, both for last night’s win over my Irish and the Conference championship. They earned it.
FiveInchTaint - March 14, 2010 | 12:37 am · Link
The only way Kansas loses is if they beat themselves. Provided they come to play in the tournament, might as well pencil in the Jayhawks as national champs.

Oh and I freely confess to slacking on making the cookies this weekend, but as I was productive otherwise for the most part, I’m not feeling hugely guilty about it. At least not yet.

Hasn’t Syracuse lost their last two games? Not a great way to go into the tournament.
J. Michael Neal - March 14, 2010 | 1:34 am · Link
@Yutsano: Around here, when she says the DQs aren’t open yet, she means that they’re closed for the winter. gbear disagrees, but I know that at least some of them still are.

Bob Huggins builds winning basketball programs. Of course, it’s likely no WVU men’s basketball player will ever graduate until Huggins leaves, but that only bothers namby-pamby types who think that “student-athlete” still means anything.
As for the Gophers, I have no idea where today’s game came from. 27 points better than Purdue? If that doesn’t get ‘em into the tournament, nothing will.
And as stated above, it’s all irrelevant; my sister’s alma mater, Kansas, is going to win the whole thing.

Still, at the end of the day it’s merely a big 10 title. It’s not like it means anything.

@Michael #52: Well, I have only contempt for both Thomases—Clarence for his judicial opinions and Virginia for her political views—but honestly, I don’t have a problem with her occupying her time in setting up Tea Parties if she wants to. Now if a TP-related case came before the Supremes, and Thomas failed to recuse himself, that I’d have a problem with.

Yes John as an ACC (Clemson) fan who didn’t have a horse in the race, I very much agree with you about the officiating

The only good team in the Pac-10 this year is the Stanford women. The Pac-10 may get two teams into the men’s tournament by virtue of Cal’s strength of schedule (although the Bears lost most of the games that give them that high SOS). But San Diego State’s win over UNLV means the Mountain West probably gets FOUR.
Nice win for WVU, but if we win the ACC Tournament we get the fourth number one seed – and most likely get the Salt Lake City regional and a relatively easy route to the Final Four. And all you Dook haters can just suck on it.
Waiting to hear the woofing from DougJ when Upstate New York’s three teams in the tournament (Cuse, Cornell, and Siena) all win their first-round games.
And speaking of bad calls, the highlight of the day – that ridiculous dunk by the Vermont guy – should have been an offensive foul. He cleared out with his off arm.
