Billikens with a very nice win at St Joseph's. If they keep winning they should end up with a nice seed, maybe as high as a 7.

North Carolina just completely blew that game against Duke.

I love it.

kenpom has the Billikens at 10, CBS rpi at 28, Sagarin at 16. If they take care of business they really could be looking at a pretty nice seed.

Having a high profile coach helps a lot, too. I don't think there's any chance they get screwed like Missouri State did for so many years.

Northwestern Wildcats creeping back into NCAA picture after taking Iowa to the woodshed for their 3rd straight B10 win. Now 5-6 in conf, and 15-8 overall. Their RPI of 37 says "tourney team", but we are talking about Northwestern here.

If they had just been able to eke out a win against Michigan (66-64 L) and Purdue (58-56) or IL at home (57-56), and they'd be 7-4 in conf and a virtual lock for the tourney.

They need to go at least .500 in the B10, which would get them 19 wins, to have a good shot at the tourney.

That is the point, padowan. They are trying to make their first tournament ever, and they face an uphill climbt to get there. Why is that so hard to understand?

Ack. Another [expletive] loss for the Wildcats.
