College Hoops Thread '09-'10

Lemme do this quick and dirty, as I'm already late and there's a $#!+load to do.

NCAA play-in:

AR Pine Bluff 61 - Winthrop 44 = So now we're down to 64 officially.

NIT first round:

Jacksonville 67 - Arizona State 66 = So maybe I had too much respect for the Sun Devils.
U. Conn 59 - Northeastern 57 = And too little for Northeastern, as this was close.
N.C. State 58 - South Florida 57 = But not as close as this one.
Miss. State 81 - Jackson State 67 = No shock here.
UNC 80 - Wm.&Mary 72 = And the only shock here is that Carolina made the plays late it failed to do all year.
Texas Tech 87 - Seton Hall 69 = If reports are right, this loss had NOTHING to do with Bobby Gonzalez getting fired 12 hours later.
UAB 65 - Coastal Carolina 49 = Another bubble team snubbed makes its case.

Tonight in the NIT:

Kent State vs. Tulsa = I'd go with Tulsa here.
Virginia Tech vs. Quinnipiac = The Hokies will own them.
Dayton vs. Illinois State = Don't know, don't care.
Cincy vs. Weber State = If the Bearcats show up, it's theirs.
Rhode Island vs. Northwestern = I'm picking RI.
Mississippi vs. Troy = And Ole Miss.
Wichita State vs. Nevada = Pick 'em.
Illinois vs. Stony Brook = Illini, easily.
Memphis vs. St. John's = Will Norm Roberts get the ax too after this loss?

Last night in the CBI:

VCU 79 - George Washington 73 = Was probably a good game. Did anybody see it? Didn't think so.
Saint Louis 63 - Indiana State 54 = Rick Majerus managed to avoid looking further the @$$ . . . and if you know Rick, that's quite the @$$ he has.

Tonight's CBI games:

Princeton vs. Duquesne = The Tigers roar.
Akron vs. Wisc. G.B. = Zips.
Eastern Ky. vs. Charleston = Another "don't know, don't care."
Hofstra vs. IUPUI = Ditto.
Morehead St. vs. Colo. St. = Double dit.
Oregon St. vs. Boston U. = Triple that.

In the CIT:

Creighton 89 - South Dakota 78 = Congrats, I guess.
Fairfield 101 - George Mason 96 (OT) = No slipper for Geo.Mason this year. But at least it seems both teams cared enough to fight for it.
Marshall 90 - Western Carolina 88 = And this must have been fun too.

CIT tonight:

App. State vs. Harvard = No thoughts, save that Haa'vad was touted early as an NCAA team, but now are in this joke tourney.
Missouri St. vs. Middle Tenn. State = They play basketball?
Northern Colorado vs. Portland = And remember 'way back when Portland was ranked in the Top 25? I do, and I wonder if they do too.
Loyola Marymount vs. Pacific = What do they both really care? Surf's up!

As I won't be here until later in the afternoon tomorrow, I'll also give you the early 1st round games in the NCAAs now:

Villanova vs. Robert Morris = You really have to ask here?
BYU vs. Florida = The money seems to be BYU, but I'm going Gators.
Vanderbilt vs. Murray State = And some say Murray St.'s tricky offense will win this. Against some teams, maybe, but Pearl's too smart to be fooled.
Kansas State vs. North Texas = Somebody on here . . . Travis, was it? . . . thought heart would favor NT. I wonder how he felt when he saw their pairing!
Notre Dame vs. ODU = Should be a good one. I'd pick ODU as more consistent.
Richmond vs. St. Mary's = And I always go with the Spiders in such games. Those arachnids are tough!
Baylor vs. Sam Houston State = The team from Texas takes this one, I'd betcha.

Butler vs. UTEP = And I'd lean towards the same outcome here too.

As always, enjoy.
