Beyond embarrassing.

How can a team full of this much raw talent be such mental midgets? So mentally challenged? This team shouldn't 30 pts worse than the Lakers.

Roy was saying he was trying to call a play for one of the kids who hasn't scored this year (last minutes of play) and they couldn't even do that right.

I saw some bickering too from Drew (my goodness he has no confidence in his shot, he doesn't even look for it)...most of the UNCBI team.

PITT BE #2!!!!

Pretty sure nobody cares but

Winthrop joins Cornell as the second team officially in the NCAA Tourney. They defeated Costal Carolina in the Big South Title game

Atlantic Sun title game between Mercer and East Tennessee is in a little

You know what's funny about that?

Winthrop was basically the Big South bitch last year. Dead last. I think VMI beat them by a combined 45 points after 2 games last year. In fact , the top 3 teams last year, aren't even the top 3 teams this year in the big south. Last year was Radford, VMI, Liberty in that order.

lolwut.

Even the Nets would destroy any college basketball team by 20 or 30. There's no way you compare a college player to NBA. Hell, NBA centers can drain the college 3 and most are 7ft+

No college squad can ever match up to an NBA squad.

Looking forward to the MVC Final today. Northern Iowa v Wichita St

Northern Iowa is a 2-4pt favorite but I could easily see the Shockers winning

does Duke get a #1 seed? ACC Championship Duke only has to worry about gt/md/ncst

Fuck Duke, they should be a #2 seed at most. I'd rather have an Ohio State 7 loss team be a #1 seed than Duke

Long Island @ Quinnipiac (2:00 PM) and Mount St. Mary's @ Robert Morris (7:00 PM) today in the NEC semi-final match-ups.

Doesn't this seem familiar?

Robert Morris (21-11, 15-3) faces Mount St. Mary's (16-14, 12-6) on Sunday for the chance to play for the NEC's automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament. The Colonials defeated Central Connecticut State 71-63 behind 16 points from freshman Karon Abraham while the Mountaineers got 13 points and nine rebounds from Kelly Beidler in their 65-50 win over St. Francis (PA).

These two squads know each other far too well. Sunday will be the third time they've played this season and it will also mark the third time in a row they've matched up in the NEC Tournament.

In 2008, the Colonials came into the semi-finals of the NEC Tournament as the conference's number one seed. However, the fourth seeded Mountaineers rode a 54% shooting performance from the field (including 50% from behind the arc) as they obliterated Robert Morris, 83-65.

But there would be revenge...

In 2009, the same two teams met up against at the Charles L. Sewall Center; this time for the NEC's automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament. With just seconds remaining, NEC Player of the Year Jeremy Chappell lost the handle trying to dribble in between two Mountaineer defenders and it was a loose ball. However, Dallas Green picked it up and hurried a shot, which calmly fell through the basket, giving the Colonials their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1992.

In a game full of smack talk and technicals, Robert Morris got the best of Mount St. Mary's in their first match-up, 63-57. Senior Jimmy Langhurst led the Colonials with 11 points, but just a few weeks later the guard blew out his knee and his collegiate career was finished. The Mountaineers never held a lead the entire game, though it was close throughout the contest.

Then in a game played just last Saturday, the Mountaineers got a lay-up from junior Shawn Atupem to give Mount St. Mary's a 63-61 win over the defending NEC champions. Although the Colonials shot a much higher percentage than the Mountaineers (49% to 32%), the home team shot 35 foul shots to the visitor's 22, which made the difference.

Atupem and the Mountaineers come in on an 11-game winning streak while the Colonials have lost two of their last four. The stage is set for another great game and the victor should have all the momentum going into the NEC title bout against Quinnipiac or Long Island.

Should be a great one. Go Colonials!

Louisville were favorites according to most gambling sites [and the one I use]. BE home court advantage, last game at Freedom hall, beat Cuse last time they played and Cuse had the #1 locked up for the BE Tourney.

EDIT: ISU defeat KSU at KSU as I type this

Haha. So obviously SOMEONE knew. It just happened to be folk that actually follow college basketball, as opposed to me, who just occasionally sees a UNLV game and watches SportsCenter. Haha.

I want Duke to get a #1 seed.... and then have OSU be the #2 seed in their region.

[Dez]

James Anderson is the Big 12 Player of the year...just got announced today. Yessssssssss.

Gibbs BE 2nd Teamer.

How Wanamaker doesn't get voted onto an All-BE team averaging 12 points, 5 assists, 6 rebounds, and a steal a game is a bit questionable.
