Just saw a Georgetown player blow a dunk becaue he was too far under the basket. He jumped up and it hit off the bottom of the iron.

Also Georgetown whittled a 21-point Providence lead to 10 in about 3 minutes, but it's back up to 17 in no time flat because the Hoyas are awful. I don't see Providence making much noise in a tournament, either.

e: Last 10 minutes were complete garbage time for both teams.

I think the correct defense here is to send all 5 players at her and go to overtime if someone else can make a layup.

The problem with that is that Czanino is one of the best post shooters in the nation, she’s making that layup every time.

ok conference tournament capsules till i get bored or forget

the only one starting tomorrow is the Atlantic Sun, which has a very weird format: out of 14 teams, the bottom 4 are just poo poo out of luck, then teams 7 through 10 are in play-in games Monday night to see who plays teams 1 and 2 the next night. meanwhile, teams 3 through 6 play to see who will round out the semifinals. ahead of those semifinals, the bracket gets reseeded according to who's left. hilariously, even though Liberty is by far the best team by metrics they lose the tiebreaker to Kennesaw State, who will host the semis and final so long as they get through. needless to say it would be very funny for Liberty not to make the NCAAs and they've already lost at Kennesaw once this year. beyond that, the biggest threat is whoever wins the Stetson-Lipscomb quarterfinal.

Tuesday night starts the Horizon, Patriot, and Sun Belt tourneys.

the Horizon has gone from being a pretty-reliable early-round threat producer to 15/16 fodder. Youngstown State is the 1 seed, the best overall team, and the only one likely to cause any problems for a 1 or 2 seed. there's low-seed prelims Tuesday, then one random 4v5 prelim on Thursday because 11 is an unworkable number of teams for single-elimination. the rest will be in Indianapolis a week later. if you have a chance to watch Detroit Mercy's Antoine Davis don't miss it, he is a one-man show and is now 64 points away from breaking Pete Maravich's all-time D1 points record (in quite a few more games, but still that was considered a fairly untouchable record).

the Patriot is doing their usual thing of having one or two decent teams and a whole lot of bad ones, and once again this year Colgate is the best one; would figure Matt Langel would take a bigger post one of these years but for now he seems content just winning this conference and losing as a 14 seed every year. the highest seed hosts each game, which also helps Colgate. the only real threat to them or any other team in the postseason is Navy.

the Sun Belt doesn't have one dominant team but it does have a lot of pretty decent ones and unlike the weak-rear end A-Sun all 14 teams have a shot, so it could end up being one of the best conference tourneys this year. (on the other hand, all games are in Pensacola, one of the worst places in this country to spend any time.) it's pretty much a wash between the top 4 seeds: Southern Miss (who would get the NIT autobid), Marshall, Louisiana, and James Madison. beyond them, Troy, South Alabama, and Old Dominion are all capable of going on a run. the most fun games should be the ones involving Marshall, they are very high-tempo and have the lowest time per possession in the country this year.

will do the next batch (March 1 starts) tomorrow or Tuesday, memory allowing

Kayak is true
The streak ended with a buzzer beater-ish loss to TCU at home. Just couldn't get it done.

Now have to beat Kansas in Lawrence to have a good shot -or- at least beat OSU at home AND go on a tear in the conference tournament. Have to win at least 2, if not 3 in the tournament.

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

Iowa state is in total free fall. If they hadn’t been so good at the beginning of the season, they’d be playing their way out of the tournament right now. They’ve gone from a 3 seed down to probably an 8 seed. They just suck right now.

Antoine Davis put up 38 for Detroit Mercy tonight in their win over Purdue Fort Wayne so he'll go for Maravich's all-time points record Thursday against Cleveland State, needing 28 points (around his season average) to take it.

edit: i cannot add or subtract small numbers correctly, he only needs 26

Has UDM been good this year at all or is it just him lighting it up on a crappy team?

he uses 34.8% of his team's possessions. no one else in D1 is even at 33%. he is the team.

edit: should note that percentage is not like a recordbreaking stat or anything, it's just he's also very efficient, hits 40%+ of his 3s, gets to the line and hits 90% there; fairly remarkable since every single team they play has no choice but to key on him the entire time.

Every single year the Ivy League takes a break from fucking up the world through its various alumni to fuck up everyone's bracket instead.
Wednesday starts: Big South, Northeast, Ohio Valley

the Big South usually provides interesting cannon fodder, and will again this year if UNC-Asheville makes it through; they have a legit interior threat and they can get very hot from outside. they torched the conference despite not being all that much better efficiency-wise than runner-up teams Radford or Longwood, so quite possible that regression catches up with them. the whole tournament is in the Bojangles Arena in Charlotte, which is the best place to eat Bojangles.

the Northeast hasn't ever been good but this year they are rancid, comfortably the worst conference in the country with every team sub-300 Kenpom, and they have the worst team in the country in LIU. The conference is really missing Bryant and Mount St. Mary's, not even because either is all that good, but at least better than any of these. All games are at the higher seed. It really doesn't matter who wins, they're all interchangeable, but I guess at least if Sacred Heart or St. Francis Brooklyn won it then that'd mark a first appearance before the play-in loss.

the Ohio Valley is also not good, in the wake of losing Murray State, Belmont, and Austin Peay this past offseason, plus Eastern Kentucky and Jacksonville State the year before that. That's all the OVC champions going back two decades, apart from Morehead State, who comes in as a slight favorite to win a 16 seed. All games are in Evansville, which I think really has to make you feel how low on the pecking list you are.

Thursday: Missouri Valley, West Coast

this is more like it. the Missouri Valley wasn't great this year after losing Loyola Chicago (now busy getting crushed in the A10) but it was very competitive and it's perennially one of the conference tournament highlight. Bradley won the regular season title for the first time since 1996 but numerically are pretty much a wash with Drake and Southern Illinois, with Southern Illinois and new transplant Belmont not far behind. Have the feeling Bradley or Drake would be a pretty dangerous 12/13, but also that one of the lesser teams might wreck the whole bracket here. Arch Madness will be held, of course, in St. Louis.

the West Coast is obviously Gonzaga's plaything for a little longer, with St. Mary's trying to prevent them from winning their 10th title in 11 tries. Nobody other has won the WCC since San Diego in 2008, especially since the WCC went to a ladder format so that those top two get automatic berths into the semifinals. However, if someone else could manage to (Santa Clara? Loyola Marymount? hard to see BYU winning the 4 games it would require) then they'd be one of the very few true bid stealers this year. All the games will be in Vegas.
