I just love this time of year.
Georgia, forced to play 2 games in one day - takes their total of 4 conference wins and 1 tournament win into the day and exits with not one, but two conference wins as a result of a game delay from yesterday. Nothing short of amazing. The last time this happened? Somewhere in the 1950's. A shame no one got to see it. They'll face Arkansas tomorrow with a real shot at making the NCAA tournament.
North Carolina Central, with a putrid record of 4-26, becomes the first 20-loss team to punch their ticket to the NCAA tournament - ever. Duke beat this team in their season opener, 121-56. But here they are, headed for The Dance.
Speaking of Duke, they were upset by Clemson today. There will not be a rematch of the big dogs in the ACC conference tournament this year. Instead Clemson will look to finish off it's nifty run with back-to-back upsets of Duke and North Carolina.
And...speaking of conference powerhouse foes - tomorrow at 2, Texas and Kansas will meet in the Big 12 conference tourney for the third straight year. The Longhorns look to make it 4 wins on the year over teams ranked in the top 5. The single game they played earlier this year, in mid-February, was decided by a lone 3 points - the difference possibly being Texas played in their home floor. KU is favored in this one, but it certainly seems Texas is playing much better ball right now.
