2004/2005 NCAA College Hoops

I think that puts BC in at least a 3 seed.

Man, these conference tourney's could really blow the whole selection process wide open. I don't see Kansas winning their tourney. And I hope that Georgia Tech takes a loss in their very first game. That's a dangerous team in the tourney.

Illinois is going to have a tough time winning the Big 10 tourney too. It's been awhile since a team won the conference title outright AND won the conference tourney too.

Oregon State was up by as many as 21 points in the first half on UCLA. UCLA has now pulled to within 4 with 9:26 to go in the game.

I am watching that game now Mariner. Going to go down to the end.

[Mariner]

Oregon State pulled it out. Unfortunately, the Huskies have now choked up an 18 point lead and are tied with ASU with 5:16 left.

[mrdobolina]

The Huskies had to take it to overtime to beat ASU. Sounds like it was a good game.

There are a BUNCH of good games today. ACC mostly, but also some good matchups in the Big10. And Big12 too. (speaking of which....does Texas even get a bid after losing to lowly Colorado??)

Ok so...Wyoming lost. My expectations are always so high.

Any recommendations for a team to root for during the tourney? I'm thinking I'll stick with Gonzaga, my perpetual backup team. I know Montana will lose in the first round and I'll be back where I started.

[mrdobolina]

Illinois? You could always root for them! I'm biased though....

[G.G.]

I need an underdog who has the potential to go far...I'm into that underdog thing!

[Mariner]

I'll nominate Washington for consideration.

[G.G.]

I could maybe get on board with Washington. I should probably exhibit a bit of loyalty to the Mountain West Conference and root for Utah like I did during Bowl season. The MWC is badly in need of respect!
