Griffin: Big 12 titans Kansas and Texas clash The Big 12 title game might not influence the selection committee, but it could pay dividends for Texas and Kansas down the road, writes Tim Griffin. |
|
Glockner: Why use last 12 games? The NCAA selection committee admits that it will use the last 12 games a team has played in its evaluation when handing out an at-large bid. But is it a metric worth using? |
|
Whelliston: A-10 politicks for more bids The Atlantic-10 has been a rocky road all season, so why should the Atlantic 10 tourney be any different? With Saint Joe's win over Xavier, teams like Dayton, UMass, Temple and the Hawks themselves are still dreaming of the Dance, writes Kyle Whelliston. |
|
Schlabach: Donovan rips Baby Gators in loss Billy Donovan knew this season would be tough. But after Florida lost to Alabama in the SEC tourney, the coach ripped his young players for their lack of commitment, energy and excitement. And it doesn't look to be getting any better, writes Mark Schlabach. |
|
Katz: Sendek irate at last-second call Arizona State seemed to have tied a much-needed Pac-10 tourney game against USC. And then there was a controversial whistle that took away the game-tying basket, writes Andy Katz. |
|
Griffin: Baylor has an anxious wait ahead Baylor's history-making loss to Colorado in the Big 12 tournament is going to leave the Bears with some anxious moments until Selection Sunday, writes Tim Griffin. |

Dinich: Clemson ruins Carolina party Virginia Tech came close but couldn't stop Tyler Hansbrough and North Carolina. But Clemson knocked off Duke to crash the Tobacco Road party that is typically the ACC final, writes Heather Dinich. |
|
Schlabach: Will Georgia's run save Felton? Georgia suffered through a miserable four-win SEC season, failing to win back-to-back games for two months. Yet on Saturday, the Bulldogs won two games to put themselves on the doorstep of the NCAA tournament and perhaps save their coach's job, writes Mark Schlabach. |
|
O'Neil: Reynolds wants to be like Mike ... Nardi Villanova sophomore Scottie Reynolds isn't a natural, vocal leader. But if he keeps playing like he did against Syracuse -- 22 points, six assists and zero turnovers -- he'll be leading the Cats to the Dance, writes Dana O'Neil. |
|
Dinich: Xavier keeps fighting for respect Stanley Burrell bashed the Atlantic 10 for omitting a Musketeer from the all-conference first team. But if Xavier keeps on winning in the A-10 tourney, its game will do enough talking. |
|
Schlabach: Vols reverse luck in SEC tourney Tennessee has not had success in the SEC tournament, and this year's Vols looked to be upset again when Chris Lofton saved the day. That is what's special about this year's Vols, writes Mark Schlabach. |
|
O'Neil: A-10 teams jockey for NCAA bids The Atlantic 10 has had its share of ups and downs this season, but its teams are still hoping to receive multiple NCAA tournament bids, writes Dana O'Neil. |
