A full day of exciting college basketball kicks off at Noon EST

14Florida St @ Wake Forest at Noon on ESPN+, Wake is fresh off a heartbreaking defeat at Duke by 1. Can they recover and challenge FSU at home?

23Villanova travels to Seton Hall at Noon on FOX. Seton Hall has been feisty this season and Villanova seems inconsistent. Should be an interesting one.

5Tennessee plays at Auburn Noon ESPN. Auburn was the talk of the country earlier in the year. Their time has pretty much faded, but they could jump back in the conversation with a win tomorrow. The game is set as a pickem by Vegas.

8Texas Tech plays at Iowa St at 2pm EST on ESPN. I don't know if TT is for real.

Georgetown plays at 16Marquette at 2:30pm on FOX. Marquette seems to be in free fall lately. Can they right the ship?

One of this big ones for us fans: #11 Purdue @Northwestern at 2:30 PM on BTN. Purdue is favored by 6.5. They win and they share the Big 10 regular season crown. Lose and they do not and then the Michigan @ MSU game is for the outright title.

Louisville at 2 UVA at 4pm ESPN. Louisville was thought to be good for a while, but have slipped from the rankings.

4Duke plays at 3UNC at 6pm on ESPN. Will Zion play? I haven't heard. This one should be good. UNC might roll them if they don't have Zion.

Ja Morant’s Murray st team survives in conference semifinals. 29 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds. . Only issue he was 10-15 from the free throw line. #1 Belmont vs. #2 Murray st in the title game of the Ohio Valley Conference. Hit game winner. Probably need to win the OVC to get a bid to the ncaa.

The Lady Wolverines challenge the Lady Terps in the B1G Women’s Tournament semifinal @ 5 pm Eastern.

That’s the game I’ll be watching at that time, before Michigan plays MSU for the B1G regular season championship.

Bruce Pearl's unranked Auburn beats his old team (Tennessee) at home. That's their first loss to an unranked team all season. Would have more if they played a tougher schedule, instead of one of the softest of any Top 10 team except for Gonzaga.

Yes. I don't really think the SEC is that strong this year, which means UK and Tennessee aren't nearly as good as the media pundits try to make them look. I guess we'll find out come tournament time.

Purdue wins at Northwestern 70-57 and locks up a share of the big 10 regular season championship. Too bad.

#8 Texas Tech wins at Iowa St. Darn!

#6 UK beats Florida. Darn! I don't think Florida is that good this year.

Feisty Seton Hall beats #23 Villanova.

#14 FSU beats Wake.

As noted by MChamp, unranked Auburn beats #5 Tennessee 84-80

#16 Marquette in a dogfight with Gtown. Looks like it's going to come down to the wire.

 

[hungry]

Gtown beat Marquette

Louisville is in a dogfight with Virginia at the moment

# 2 Murray st vs #1 Belmont for Ohio Valley Tournament championship. Top 3 pick Ja Morant plays for the Racers. Winner makes big dance. Loser probably goes to the Nit.

 

[Michchamp]

Duke has fallen apart with 7:00 left in the 2nd half.

 

[Michchamp]

...which means there won't be any OT to delay our game!

 

[Michchamp]

UNC is a really dumb team. I don't think they've hit a shot since the 7:00
mark.

Duke's been shooting like shit too... but they got it down to 5

 

[tsume99]

Duke loses again, now time for the real game to begin.

 

[biggunsbob]

Murray st punches first ticket to ncaa dance . Beats Belmont 77-65. Morant takes over at halftime and down five they out score Belmont 51-34 in the second half. He scores 36

 

[biggunsbob]

I’d draft that kid in a heartbeat. Projected the number 3 nba pick.

He is the only reason they made the dance. Jansporting his team all the way. Not sure how that dude ended up at Murray St.

Life goes on

Today is a full day of Big 10 activity that will help complete the Big Ten Tournament bracket. Not much going on nationally.

Noon. Illinois plays at Penn St on FS1

Noon. Rutgers plays at IU on BTN

2pm, Iowa plays at Nebraska on BTN

4:30 pm, Wisconsin plays at OSU on CBS

It is delightful how miserable a season that OSU has had.

The only thing that could make OSU's season better is if they all got scabies.

PSU beats Illinois

and

IU beat Rutgers

Nebraska came back from something like 23 down and beat Iowa in OT

OSU came back from something like 23 down and tied the game, sending it to OT where UW won the game anyway

That concludes the Big 10 regular season and sets up the BTT bracket.
