TBayXXXVII 2,117 Posted February 7 19 hours ago, cmh6476 said: Yes Well Kansas being the #5 seed (even if they stay there), still won't have to play 5 rounds in the conference tournament. Back when UConn won the National Championship in 2011, they won the Big East Tournament by entering as the #9 seed and won 5 games in 5 days. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Big_East_men's_basketball_tournament They beat the #16 seed, then #8, #1, #4, & #3 on consecutive days. It's the only time in NCAA history that it's happened and it's unlikely to ever happen again. Hence why I said, "If your school can't win 5 games in 5 days to win a conference championship, then you don't have a real school." UConn will probably be the only one to ever do it. It's a joke. Fun Fact: UConn was the only team in that tournament to win more than 2 games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TBayXXXVII 2,117 Posted February 20 UConn goes for 15th consecutive win tonight, on the road, against #15 Creighton. Back in January, UConn won at home by 14. Beat 15 for 15? I think so. A UConn win would mark the first time in Big East history, where a team won 15 straight conference games. Only 2 other teams have accomplished the feat... the 1995-96 UConn Huskies and 1984-85 St. John's Redmen. On Saturday, UConn made history by beating #4 Marquette by 28 points. That margin of victory is the largest in conference play between two Top 5 AP teams since the inception of the AP Poll. UConn is 5-1 vs top 25 teams this year... all 5 wins were by double digits. Go team! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, Creighton was shooting lights out and UConn was shooting if the lights were out. lol That win should lock Creighton in to at worst a 3-seed in the tourney if they don't fock it up.

bostonlager 2,465 Posted February 25 Anyone interested in a quarter pool tournament draft? It’s a change of pace from a bracket pool and more fun in my opinion.

If they win in the 2nd you are owed $2.50 by all others We keep track on a google sheet and we settle up debts at the end of the tournament.

All you do is draft 8 teams in the tournament and check your score from time to time. The spreadsheet you're looking at is the final product after the tournament is over.
