Speaking of the Terps, I'm starting to get concerned about their prospects.
I was so confident last night following the Wake game. The SEC title game tomorrow could ultimately be Maryland's undoing.

Yesterday, I said that Akron would kill Buffalo to continue the recent string of HD's teams beating my teams.
Well, Akron gored them Bulls.

Name a team that has 3 wins over top 10 teams that should go in Maryland's place.
They ought to. The teams they should be terrified are mid majors like Creighton and St. Mary's that have beaten exactly no one this year or even a Wisconsin who could be the weakest link from the Big Ten.
Apparantly St. Mary's beat San Diego St back in Dec so I can see how that helps them here, but San Diego St has the best RPI of the 3 and has played well lately. Creighton would be the odd man out if were up to me.
Louisville beats a very gallant, but ultimately too tired Syracuse team.
When you consider how tough the Big East has been this year, this has to be one of the most satisfying tournament wins of Rick Pitino's career.
He won five SEC Tournaments at Kentucky, but the Big East was a tougher conference than the SEC was in the 1990s.

I agree with this. I watched the Blue Jays horrific performance in the MVC last week, and I don't understand why they're still in the discussion.
If you saw their close win over Wichita State, you can see why they were gassed out for the next game.
That should wrap up a 1 seed for Louisville. What a turn around from the team that lost 3 times in Nov and Dec and fell out of the top 25.
As much as I hate to say it, and I do, but dook has a legit shot a 1 seed. If they win tomorrow I think they get it and UConn, even with a 6 OT loss, drops to a 2 seed. If this happens then the selection committee should put UConn in dook's region and let them have it out, preferably in Boston.
That's a legitimate point about Duke. The talk all day has been Louisville/UConn/MichiganSt/Memphis for the last two #1's. But IF Duke wins the ACCT, they make a legitimate case for the final #1.
That would make Alabama St and Chattanooga the leading candidates for the play in game.
Utah St. up by 13 over Nevada in the WAC final.
This is important for the bubble teams, because Utah St. has an RPI in the 20's and has the second most wins in the country with 29. I DOUBT they get in without winning this game, but you never know.
That being said, it looks like Mississippi St. in the SEC title game is the only fly in the ointment left for the "last in" bubble teams.

And the winner of that is most likely to play Louisville next Friday, because the winner of the PiG always goes to a Friday site. UNC, of course, will open up Thursday in Greensboro.
