Also Georgetown is on the ropes at UConn. It's tied in OT. A loss would hurt Georgetown's hold on a potential #1 seed. Come on Huskies! :-)

#1 seed = kryptonite or the kiss of death, this season.

Welll Hoyas won. They know how to win close games it seems. :-\

I wonder what that feels like?

I wonder what that feels like?

Maybe Gator fans will find out in the upcoming UK game. Here's hoping :-)

I don't. I hope it's a resounding blowout.

[CASontag]

I don't. I hope it's a resounding blowout.

Oh that would be nice too :-) Either way, a win at UK is fine by me however it is achieved.

Now THAT is a god-awful terrible loss for a team in the mix for a #1 seed. I would say that disqualifies them from a #1 seed....for now. They do, however, have home games left vs. MSU and Indiana. So they can work their way back to the top line if they win their last 3 games. I gotta say, I'm not normally excited about anything that takes place in that conference, but this years Big 10 tourney is gonna be absolutely fascinating. And it will go a long way in determining seeding for as many as 5 or 6 teams that could end up #4 seeds or better.

Playing conference road games against any team, even weak teams, is a high risk endeavor.

Wow....there just isn't a dominant team out there this year.

It's going to be a very interesting tournament.

It's going to be a very interesting tournament.

Indeed. Filling out my bracket this year will be really, really fun!!!

[madgator]

I'm really coming around on Gonzaga

I'm with you on them. Remember, there two losses was the fluke against Butler and against Illinois who hit around 15 threes that game.

Arizona lost at USC too.

Just saying UF isn't out of a 1 seed if we win out and teams above us continue to lose. This site has UF as the top 2 seed finishing 25-5 with a 65% chance of winning the SEC tournament.

If we win out including the SEC Tourney we are a 1 seed regardless of other teams.

I still have Michigan and Arizona as teams I think will make the Final Four along with the Gators. I realize they might be in the same bracket, but those are teams I think will make a deep run in the tourney.

This is a really bad loss though. They haven't been playing well lately.

Games like this just go to show even more clearly what we already knew - there isn't a dominant team this year.

I think this will make the tournament more fun actually.

Just today, Rick Pitino said that if a 16 is ever going to beat a 1, it will be this year. He added that a double digit seed may even win the tourney.

I didnt even bother following that game , i assumed they would win.

Yup...I can't recall a year where the field was this wide open. There are at least a dozen teams that have a legit title shot. Florida, of course, is one of those teams.

It's going to be a fun tournament! Bring on the MADNESS!!!

Mississippi State would beat Penn State. They are really that bad.
