Games of the Day (3/2)

This will be short today since I am on the road. Don't expect much till the weekend.

Wake Forest (25-4, 12-3) 98 - Georgia Tech (16-10, 7-8) 91
Wake Forest keeps rolling. Might be the best team in the ACC right now. With Georgia Tech playing NCState next at least one other team besides the big 3 will be at .500 in conference play. With the love the ACC got from the selection committee last year I have to think Georgia Tech is safe if they beat NC State.

Oklahoma St. (21-5, 11-4) 69 - Texas A&M (17-8, 7-8) 63
Oklahoma St. rebounds nicely like you would expect from a Championship caliber team. Texas A&M had a chance to sneak in for a bid with a win here, but it wasn't meant to be.

UConn (20-6, 12-3) 83 - Georgetown (16-10, 8-7) 64
UConn now one win away from sharing a conference title. Syracuse will try to stop them since they have a remote chance to share a Big East title with Boston College and UConn. Georgetown is reeling. 4 losses in a row. Do not give the committee a chance to exclude you at this point. I guarantee they don't want to send 8 teams from a single conference. Now they have a reason not to.

Iowa St. (16-10, 8-7) 67 - Missouri (14-15, 6-9) 49
Rumors are that Missouri already making plans for a press conference after the first day of the Big 12 tournament is completed. Wonder if it will have anything to do with looking for a new coach. Iowa St. gets needed win. I think they are in with another win, but that RPI of 78 is troubling (54 calculated the old way).

Minnesota (20-9, 10-6) 73 - Penn St. (14-14, 6-9)
20 wins, 10 in the Big 10 have to be enough. I have to disagree with the Bubble watch on ESPN. Minnesota has a dance ticket.

Iowa (18-10, 6-9) 74 - Ohio St. (18-11, 7-8)
First time Iowa has put back to back wins since December. This game has nothing to do with the tournament selection. I just wanted to point that out. Iowa reminds me a lot of the Miami Dolphins before Ricky Williams left. They start strong, but always manage to fall apart by the end of the season.
