Special Night in Buffalo tonight when the Maple Leafs come to town. The Buffalo Sabres will retire Pat LaFontaine's No. 16 tonight, honoring one of the most gifted players in team and NHL history.

I'm Game, holmes.

stop hijacking this thread. college team or not: his location and velocity was ON.

Yes, this team is not very good, and they really haven't been all year -- for us SU fans it was usually just being the basic optimistic fan for most of the season, and making excuses for them and their resume' (SOS, BE Conference, etc.). I'm thoroughly disappointed in this teams performance. Lazy and undisciplined are two good words you used to describe them. I can't agree more. Usually, SU in the tourney is the one thing I really get jacked for until the NFL season starts again (usually because the Sabres aren't very good and won't be in the playoffs, but at least that's changed this year). But now, NIT here we come, baby!!! That's so sad to even write. (of course, I hold out the miracle BET win or beating Nova and making a deep BET run, but that's just the fan in me hoping - not reality). I'm confident things will get better over the next few years with some of these recruits coming in, but until then, this program has to do some serious re-evaluation. It will be two years in a row with no NCAA tourney wins!

I gotta say Memphis is no longer a #1. My #1 seeds: Duke Villanova Uconn ? (Gonzaga, GW, Memphis, Texas)

if wells isnt traded: pen if wells IS traded: papelbon to rotation, arroyo to pen.

Coco gets his 1st hit in his first Boston AB.

Come on. Someone be the first to bitch about the lineup. Then I'll know we're truly back to baseball season.

They just beat the #1 team in the country who has lost ONCE ALL YEAR....that RPI will go down substantially. according to jay bilas hes sees 22 bubble teams and 11 of them will make it to the field of 64, and FSU will be one of them.

Holy s***. What a night of College Basketball. It's definetely the best sport on earth.

Yep, their in.

just forget it...the games over. I love dukie v. complaining and blaming the crowd.

overrated *clap clap clap* dukie v. must be pissing himself.

It's Over... s***.

2 possesion game...76-72 FSU

Williams Fouls out...27 seconds left with 2 shots for FSU.

Duke and FSU in a awesome game, tied 65-65 with 5 minutes left.

:what:

Here is Jay Bilas's-"On The Bubble Guide" This is all you need (before more games are played) By Jay Bilas Special to ESPN Insider Ever heard of Nostradamus? Ha! A rank amateur! This is the official, fully authorized, bubble-approved, obsequious, smug and arrogant guide to figuring out the NCAA Tournament bubble picture. There is no further need for the selection committee to watch games, review records or have thoughtful discussion. All one needs to do is to read and comprehend this tome, and all will be crystal clear. Yes friends, read this, and you too will have all of the answers, just like us talking heads on TV! Warning: This Bubble Guide is for amusement only. If you are a player or coach, please do not cease playing or coaching to the best of your ability, for slacking off thinking you have it made or are cooked might alter the rock-solid perfect projections of this guide. Similarly, if you are a rabid fan, please do not change any flight or hotel arrangements based upon these projections, as perfect and on the mark as they might be. To have the global economy affected by this projection would be unfortunate. And, please, wagering based upon these projections is discouraged, as is shooting fish in a barrel. One-bid Conferences: 18 These 18 leagues will get one bid, and one bid only -- the automatic bid from the league championship. When you are thinking about all of the pressure that is on players and coaches during Championship Week, nobody (and I mean nobody) will have more pressure than participants in one-bid leagues. To have your season and dreams riding on one week of play, well, that is pressure. One-bids: America East, Atlantic Sun, Big Sky, Big South, Big West, Horizon, Ivy (regular-season champ), Metro Atlantic, Mid-American, Mid-Continent, MEAC, Mountain West, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Southern, Southland, SWAC, Sun Belt Where we stand: 18 bids gone, 47 remaining Bubble-busting conferences: 3 These three leagues can spoil the hopes of bubble teams all over the country. Players, coaches and fans of teams on or around the bubble should cheer for, pray for, and send all metaphysical good vibes to the favorites of the following leagues, because these three teams are locks. If the favorites win, these are one-bid leagues. If they lose, subtract the number of losers from the number of bubble spots available. • Atlantic 10: George Washington • Patriot: Bucknell • West Coast: Gonzaga Where we stand: 21 bids gone, 44 remaining Rock-solid, no argument, forget-about-it locks: 33 The following teams, grouped by conference for organizational purposes only, are revealed below. It would be just as fruitless to argue with this list as to get into a land war in Asia. • ACC (4): Duke, North Carolina, Boston College, NC State • Big 12 (3): Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma • Big East (6): UConn, Villanova, Pittsburgh, West Virginia, Marquette, Georgetown • Big Ten (6): Ohio State, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan State, Illinois, Michigan • Colonial (1): George Mason • Conference USA (1): Memphis • Missouri Valley (4): Wichita State, Northern Iowa, Missouri State, Creighton • Pac-10 (3): UCLA, Washington, Arizona • SEC (4): Tennessee, LSU, Florida, Alabama • WAC (1): Nevada Where We Stand: 18 One-bids + 33 locks + 3 bubble-busters = 54 bids gone, 11 remaining Bubble Teams: 22 In addition to the chance to grab an automatic bid that comes with winning a league tournament championship, the following teams still have a legitimate chance to grab one of the 11 remaining at-large spots in the 65-team field. These are the teams on the bubble, and here is what each team has to do to be in the field: They have to win. Out of this list of teams, the field will be set. Here is the way I rank them: • Cincinnati (The Bearcats have won enough and just cannot afford to fall apart) • Indiana (Enough quality wins to get in, and good enough to win once they're in) • Syracuse (Great schedule, good team, but needs to win a few going down the stretch) • Kentucky (Great schedule, good road record, not many Top 50 wins and needs more) • Creighton (Really solid team, especially defensively, and really good numbers) • Seton Hall (Some good wins, some blowout losses, and needs to win one or two more) • California (Weak schedule, but high up in league standings and a few quality wins) • Colorado (Not a great schedule, inconsistent but shows flashes, needs to do more) • Hofstra (Good team, not a sexy r?sum?, 16-2 against teams outside the Top 100) • Southern Illinois (Excellent defensively, not a scoring team, five Top 50 wins in MVC) • Bradley (Numbers are great, but seven wins against the bottom third of Division I) • Air Force (Some good wins, and a good team that needs to do more) • Miami (Some good wins, some disturbing losses, needs to do more) • Maryland (Bad record against Top 50 and road, and last 10 games are uninspiring) • Minnesota (Tough slate, some quality wins, needs to do more) • UAB (Weak schedule, 12 wins against the bottom third of Division I) • Houston: (Weak schedule, inconsistent results, with giant killing and cupcake losing) • Florida State (Has not beaten anybody of note) • Virginia (More bad losses than good wins) • Utah State (13-5 against teams ranked outside the RPI Top 100) • Old Dominion (Some good wins, but nothing to really impress) • San Diego State (Weak schedule, didn't beat anybody) • UNC Wilmington (Weak schedule, 15-1 against teams ranked outside of RPI Top 100) There you have it. I still think we should play the games anyway.
