[Tulane (3/14/24)]

Decent turnout for a Thursday just after work for most people.  Hopefully we get an even bigger NT crowd tomorrow given it's Friday night...and the opponent.

[Tulane (3/14/24)]

Considering Scott only played eight minutes and Edwards had an off night, this was a great victory.

[Florida Atlantic (3/15/24)]

Biggest game in the History of Western Civilization.

Noland has 19, but it feels like 25+

NT 62 ---------- Tulane 52

Terrific stretch on both ends of the floor.  Finally a double digit advantage.

[Tulane (3/14/24)]

NT 48 ---------- Tulane 43

 

11:33 to go

 

Our threes are really falling tonight and we still can't put them away.

[Tulane (3/14/24)]

NT 42 ---------- Tulane 38

 

15:41 to go

 

Can't get a comfortable margin yet.  Kinda nerve wracking, not gonna lie.

[Tulane (3/14/24)]

NT 36 ---------- Tulane 33

 

Halftime

 

After the first eight minutes, we settled things down pretty well.  One good half away from the quarters.

[Tulane (3/14/24)]

NT 33 ---------- Tulane 29

 

3:20 to go

 

Noland is having the game of the season.

[Tulane (3/14/24)]

NT 25 ---------- Tulane 20

Fantastic run.  Some big threes and our defense has been terrific.

[Tulane (3/14/24)]

Tulane 20 ---------- NT 14

 

11:08 to go

 

Green Wave shooting 67% so far.  Need to clamp down on defense.

[Tulane (3/14/24)]

Tulane 9 ---------- NT 5

 

15:56 to go

 

We're playing their style so far...much more of a full court game than we like.

Wichita State looking really good.

I see Wichita St/Memphis is delayed.  Anyone know why?

Because the ECU game only ended about ten minutes ago.  

[AAC Tourney]

ECU holds on in a hard fought contest.

[AAC Tourney]

Two evenly matched teams!

[Worst call of all time? Yes.]

It wasn't even close to being caught.  It was only first down, so there is no guarantee Texas wouldn't have ended up scoring anyway, but that play is one of the worst reffing mistakes I've ever seen.

[Wren hiring Boss Hodge?]

Is it?  WVU has had good success in both football and basketball in the not too distant past.

California blew an 18 point lead to lose in OT to Stanford.

I just noticed the score, but Wichita State and Rice seem to be involved in a real barn burner at the moment.

I feel like either the regular season is overrated or some teams wait for the tournament. 

#9 ECU vs. #10 Rice for the championship 

Some years chalk prevails and some years it's a free for all.

[Congrats to Johnny Jones]

He's started to own the SWAC Tournament the way he did the Sun Belt tournament.  Don't be surprised if Texas Southern is playing in the final again with a chance to get back to the NCAAs.

NCAA Tournament Projections: A Closer Look at the Bubble (msn.com)

The NCAA tourney really tries to avoid having schools from the same conference appear before the Regional Finals (Elite 8).  About the only time they can't is when a league gets in 9 teams teams like the old Big East did years ago.  I don't really think their bracket makes much sense as USF and FAU would be slated to meet in the Sweet 16.
