    Is that really the final score?

    yep, FSU made one of two FTs with 8+ seconds to go by three and Louisville missed a three and put in the rebound at the buzzer. FSU by one!

    I’ve never really been sold on Louisville. It seems to me that Asia Durr always has to score 30 in order for them to beat really good teams. I think that Mississippi State is the best team in the country especially with McCowan’s improvement.

    That’s shocking. 50-49? Durr was 5 for 21 (1 of 8 BTA).

    Great win for Florida State. And, it helps our SOS, too!

    Georgia won at home against Auburn. Good for us, as well.

    With Tennessee losing to the #3 team, doesn't affect them or us too much. But, it could help us pass them in rankings down the road even though they have the head to head over us.

    Looks like UConn and Miss. State are in great position to be the top two overall seeds come tourney time; all we can do is win our games and try to move up little by little.

    LSU at Texas A&M Monday evening at 6 PM on SECN. Good for us if LSU wins.

    Ohio State at Maryland on ESPN2 right now. OSU trails 50-35 at the half. Good for us if OSU loses to keep them behind us in the rankings.

    Maryland squashed OSU, 99-69.

    Unfortunately, LSU lost at A&M.

    Saw where Georgia beat #11 Mizzou a few days ago. Today, they beat Florida. Looks like UGa is really helping us.

    LSU upset Tennessee today; kind of a wash for us, but more benefit as it can only increase LSU's RPI without hurting Tennessee too much.

    FSU got drubbed by Notre Dame at home today. Definitely doesn't help us.

    Cheering for UConn tonight at South Carolina; need to stay ahead of USC in rankings/RPI.

    UConn up 24-16 with 1:00 min left in 1st qtr.

    Tennessee playing Aggy tonight. I assume we want Tenn to win for a myriad of reasons and...well... because it’s Aggy

    Tennessee up 4 at the half

    Either outcome benefits us. If Tennessee loses a few more, we can move ahead of them in the seedings/rankings.

    UConn up 53-24 at halftime.

    Committee's rankings about to be revealed.

    South Carolina down 29 at the half. Clearly Staley is a horrible coach

    I laughed when the TV announcers said this could be UConn's toughest road matchup based on the crowd. Guess they didn't realize that USC has only one player who is elite.

    I would assume a Tenn win helps our SOS

    But, with us at #9, Tennessee at #11, and A&M at #16 in today's reveal, a win by Tennessee tonight (coupled with their head-to-head win over us) could boost their RPI higher than ours.

    FSU has a very high RPI, from what I recall. Plus, one less loss than us.

    USC losing tonight to UConn could push them down below FSU and us.

    Good night for us overall with USC and FSU losing. Tennessee winning is still good for us overall.

    Right now, it will be very tough for us to pass the top 5 teams, even if were to win out. So, I am hoping we are either 6,7, or 10 when the actual bracket comes out. Have to stay away from the 8/9 seeds to avoid UConn's region.
