Conference tournaments to determine who gets into "The Big Dance" are underway all across the country .... Maureen's South Dakota State Jackrabbits are already in .... today is the second day of the ACC tournament, biggest surprise to me has been NC State's first round victory .... today is the second round so we'll be watching all day

It’s been a real frustrating season for me and my Gonzaga Bulldogs. They have had a tough season including dropping out of the top 25 for the first time in many years. I believe 170+ straight weeks (basketball season weeks) in the top 25. They finished second in the conference and just last Tuesday got beat in the conference tournament championship game. So instead of being a possible five seed and playing the first two games here in Spokane they will probably be an eight or nine and get shipped off to timbuckto somewhere.

We fans have been spoiled for too long and don’t know how to deal with diversity. :roll:

There’s a bunch of Duke haters on the Gonzaga forum and man did they light up the forum when Duke lost.

Good news is the Washington State Cougars men’s basketball team won their quarter final against Stanford yesterday. The Cougs haven’t had a meaningful basketball team since 2008. They took second in the conference including earlier this year beating number 5 ranked Arizona who are the conference champs.

NC State continues its record setting path tonight .... they are the first team in ACC Tournament history to play 5 games in 5 days .... tonight they against the UNC Tarheels for the conference championship .... they sure didn't look fatigued in last night's game but its hard to see how they can have yet another maximum effort
