Dance nears, O5 report

AAC: Cincy and SMU should get in  w/o winning the AACT. Houston and UConn must win the AACT TO GO DANCING.
CUSA:  #mtsu has clinched the regular season title and should Dance regardless of how they do in the CUSAT. Two wins over the SEC teams, Vandy and Ole Miss, might help their resume
MACT winner will get the only Dance ticket Akron won the Eastand  Ball St and Western Michigan are tied atop the West.
MWC- Colorado St struggled to beat SDST last night and remain in a tie for first with Nevada. It appears the MWCT winner gets their only dance ticket.
SunBelt: UTA handled South Bama to keep a one game lead over  Georgia St and Georgia Southern . Tough to see the SunBelt getting more than one entry into the Dance.

feb 27

 UCF  has been improving under Coach Johnny Dawkins, but still stunned they beat #cincy

March 1

MWC: Big night for #prentissnixon  as #coloradost survived Wyoming and is a half game up on idle #nevada.. #boisest lost to #fresno.
MAC: #akron lost to cellar dweller Miami of Ohio but still has the East wrapped up. In the West #wmu and #ballst remain tied for first. #taylerpersons hit 6 3s, scored 29 in #BallSt win over Toledo  while #wmu beat #niu

March 2

AAC- If #uconn was on the bumble, they've fallen way off . #CWhite 
(28 PTS, 4 REB, 2 AST) led #ecu to a win over  the Huskies last night.

March 3

AAC : Cincy rocked third place Houston and #Smu cruised by Tulsa and the AAC may only get these two teams in the Dance. Cincy coach #Cronin spices up pre Dance talk "ticket sales, not wins or losses, are primarily behind how teams get seeded in the NCAA tournament."
CUSA: screw #lunardi , #mtsu should be dancing w/o winning the #cusat.
SunBelt: #uta is riding high but has to win the conference tourney to Dance

March 4

MAC : Ball St and   Western Michigan are tied for first in the West , but #Ballst had the tiebreaker to join #akron ,  #ohio , #buffalo with first round MACT byes.

March 5

CUSA- If the #herd  played some D it could have been a different season.They scored 61 in the second half of a 106-104 win over Northtexas. #louisianatech finished strong pounding USM. It's going to be difficult for the CUSA to get dance tickets when bracketologists are going nine deep with Big 10 teams.

SUNBELT
CCU , ULL , & Troy advance while ULM  behind  N. Coppola (15 PTS, 2 REB, 4 AST) upset ARK ST.
CUSA: UTSA, Rice, UAB, and Marshall advance. S. Browning  (22 PTS, 5 REB, 5 AST) of the #herd. M. Evans  (26 PTS, 3 REB, 4 AST) of Rice had big games.

March 10

MAC: Akrn cruised to victory, while Ballst, Kent St and Ohi won close ones.
MWC: Aztecs  on a dance missin upset Boise..Fresno, Coloradost and Nevada advance. Not sure if the MWC is getting a second team in the Dance.
CUSA: UTEP keeps up their late season solid play. #herd survive. #mtsu and #latech win easily.
AAC:Tulsa, UConn and ECU advance

March 11

AAC: UCF has had a solid late season run and crushed Memphis on its way  matchup against #SMU
M. Williams UCF(19 PTS, 2 REB, 1 AST) will need to duplicate this performance tonight. Olie's Huskies face Cincy. Can UCF r UConn steal a Dance ticket from a major conference?
CUSA: Special place for the #marshall #herd in the O5 Google+ community. J. Elmore (21 PTS, 1 REB, 4 AST) led the #herd in a huge win over La Tech. They'll face #mtsu, a winner over UTEP,  in the championship game tonight.#mtsu should be Dancing regardless of tonight's outcome.
MAC: GoldenFlashes  got a big night from J. Hall (22 PTS, 10 REB, 4 AST) in a narrow win over #ohio and face top dog Akron, a win over Ball St in the final,
MWC: M. Marshall 28 PTS, 2 REB, 5 AST led #Nevada's big second half run to defeat #fresnst and a matchup against #coloradost in the final tnght. Both teams deserve Dance tickets regardless of the outcome.
SunBelt: #uta, #troy ,and Georgia St advanced but the big surprise is how #texasst keeps moving forward. Nijal Pearson had 16 points, six rebounds, five assists and five steals in the Texas State win over Louisiana-Monroe. Errratic Bobcats may get their paws trimmed again one seed Texas-Arlington tonight.

March 12

AAC: Top two teams, SMU  and Cincy,  advance to the AACT final . The winner should be a four seed.
CUSA: #mtsu saved the committee frm a tough choice.#herd made a nice run in the middle of the second half but the Blue Raiders were resilient.
MAC: Congrats to #kentst , the sixth seed in the MACT, for an impressive tourney run that ended with a win ver their nearby neighbors Akron.
MWC: #nevada roared back from a terrible first half to win the MWCT. Tough loss for#coloradost who may land in the NIT. Not much committee love for the MWC.
Sunbelt: Wow, I told you TXST was erratic but I didn't expect them to defeat 1 seed #uta by twenty one points. And #troy knocked off Georgia St.

March 13
TXST was a little sloppy in the final five minutes and couldn't vertake #troy in the Sunbelt final. Is ST Mary's  (WCC) better than Louisiana Tech (CUSA) or Colorado St (MWC). I doubt it.
AAC-No respect for the AAC. #SMU get providence/usc winner. #cincy gets Wake/Kst winner
CUSA- Last year #mtsu knocked off Sparty in rd1. This year I think they 'll  knock off another B10 team -Minnesota
MAC- don't see #kentst getting by #UCLA
MWC- #nevada will shock #iowast
SUNBELT:#troy gets Duke- no upset here

March 17

I've been touting #mtsu all season and they held off a late Gophers to defeat #minnesota in rd1.Upshaw and Williams were stellar Blue Raiders late in the game.  What does it take for the Committee to give the #CUSA some respect and a second team at the Dance. I was wrong on Nevada who couldn't recover from a bad  first half in their rd1 loss to Iowa St.
Also, I was wrong on St Marys who won in rd1.

March 18

Awesome dunk by #chuckperson  of #troy but #duke was too much for them. Stunned by the #smu loss to #usc and props to #cincy for moving forward. #kentst lost to #UCLA

March 19

#mtsu put up a good fight but lost to #butler.  #cincy faces #ucla today

March 20

Cincy gone.#ucla  shot 63% from the field in the second half

June 18, 2017

I didn't cover #cmu often this season, but #marcuskeene, their high scoring (30 ppg) 5'9 guard may get drafted late in round 2

july 26, 2017

sometimes I don't what these kids are thinking. #patrickGood, a 6-foot guard for #appst averaged 7.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game and shot 41% from treyland is transferring and will have to sit a year if he goes to a 1A school

Props to Cincy update on O5

Kyle Washington scored a career-high 27 points, and Gary Clark had his fifth double-double of the season on Saturday as No. 14 Cincinnati  beat UConn 82-68 and went to 10-0 in the AAC. SMU 10-1 trails by a half game.

Akron seems safe in the East ,but the MAC West is wide open #weber was 7 for 11 from treyland in the #ballst win over #niu. MACT winner is likely getting the only dance ticket.
Ball St. 7-6
C. Michigan 6-7
N. Illinois 6-7
Toledo 6-7

E. Michigan 5-8

feb 18

 #DeonEdwin scored 21 points to help #KentState snap #Akron 's (top of the MAC East) 30-game home winning streak with a 70-67 win last night. #akron is still in good shape for a first round bye, then a home game for the MACT.

feb 21

#georgiasouthern has lost five it's last eight SuNbelt games- just call them UVA-lite. Last night

I'll be rooting for No. 15 Western Michigan , the undefeated guest from the MAC, to beat No. 8 Wisconsin, but can't see #wmu D withstanding the relentless Badgers rushing attack

Dec 28 review

Army was my only correct pick  yesterday.What happened to thne Wazzou O?

Dec 30 review

Totally wrong on the Gamecocks containing #quentinflowers , who earned MVP honors Thursday with 261 yards passing, 105 yards rushing and five total touchdowns in #USF (AAC) 46-39 win over #southcarolina.

Dec 31 review

If you bet opposite my picks lately, then you're doing well. #AFA  roared back from an early 21-3 deficit to defeat S.Bama 45-21.Maybe this stt says it all. #Worthman, the Air Force QB, completed only 7 of 10 passes but still passed for 207 yards.

Jan 3, 2017 review

#wmu battled the entire game but didn't have enough to overtake Wisky. Incredible effort by #coreydavis on his TD catch. Wis 24 WMU 16

Jan 8 update

I didn't foresee Minnesota as #Fleck 's next move. Can he recruit another WR like #coreydavis, who should be a late first round or early second round NFL draft pick.

random O5 hoop hunches

AAC: It's difficult to gauge Houston who wasn't upset in OOC play but were shaky in losses to Arkansas and LSU of the SEC.
CUSA-  #marshall nearly upset nearby  #cincy (AAC) last night and faces a tough #Pitt squad before they start conference play. BTW #rice only lost by ten to Pitt
MAC: Folks in tire country should feel upbeat about #Akron 's chances this season. The only ugly game was the lossto Gonzaga.Keep your eyes on #Isaiah Johnson,
MWC: If #marcusmarshall keeps sinking treys then #nevada will be worth tracking. #justinjames can score so watch out for #wyoming.
SunBelt: #UTA (Texas-Arlington) is probably still beaming about hooking the Horns a few weeks ago, and also beating North Texas (CUSA) two days later. As #hervey goes, the Mavs go.

Jan 2, 2017

AAC: Cincy pounded Tulane yesterday and Coach Dunleavy  might be wondering why he chose to try to tame the Green Wave in  Nawlins.
CUSA: #ReggieUpshaw  made four 3-pointers and finished with 34 points in a big early season conference #MTSU win over UAB .
MAC: #Akron and #cmu went 10-3 in non-conference play.
MWC: #lobos start of conference play beating #sdst
Sunbelt: #uta gave #coastalcarolina a rude welcome to conference play.  UTA 90 CC 69

Jan 6, 2017

MAC conference play started Tuesday, and Toledo cruised past Buffalo with #jonathanwilliams  scoring 20 plus for seventh straight game. I picked Miami (Ohio) to finish in MAC East basement , and they edged #niu  69-67 with #harouna hitting five treys.

Dec21-26 O5 bowl games

Dec. 21 Poinsettia BYU (8-4) vs. Wyoming (8-5)
Wyoming edges  BYU behind the rushing of Brian Hill, but BYU stays close behind RB JamaalWilliams.
Dec. 22 Famous Idaho Potato Idaho (8-4) vs. Colorado State (7-5)
Idaho is moving to the FBS in 2018 so this may be there last bowl appearance, but I'll take CSU by 10. Each team has a great defensive players , Aikeem Coleman(Idaho) , Kevis Davis (Col St)
Dec. 23 Bahamas Old Dominion (9-3) vs. Eastern Michigan (7-5)
I'll take EMU in the battle of explosive QBs, #Roback (EMU) , David Washington (ODU)
Dec. 23 Armed Forces Navy (9-3) vs. Louisiana Tech (8-5)
I'll take the LT  exciting receivers, Henderson & Taylor, over Navy QB Will Worth.
Dec. 23 Dollar General Ohio (8-5) vs. Troy (9-3)
#Basham, MAC D player of the year, will help Ohio contain Troy QB Silvers for a bowl win.
Dec. 24 Hawaii Middle Tennessee (8-4) vs. Hawaii (6-7)
Stocksill will lead the exciting MTSU offense to a 13 point win over Hawaii ,who haven't played well in  awhile.
Dec. 26 St. Pete Miami (Ohio) (6-6) vs. Mississippi State (5-7)
Ragland, the Miami O QB, is a rising star, will be slowed by a SEC test Bulldogs D, and Fitzgerald will toss two TD in a ten point #missst win

Dec 22 review

Williams (210 yards , 1TD) was a beast  for BYU , but the Cougars needed a last minute INT to preserve a 24-21 victory over Wyoming.

Dec 23 review

What can I say? Wrong on Idaho, wrong on the defenses controlling the game . Idaho 61 Colorado St 50.

Dec 24 review

one for three yesterday:got La Tech correct but was wrong on the MAC schools #emu, #ohio yesterday. I apologize for not noting that Worth of Navy was on crutches .

Dec 25 review

Wrong again: Stocksill was back under center for #mtsu and tossed four TDS, but so did Hawaii's QB Dru. Hawaii also got a great rushing game from Diocemy Saint Juste, 25 carries 170 yards , in its 52-35 win.

Dec 27 review

#missst survived 17-16 because they blocked an xp and a FG . #Ragland and #Fitgerald each threw two TDs.
