      Looking for a game to watch today? Check out Seton Hall/Notre Dame at 7 PM ET on ESPN. Seton Hall desperately needs a win and Notre Dame could potentially lose their bid with a loss.

      Joe Lunardi’s bubble teams (3/8)

      March 8, 2010 /

      Per his Bracketology page on ESPN…

      Last Four In

      * Memphis
      * Arizona State
      * San Diego State
      * Illinois

      First Four Out

      * Washington
      * Seton Hall
      * Rhode Island
      * Ole Miss

      Next Four Out

      * Dayton
      * UAB
      * Mississippi State
      * Minnesota

      Presumably, Lunardi is factoring in Illinois’ loss to Wisconsin on Sunday. The two teams play again on Friday in the #4/#5 game of the Big Ten Tournament, so if the Illini lose again, it will be interesting to see if they still get a tourney nod. I think they’ll need a win against the Badgers to stay alive.

      #1 Syracuse falls to Louisville

      March 6, 2010 /

      With Jerry Smith sidelined, reserve Kyle Kuric got some extra run, and closed Freedom Hall in style. The sophomore scored a career-high 22 points (all in the second half), hitting 9-11 from the field and 4-6 from long range, as the Cardinals beat Syracuse for the sixth straight time, 78-68, in the final game at historic Freedom Hall.

      Kuric’s performance was electrifying. Louisivlle was trailing 42-39 with 14:19 to play when Kuric scored his first bucket on a fast break dunk. By the time he scored his 22nd point, Louisville led 77-64 with under a minute to play. During that run, he made four straight threes and several alley-oop dunks.

      Louisville won’t have to worry about getting a bid to the NCAA tournament now. They’re 11-7 in conference and 20-11 overall, but two wins against Syracuse will surely earn the Cardinals a bid.

      Is Evan Turner nipping at John Wall’s heels?

      March 5, 2010 /

      This is a pretty good highlight video that tells the story of Evan Turner’s 2009-10 season, which began with a broken back.

      Most pundits believe John Wall will be the #1 overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, but Evan Turner is coming on. He is averaging 20-9-6 and is shooting almost 54% from the field. His range is questionable (29% from 3PT), but he’s a force when he goes to the basket. DraftExpress compares him to Brandon Roy, but with the limited range, he reminds me of a taller Dwyane Wade. Turner is 6’7″ while Wade is 6’4″.
