On the Eleventh Day of Conference Tourneys...

The Buffet gave to me..

Could it be? No....

Wait, could it be? No....

Wait. Wait. Wait. Could it be?

YES

It's Buffetology!

So... what's on the line today?

Duke, North Carolina, Texas all seem to be in play for a #1 ... although, Texas pretty much only has a shot (and may not have one at that) if Duke & North Carolina both fail to win their tournaments. Buffet's guess is that it is a Duke/UNC final and the winner gets it.

Who's left In the Waiting Line ...

Alabama is among the first four out, and that was with great hesitation ... they get Kentucky, win and they are in. Play them close, and that could do it too.

Dayton is also in this group, unfortunately for them, the resurgent St. Joseph's Hawks, while a great story, do not provide much opportunity for a resume building win. They cannot lose today, and then they either get themselves in with a win in the final or a good tough loss to Temple (Richmond might be too close to them on the S-curve for the Flyers to survive a loss to) could play favorable when teams just inside the Waiting Line: St. Mary's, Villanova, Penn St. if they keep putting up eye-sores like yesterday, are either not playing or not impressing. Someone ANYONE please explain to the Buffet why the Athletic Dep't at St. Mary's thinks a late-conference tourneys week against Weber St was worth a damn....

Enjoy your 12 Days of Conference Tourneys 2nd Saturday.
