BYU 3/3 9:00 ESPN2 (Senior Night)

[London 'Cat]

We'd officially clinch a top 7 seed in the Big 12 tournament with a win on Saturday. We're also still in play for the 6 seed depending on other results. Avoiding Arizona until the finals would be huge.

I still think UC needs to win the BigXII tournament to get in the NCAAs. But, if they win out to the finals of the conference tournament, they would have a solid chance for an at large bid. Winning at TCU would be huge because it guarantees a first round bye in the conference tournament. One game at a time.

enjoyable win -- I like the inside game which knocked out BYU desire. Tillery looked good. Now. The proof will be the tournament. Go Cats. -

If I was the BYU coach, the next practice would be extremely difficult for the players.

42 on KenPom ahead of a number of bubble teams (IU, SDSU, TCU, VCU, UCF, Seton Hall, VT, WVU)

ESPN: The Bearcats' late-season charge continued with a convincing Quadrant 1 win over BYU on Tuesday for their sixth win in seven games. They are still outside the top 50 in the national résumé average -- the rest of the bubble is generally around No. 45 -- so the consensus model sets their at-large chances in the mid-30% range. At this point, their case heavily relies on signature wins: Iowa State, Kansas and now BYU. But their recent hot streak sets up a big regular-season finale against fellow bubble team TCU.

Have to give credit to CWM and staff on the turnaround. I wasn't expecting this at all. They have been fun to watch lately. Given the fact the tournament committee typically favors late season, hot teams, a deep run (championship game) might do it.

UC moves from 49 to 45 in the NET -- also ahead of VCU, San Diego State, UCF, Seton Hall, Virginia Tech, WVU, Cal
