We love Seth Greenberg, and we understand he was emotional after his loss at UNC, but the top 65 teams don't get to the NCAA tourney. At-large bids are given to 34 teams, and it's usually the top 45-50 teams that get in the NCAA tourney. The remaining slots are filled by automatic bids from smaller conferences that would never ever earn an at-large bid. But we understand what he felt, almost winning in North Carolina, and I'm sure he must feel that a couple of calls went against Virginia Tech towards the end of the game.
Meanwhile, Boise State is beating New Mexico State with 15 minutes left in the second half, not that it matters bubble-wise, or seeding-wise even :)
Keep in mind, the SEC conference championship will be played on Sunday March 16, at 330pm eastern (1230pm pacific) on ESPN2. The game will also be shown on the local CBS affiliate in the cities/states of the two participating teams.
We are behind on our TV listings, we just added the TV listings for Sunday March 16, 2008.
THANK YOU CLEMSON TIGERS
It's always a special day when Duke loses. I am organizing a parade in their honor on Monday. And I'll ask everyone to wear green, to celebrate the freshness of their victory! Check your local events calendar, there may be a parade like that in your city :)
THANK YOU CLEMSON TIGERS! I knew you could do it Oliver Purnell! Go Tigers Go! Go Clemson Go!!!
You can celebrate this victory with some Clemson gear too if you like:
