Not trying to steal Nuts' thunder here, just helping out.
And this is why. We've got a couple of real good matchups going on here in the last week of the regular season.
#3 Baylor vs #6 West Virginia 2:00 PM Pacific Time
#4 Illinois vs #2 Michigan 4:00 PM Pacific Time
#15 Texas vs Iowa State 4:00 PM Pacific Time
I'm looking forward to these? Who you got? Is there another game of interest I'm missing?

For old dudes like me, Michigan-Illinois is THE game. Two REAL centers playing one another: 7'1" Hunter Dickinson vs 7'0" Kofi Cockburn. Not a three pointer between the two of them - - two guys who play in the post, snatch rebounds, and shoot three feet or closer to the basket. A matchup from the 1970s or 1980s here in 2021!

7 minutes left in the first half and Baylor has a 26 - 20 lead. Gonna be a tight one.

I always liked Huggy and West Virginia - and I get we've gone through Covid - but it's odd looking at a #6 team in the country - the 1st week in March who is 17-6

I like Huggy and WVU as well - but I’ve never sure what to make of them, it’s always hard to figure out how far they’ll go in the tourney. Very good game so far.

Baylor hits a last second three pointer just before the half to make it 35 - 31 Baylor. The one point lead it would have been would have been more representative of what's going on.

Basically they play four guards and Cockburn. They fascinate me - - I'm rooting for them.

Both West Virginia and Baylor are sloppy at the end of the game, so, we're headed to overtime.

huggy needs some... Yeah, Huggy Bear could use a double now. W Virgin had this game, gave it away, Butler is conference champion.

Michigan foul trouble and lackluster play, especially on the boards leads to a 33 - 22 lead for Illinois over Michigan at the half.
Apparently, Baylor's conference championship is their first in 79 years.

Baylor/WVU game was great, I think Baylor is probably the best team in the country. Michigan hasn’t been impressive so far tonight.

Illinois went to Michigan and drank their milkshake.  Maybe they won over a few detractors tonight. |
