Here\u2019s your recap of Sad Wednesday: <\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
The hot Sooners continued their winning ways, defensively outhustling the Bulldogs, while doing just enough from the perimeter to advance.<\/li>\n
Arkansas traded a lot of punches with South Carolina and outlasted USCe in the day\u2019s dumbest game.<\/li>\n
Mississippi State euthanized the pitiful LSU Tigers\u2019 season, and probably sent the Coonasses coach shopping. <\/li>\n
The one upset (at least to us) was the day\u2019s best game, as Vandy and Texas were evenly matched for most of the contest. But in the end, the Horns were able to keep their NCAA tourney hopes alive in a hostile Bridgestone Arena, and cool down Terry\u2019s hot seat a tad. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Here are today\u2019s matchups:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
Another rock fight, this time between Crooked Cal\u2019s surging Pay Piggies, and the Wife Beater\u2019s reeling Unreconstructed Biggest Fish in the Smallest of Ponds.<\/li>\n
A hella\u2019 <\/em>spicy Texas-Texas A&M hatefest. One team can\u2019t play offense, one team can\u2019t play defense, and both fanbases deserve one another. SIDE CONTENT: The two biggest ball hogs in the SEC square off as well, as Wade Taylor and Tre Johnson are easily <\/em>going to have 30+ shot attempts between them. Wanna\u2019 bet on it?<\/li>\n
The Mid-off between Mizzou, losers of the last 80% of their contests; Mississippi State, also <\/em>losers of the last 80% of their regular season contests. We covered this already though. Not all 1-4 finishes are created equal \u2014 Clanga is playing much better down the stretch.<\/li>\n
Low-key best game of the day: Sooners and Wildcats. OU just lost a previous meeting by a lone point in Norman two weeks ago. Could be a barn-burner (though not a Barn-burner; that will have to wait until Johni Broome\u2019s mons venus <\/em>starts aching when he doesn\u2019t get whistles and a team bodies up those guards). <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Here\u2019s our team-by-team preview and round-by-round predictions:<\/strong><\/p>\n
