Georgetown 58, Syracuse 72: Is Georgetown a fraud? Is Syracuse better than we all thought they were? Whatever the case, Syracuse probably went ahead and clinched themselves an invitation to The Dance. It was their second big win in four days, and they’ve gone from a team who was on the outside looking in, to a team that really controls their own destiny. Barring a total collapse, Syracuse is in.
Kansas 67, Oklahoma 65: They blew a 17 point lead, but something tells me this is just the kind of game the Jayhawks needed. They’ve been killing their opponents, so having a scare at the end of the regular season is probably a good thing. Julian Wright and Mario Chalmers both scored 18 points, helping the Jayhawks win their eighth straight. Not many people have talked about them, but I think they at least deserve some consideration for a one seed.
