Jeff North Carolina beat -- to wrap up the ACC's regular season title how dangerous are the Tar Heels can Roy Williams team. When it all Lexmark take the national championship. You know I don't know they can win it all is that still thank -- -- at their perimeter shooting could be an issue but. There's certainly a team to go to follow Warren nobody would have said that in January but. You know putting -- Marshal into the starting lineup has changed everything for this team. Now you've got Harrison Barnes who's comfortable Tyler -- runs the court he gets the ball. You know candle -- is just pure point guard this immediate. -- how polite -- when Zeller and John Hanson. Defensively to cause problems in person Boras is make your shots from perimeter Wesley McDonald is doing the same. This is -- -- ignored deep maturity and you don't get out. Don't think did you win six in a row but winning -- -- we'd still be a major accomplishment for a team that most of us pegged to go -- and I teach you know month month and a half ago. -- -- about the rest of the conference how many big ZACC going to get. Into the field of 68. I think they'll probably get 45 you know you can pencil him right now Carolina Duke and Florida State. Florida State is kept its head above water even without Chris single epic there there's Xu women get in the tournament. And then I think water to -- BC. Clemson Virginia Tech played her -- in. Through the ACC tournament and I think it's ACC tournament it's -- be important opera all three of those teams right now Boston College in pretty good shape.

Reverend Al's done a good job don't have a lot of -- -- wins -- get our whole -- resume wants to be had in the ACC. Okay -- head west Arizona wrapped up the pac ten's regular season title. What's the outlook for this conference somebody pac ten teams you think we'll make it into the NCAA tournament. You know I don't think this league is is much tougher than it was a year ago. I think impacting -- story and I think it's pretty much charted solidified Arizona's in. UCLA's in -- Washington as long as they win a game and at the pac ten tournament. They're pretty good shape he's well. Miraculously what Jon Miller has been able to do that Arizona group this year and not all that talented and he's got the best player in the league and Derrick Williams. But what he's been banged up over the last couple weeks yeah. They still find a way to win the pac ten outright. Against a pair of teams really UCLA Washington. That clearly have more talent up and on the roster. Our Jeff thanks very much we'll check and you later for your top five teams of the week the Xavier Musketeers have been a mainstay in the top 45 posting their sixth consecutive. Twenty win season were pleased to be joined other head coach Chris Mack.

You know people I think wanna win in the -- and you -- -- championship and -- the the more success you have enough in the month mark. Terms of the year and the regular season and conference -- Only -- help seeing infinitely terms of all got together and I think our kids there are well aware of that. You point guard to Holloway is having a stellar season did you expect this kind of production watching him. In the offseason or has he stepped his game up even more than you expected. Well -- felt like in taller kids had really good offseason and I'm certainly. The majority of markets in -- fruit. I don't think anyone. Could easily. Maybe predictably tight the year he individually and it to to hand I feel like one cup. -- guard entire count in the entire country and that's garden that player costs. -- plays indicated that. You know those those got -- in the most work in the offseason in general terms usually works out form that. Nobody put more time and then in the offseason and -- crystal the masters it helps Bolger coaching style. What has several and I wouldn't be able to point to just one particular coach would certainly -- coaches -- -- played or. On June crude Evansville he can only savior in the in the two gentlemen that might know what my bosses. Those days in the Wake Forest have good prospects on and -- -- -- little -- -- everybody's. Experiences -- he -- -- -- as a player -- -- -- I think helped define -- you -- Chicago. Well -- you're coaching your alma mater years ago did you ever dating yourself with this kind of success here. No I mean I think you know I've been very blessed. To say you know twenty years ago that. A lot of been head -- -- that means that much aid goes to me. The Lions and you know very fortunately it's worked out who -- really good people. I'm coaching an actual basketball teams you could really care about winning. We have anyway. Now let's check out highlights of two teams trying to gain some momentum heading into the Big Ten tourney Minnesota hosting Penn State. First -- Rodney Williams will be emphatic two hand slam putting the billboards up by six early. But the Nittany Lions clawed back Jeff brooks driving delay with a bucket. Bennett trucks pulling up from the L always knocking it down and stayed out of three point lead at the break. In the second half the -- -- looking to keep -- close Ralph Sampson the third on the business end of the LA. -- ten seconds left Taylor battle to nail the free throw putting -- Nittany Lions up behind three. Minnesota comes down to -- looking for that side but -- hot barber can't get that deep shot to go. Penn State exiled with a 6663. Went. UNC Asheville became the first team that aren't a trip to the NCAA. Tournament but many other schools are going to have to wait to find out their fate on selection Sunday. Ballots an update on the bubble teams while Barrett of the brackets Jordan Schwartz. Thanks Brian let that we lack of selection Sunday a lot of both teams pass them better in this week during a conference tournaments. Talk about you on today we'll start off at Boston College 1911. And seven record -- These brief strong effort that went more yeah I went behind schedule just want -- market top is. -- markers that this week. They are playing well right now you know wrote on the bubble we'd have less day but we've still buying you. -- -- there probably needs to get that bottle is sure in. Alabama the FCC 28 overall quality or Cochran. Cart record but and major conferences. Eight yes. So we hear -- out there at work to do you ever do not look within our guy. Let's get 11. You know team and our guy eat your -- for me infinitely more than half -- -- but. Or is we just really really tough in the important things in top hundred. Or bad ball. Right now whoever you are yeah Colorado 812. Twelve overall. Cochran. Peter never are not -- either yet it's Eddie OR PI and strength of schedule. Five win over the top if he doesn't look good. If law that I was the glass bounced back the Nebraska. They Arab roughly and other basketball team my privacy you know -- But -- be in the well where did that plays well I was you know -- -- that -- -- and big happy or needed can't stay out there in the border. Now probably good enough -- -- yes and then on Friday we'll certainly get an end. All right Jordan thanks story much now let's get this -- -- this week's edition of our college flashback. Let's check in with some of the members of the LA Clippers starting with Randy full -- the find out the most important thing Baylor during their college day. When the biggest things I learned in Karros has to compete in an outsider. You know. Coming into college as an Indian you know American you know everything is easy to do when they're on this. Somewhat similar in size of criticism of talent become becomes a little tougher. Assaulting. And doesn't know who is just to compete not just when you human good -- You're not so -- every single day and I carried that over to India. I'll say probably. He's never taken anything for granted. Because everything goes quick. On semi coast coast events. And now's -- many -- stressed. And all of us is as his players was to make you practice hard. Just never take the game of basketball for granted because. You know it is a real world out there so. Let's say that's one thing. I saved my coach too emotional problems dollars and it was more justice and sensitive working hard every day you know practiced. -- and college prices were much harder I think than it is now because we have so many games to be played throughout the week and practice you know. Three hour practices running sprinting you know competing doing a lot of because of drew isn't making your approach mental -- -- mojo working and try to she gets in Mexico so. Ohio State had an emphatic win over Wisconsin on Sunday -- was not enough for the Buckeyes Jermaine. Jeff Goodman -- team let's get the run down from foxsports.com. College basketball insider. Number five on going Purdue even with the loss at Iowa I still think the boilermakers have done enough over the course of the season. To earn a spot and that's -- five and have an outside shot to get a number one seeded they can win the Big Ten tournament. Number four Notre Dame. It's unbelievable what Mike Brey -- Hansbrough and been able to -- this year. They've they've got on the road they've beaten Pittsburgh and you can't be beat Wisconsin earlier and neutral court. They've obviously been unbeatable at all means I'll bed so I got noted David -- Kansas at number three -- I don't have the most impressive resume in the world. But they're the most talented team in the country they've done enough to crack that top three. I've got Pittsburgh and number two they're the best team in the best conference in America. He joins the big east tournament with the number one seeds. I like the Panthers in the number Jews but. And number one clearly Ohio State. Especially out in dismantling Wisconsin. I think Columbus on Sunday I think motto and the black guys are the team to be drawn into the pro series. -- Jeff thanks very much that's gonna do it for this edition of hoops hysteria will be back to break down the brackets next week on selection Sunday. For Jeff Goodman Bob Bryan Webber have a great week everybody.
