As we are taking a look at Jerry palms list we are just popping bubbles here at HQ looking at the last 4 in 1st 4 out according to our Jerry Palm Penn state taken on Illinois in the big 10 tournament Michiga
n among the last foreign faces ruckers This which is the 1st 4 out the rest of the schools here are Utah state Oklahoma state Arizona state they can help their case in conference tournament action and it's all Going down today I'm a man who has not stopped Jerry Palm welcome back to HQ not looking at the last 4 in Penn state and action tonight against Illinois now the nittany lions they prove dominance against the fighting line I twice this season what does Penn state need to prove tonight
Well they need to prove I suppose if that's not a fluke it didn't try and feed Illinois a 3rd time which is not an easy task you don't want you to I'm gonna let's match up with this bad which it couldn't be Jaylen Pickett of Penn state is one of the best players in the big 10 and really 1 of the best players of the country that probably doesn't get enough attention for Penn state
It's always tough to get that 3rd win after getting 2 during the season no another team on the bubble we have Utah state and late night match up again Mexico in the mountain West the Agnes Fighting to remain in the tournament you think they can get it done well maybe as Utah state has gotten one of the weirdest resumes Play 5 quad 1 games and they only play 3 quad 4 games and there's below 500 against each of those groups of teams but most of their schedule is quite 2 and 3 they haven't been very good away from home against better teams new of course New Mexico was one of those better teams and then they hit a late season slump and now they have to win the conference together to get in but they're capable of it so this is a tougupdate for Utah state and it's probably a must win game for Utah state because they have not done well against the better competition away from home
I'll go get hot at the right time now from the last 4 in to the 1st 4 out you went see an action tonight against Virginia the tarheels I got it done against lost in college but facing a little bit of a tougher task tonight what can we do
Well they get to play Virginia that's their 1 quad 1 win so far was the home wind over Virginia so virginia's probably gonna be a little fired up to try and event proprietors are you a best team in the conference even though they they shared the week title they didn't get the top seed in the tournament but this would be North Carolina's best win if they get it because it's not at home it's a neutral court
So this might be the kind of a wind that puts North Carolina into the nca tournament it's not guaranteed but it's a big step in the right direction and it's the best wind that they can get prior to the championship game because whoever they were faced in the next round will not be as highly rated as Virginia
Retain on the bubble OK stay come in off at 8.1 over Oklahoma on the 1st round facing Texas tonight so who do you think comes out on top in the big 12 well I mean Texas have been one of the best teams in the country all seas alarms so it's a tall task for Oklahoma state but if they want to make the NC Double-A tournament faith probably have to get this win if they don't earlier be about 3 games above 500 overall they're not gonna have a brain record against the top of your 2 or 3 quadrants they have a quad 3 loss of 2 quad 2 losses which is what separates them from saying West Virginia who was in roughly the same part of the conference standings But only has one wash outside of quiet wood so Oklahoma state isn't really good to feel comfortable about making the MC double eternity if they don't get this win today against Texas
How about Arizona state they're fighting to stay alive in the pack 12 the USA has been Em twice this season do you think the sun devils that can finally come out on top tonight
Don't beat USC in this 3rd attempt and if they beat USC which is also a bubble team they don't necessarily get higher than USC in the pecking order because USC in part as 2 wins over them so it's still be 2 and 1 but it gets them closer but the most important thing is it gets them another game and that game with the Arizona there are tribal who they beat on a airport shot not too long ago so that gives them a chance to actually play their way if you don't win tonight could I could get that chance
He is Jerry Palm Jerry get some rest in between all of these games .
