Conference Tourney Update

SEC Tournament
#1 Kentucky 74, #19 Florida 71
In an outstanding semifinal game, #19 Florida came up just against #1 Kentucky, as player of the year candidate Anthony Davis had 15 points and 12 rebounds for the top-seeded 'Cats, which still has not lost a conference game all season long. Guard Bradley Beal had 20 for the Gators, which came much closer to pulling off the upset than in their earlier season meetings with Kentucky. In the other semifinal, Vanderbilt eliminates Ole Miss (likely sending them NIT bound) 65-53.
ACC Tournament
#4 North Carolina 69, NC State 67
In another nailbiter, Kendall Marshall hits a leaner with 11 seconds to go to give the Tar Heels a semifinal win over the on-the-bubble Wolfpack, and advance to the ACC Tournament final. Meanwhile, NC State, which is among the Last Four In, according to ESPN's Joe Lunardi, will have to sweat it out tomorrow on Selection Sunday.
#17 Florida State 62, #6 Duke 59
The Blue Devils lose any hope of getting a #1 seed in tournament, falling to the Seminoles for the second time this season. Florida State was led by Michael Snaer, again, who had 16 points and 6 assists, as the Seminoles advance to play Carolina in the final tomorrow.
Big 12 Tournament
#5 Missouri 90, #11 Baylor 75
The Tigers win the Big 12 championship in their Big 12 finale, beating the Bears for the third time this year. Senior guard Kim English, who was named tournament MVP had 19 points in Missouri's second Big 12 championship in four seasons over Baylor. The win gives Mizzou are good chance of getting a #1 seed in the tournament when the seedings come out tomorrow.
Pac-12 Tournament
Colorado 53, Arizona 51
Snubbed out of last year's tournament field, this year's Buffalo team left no doubt, as they won the Pac-12 Championship in LA to earn an automatic bid. The loss leaves Arizona precariously on the bubble, along with fellow Pac-12 bubble teams, Cal and Washington.
