Ugh...Ole Miss just misses 3 to win game with less than 3 sec left. Then withstands miracle 3 at end
Arky survives and that thunderish whoosh you hear is bubble teams around the country exhaling

VCU takes care of St Joes to reach A10 final. Still would be in their best interest to win tomorrow
Dayton and San Diego State are the lone bid stealers out there

Dercack LOL. Can we get a list of players that once they left Rutgers that when on to the NCAA's? It's laughable that you can write a book of this nonsense. I'm watching all these games the past few days and wondering WTF we are doing here at RU. I was thinking I was giving Pike these passes but then thought he had 2 NBA players on the team last year and could not figure out a .500 season. Coaches have to find a way even if it means adjusting to what palyers you have.
Ha..good catch..the one from Alabama!How many Virginia teams are getting 4 seeds?
Id give Will Berg another chance in the B1G in scarlet
Our old nemesis Kennesaw State is going to win Conference USA. Where last season's downward spiral began

Bac - do you have VCU currently in? If so , if Dayton wins tomorrow- who is out? Is it Texas or NC State or VCU?.
Had Indiana beat NW in Big 10 tourney - would you have had them in?
VCU currently in as AQ from A10 as 11 seed. They may still remain in the field with a loss but no guarantee.
If Dayton wins, one of these is out
SMU
VCU
TEXAS
Also worried the selection committee will do throw a surprise curveball with a school no one has in
Bac will be in seclusion doing his last minute scrubbing. He is actually giving up his annual ordering a pizza because he is deeply concentrating on his selections. More serious this year than others.
I really hope Auburn doesn't get in can't stand the Pearls.
Here is this mornings WAB update
Texas has now moved to right on the cut line with a 0 WAB an improvment from yesterdays -.015. San Diego State has now moved to a negative WAB. Auburn at .40 and SMU at .05 would be in the field with Texas out but the Longhorns have now moved to 0 WAB up from yesterdays -.015. I expected by principles it should come down to these 3 schools for 2 bids. Lets see if the NCAA walks the walks since they emphasized WAB so much , if they were to select a negative WAB they would be setting themselves up for major criticism. In addition VCU currently 40 in the WAB at +1.34 is fairly strong. Not sure a Q2 loss on a neutral court will pull that down too much. Note though that WVU had a strong WAB last year and was left out. VCU will still be vulnerable with a loss today.
Santa Clara 41/36
VCU 42/40
Auburn 43/44
Texas 44/46
NC State 45/43
Oklahoma 47/49
Seton Hall 48/56
SMU 49/45
Indiana 50/52
Is their a possibility that the committee just decides to put BOTH Auburn and Texas in the field and knock out SMU or SMU and VCU if they do not win the A10. Its certainly one way they can go. I am leaning putting Texas in over Auburn for that last spot but to tell you the truth I am not enamored at all with Texas and Auburns has better wins. I am down on Auburn solely for their 17-16 and 11-16 Q1/2/3, its just a bridge too far for me but I can easily see the committee justifying it. However I am open after scrubbing to putting Auburn in solely on who I think is the better at large team and I just think Auburn is better than Texas and SMU
VCU is just 1-5 vs the field and that is if USF makes it. Its a very weak mark.
