    without having analyzed today's bracketology too closely, i could see temple being a 6 maybe.

    i don't know why the beef is with st johns though. they're a solid team with some big wins down the stretch. there's probably another team higher seeded than temple that you can make a better case against...

    Like who? Villanova?

    We'll see what happens.

    Good luck vs. Old Dominion. :lol:

    well i think you could make a better case against nova than st johns to be honest (i thought they'd drop further--but then again their two losses last week came against two teams curretnly in the top 5. BRUTAL! :x )

    ODU fell apart in 2nd half. that was a weird game. I felt like I was watching a pickup game...only with referees

    what a night in college hoops in Philly. Hawks win on the road in OT, LaSalle wins on the road in double-ot in a wild crazy game and nova has one of the great chokes in Big East tourny history. Hawks get Duquesne friday afternoon. Like GW a team that will play a bit wild and give you open shots which should help the hawks. LaSalle game was crazy. Bonnies had a 7 point lead and the ball with like 40 seconds left and managed to lose it. LaSalle down 2 and scrub Weingarten hits a 3 to put them up and guy on Bonnies misses 2 free throws with 3 seconds left. Watching Giannini on the sidelines is worth the price of admission. nova i'm not allowed to talk about according to jaegs but all i say is wow. fucking love march boys. beers and hoops doesn't get any better.

    utterly and thoroughly disgusted. same feeling i had after the odu game many many years ago actually.

    what was so frustrating for me was i worked late tonight and had to watch on gamecast. took my last call right with about 15 minutes to go. turned into a great loan----but the call lasted the rest of the game. so i'm selling this dude this totally gnarly mortgage with the help of my adonis dna and tiger blood while watching nova suffer an incredibly slow and painful death at the same time. it was excruciating. i'm putting the phone on mute and screaming "what the fuck?!" in mid sentence. constantly putting the dude on hold. good god what an awful hour. luckily i locked the f-cker in.

    i just don't get it. your best player shoots lights out in the first half...then barely gets any shots in the 2nd half. doesn't make any sense to me....what a waste of talent this year. they should decline the 11 or 12 seed. they don't deserve it right now!

    hard to believe this was only 2 years ago. (i still get goose bumps watching this shit :mrgreen: ):

    Nice W for the Hawks. I'd like to see them make a miracle run to the Final, and then lose to Temple. ;)

    Owls get LaSalle on Friday. That won't help the old RPI too much.

    At least 3 Big 5 teams are still playing this week. 8-)

    As for Villanova, its stunning collapse -- a loss to the South Florida in the Big East opening round merely the latest defeat -- is not enough to move the Wildcats completely out of the bracket. However, they are creeping dangerously close to having to play in the First Four games in Dayton. This coming from a team that was No. 7 in the country in late January.

    if they were in any other conference (sorry dude ;) ) they'd be nit bound. honestly, they fucking deserve the nit after last night. i seriously think that was their worse loss since odu (thanks for bringing them up the other day fixer :x :lol: ). certainly feels like it.

    sunday evening will be tense. no doubt.

    Yup. The Big East has to have 3/4 of its teams in the tourney.

    SI.com bracket has Villanova vs. ODU in a 9-8 matchup. :lol:

    it worked out great for the A10. They get a Dayton-Xavier rivalry game followed by Hawks-Duquesne in the aftenroon and Temple-LaSalle at night. Should have two good crowds friday for those. and i'd rather lose in the semi's than have to lose to Temple in the final again. not a good feeling to see you guys dancing on the court as we walk off. that damn 1st title 3 years ago still haunts me.

    as for nova i wouldn't sweat too much yet but if there are a bunch of tourny upsets they might worry a bit. i got to think they have to fall below 8-9 now. 10 sounds about right to me.

    A-10 Tourney gets into the swing of it tonight. Temple-LaSalle @ 6:30. Also, St. Joe's tries to survive another day vs. the Dukes.
