    OMG!! Rumors of Dougie Overton talking to Philly schools about head coaching gigs. Please make this happen. Bye Doc G!

    DR. G. is the last coach in this city to make a Sweet 16. How about that? Don't see LaSalle firing him. School is having financial issues I can't imagine they would buy him out and pay another coach. Unless his buyout is small i can't see it.

    Not sure about Bruiser at Drexel but I imagine he will survive at least one more year as well.

    So....Big East regular season champs third year in a row. Ho hum.

    Lunardi still has a possible second round matchup between Nova and St Joes. I can't imagine all the Nova hate that will emanate throughout the tri state area should that actually happen. Should be fun though. Love this time of year

    I think St. Joe's has to at least make the finals in the A10 tourny to get in. If they lose early they ain't gonna make it in. Does the American conference have a tourny? . Does the American Conference have an automatic bid of you win the regular season?

    the Hawks are still fine and should still be ok if they lose to GW on friday in ther quarters. A loss to GW there probably puts the Hawks in one of the play in games. If GW loses to St. Louis or George Mason in the 1st round and the Hawks lose to one of those 2 then they are probably out. The bubble is still pretty bad so I think the Hawks are going to be fine. and I think they will win Friday anyway.

    regular season league champions get automatic bids to the NIT if they don't make the NCAAs. I think Temple needs to get to the finals to get an at-large.

    Big 10 and Pac 10 were the last two to go to a conference tourney. Maybe a decade ago? Ivy only one left without one and there have been talks of them having one. I hope the Ivy leaves it as is though.

    Yeah, you're right. Pac 10/12 started ther Tourney around 2000 & The Big 10 started around 1998.

    I don't think the Ivies should start a Tourney either. Not sure it would be worth the money for them to hold one? Leave the Ancient 8 the way it is.

    Great weekend for the Hawks. tough start on Friday but came through and put on a clinic today against VCU. Oregon is long which will give the Hawks trouble if they get by Cincy. Beat Cincy 1st though and take a shot at them. If gonna be an 8-9 probably the one the Hawks have a shot against so will take it. Last game of the 1st round is not great since it's late Friday night but always nice to be in the dance no matter what time.

    Nova got a nice draw for the 1st weekend but the South is stacked after that. I think Nova def beats the Temple-Iowa winner.

    Overall the committee pretty much fucked the mid-majors. power 5 conferences using their power. probably only going to get worse in the future.

    and having Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley on just goes to show you that if you pay enough money in America you can do whatever the fuck you want. What a disgrace those 3 buffoons were on this show. They managed to take one of the best hours in sports and turn it into an unwatchable 2 hour hot mess.

    Glad to see Temple make it too.

    How is 'Nova in the South Region, when ther ther a #2 seed? Shouldn't they be in the East Region?

    ^^^Yeah, i agree about the NBA crew that now does the NCAA Tourney. Makes no sense to me.^^^^

    Congrats and good luck to the Big 5 schools. I can't believe this show is 2 hours now. No wonder the bracket leaked. Leaning towards Oregon as my champ.
