Go HEE...never mind:wf

Siena is sweet 16 bound if not further, Syracuse wins it all.

My Hoyas got a chance to make a run. They are shooting the basketball great, both from the field and the line. Greg Monroe is one the best passing big man I've seen, coming off a 12 assist game. Always look forward to March Madness!:)

Syracuse/Uconn was a good game. Lots of intensity and good play though the call on the timeout was terrible.

Sorry Scott.

I know it's not the best year for the Big East but they will get more than 5 teams IMO. One or two more teams out of Marquette, Louisville, USF, Notre Dame etc.... will get in

Good news!;) Please stay away from my team! :D

why I ask.. why did you have to mush Syracuse? :mad:

:tro: :tro:

Bids Accounted For (assuming no conference champ outliers) - 27
Remaining - 7

If there aren't at least two CAA teams in the tournament, the selection committee should be sent to prison.

They'll get at least two. Old Dominion's a lock, William & Mary should have enough if they finish strong, same with Northeastern, and VCU's a possibility.

drop fsu they are bad this year..the coach cant make subs during the game.and the big men arent playing well..next year.

The wins over Marquette and Georgia Tech keep them in the discussion and their only real bad loss was against NC State (though they did get stomped by Florida). If they can finish above .500 in the ACC I think they get in.

I hope you're right, but my boys have a tough schedule left. Road games at KSU and Baylor along with home games against KU and Texas could easily add up to four losses. That would basically mean they would need to win the rest of their other games (including two more conference road games) and maybe win a conference tournament game to get in.

Not that it was likely to make a difference, but if Carolina had any shot of slipping into the dance, chances are almost for certain over as Ed Davis is out for next 6 weeks with a broken wrist.

Since the expanded tourney format, when was the last time the defending champ did not make the tourney the next year? :(

Yeah, the schedule is the only reason I didn't have them as a lock. Still, they should be able to win one of those four games you mention, they have the win over Kansas State and a few decent nonconference wins (Old Dominion, Illinois) on neutral courts. 4-3 the rest of the way gets them in, and even 3-4 wouldn't be a death sentence, considering that they'd still be >.500 in the #1 RPI conference.

LOL

:tro:

I know I'm biased because I am an alumnus of a CAA school but it's a very, very good conference this year. However, VCU really shot themselves in the foot this week losing twice on the road, Northeastern probably didn't do enough in the nonconference, and W&M has a couple very disappointing losses (by 1 and 2 points). ODU is inching closer to lock status. If W&M can finish strong I think they will get in. The rest need to win the conference tournament.

Watch them win the ACC tourney
