I don't know. Nothing significant in the nonconference, 4-10 against the RPI 1-50. I realize not many teams are locking up bids, but I don't think they're in right now.

South Carolina sucks. They're not getting in, even if they win this game.

They'd have gotten in with a win cause there is no way they'll only take 2 from the SEC. I think the winner of Florida-Auburn gets in now unless Miss St makes a run to the finals.

Conference is irrelevant. They're not going to reach for a mediocre team just because they think the conference is underrepresented. I think Florida will probably be in with a win, but Auburn needs two wins.

The A-10 backs up Phil's contention with Xavier losing to Temple tonight.

Or the A-frickinsmart-10 depending on how you want to look at it. Once they legalize sports gambling in Delaware we can throw together parlays like Temple/Duquesne tonight and make a killing.

well, was Dayton really a lock?? I guess they are. My Nittany Lions are officially out now I believe. That game was nowhere near as close as the 14 point final margin. Out of it from the opening tip...although more a function of Purdue shooting out of their minds for 30 minutes than anything.
