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.

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.

William and Mary is very strong this year although ODU is the class of that conference. Nice wins at maryland and wake. Miami fla in the mix from ACC

You know a small school that isn't bad? Wofford. They beat South Carolina and they get another shot at charleston who is the only team to beat them in the last 13 games.

Noah Dahlman's a nice player. They also won at Georgia and were up by 13 in the second half at Pittsburgh before losing by three. They'll crush Charleston at home.

Noah Dahlman is a nice pull. Impressive Ateam! What do you think about Ok st this year? I think Ford has that team playing.

Nice pull on Wofford. This is the kind of 14 seed that can win a game in the tournament. They control tempo really well- they have only given up 80 points in a game once all year and that was against Seattle who is 2nd in Tempo (Pomeroy stats) in the country. The Southern Conference blows this year but that doesn't mean they can't win a game in the tourney.

Phil and Joey are another level in college basketball. Highly impressive! It has nothing to do with the tourney, but have you guys noticed what Depaul has done against the number since the coaching change?

By saying "at least two", are you implying that the CAA could send three? That seems impossible.

What would need to happen:
1) ODU wins out and gets the 1 seed
2) Northeastern loses their last game and gets the 2 seed
3) William & Mary wins out and gets the 3 seed

4) ODU loses to the 4 seed in the semifinals
5) William & Mary loses in the finals to VCU/George Mason/Drexel

6) Bubble remains as soft as it is right now

So in reality, it would be very difficult. Regardless of what the committee claims- they cap conference inclusions and based on '05/06 and '06/07, it's two for the CAA.

That'll all be out the window when Mason wins the tourney again
