From what I've read Grant is highly respected by the administration from top to bottom. There are a few fans who are disgruntled but they wouldn't be happy if Bama was #1.

No love for the CAA? Drexel, Mason, and VCU are all good teams this year...

It's a down year for the league and unlike most years, nobody in the conference really picked up quality nonconference wins. I'd be shocked if they got multiple bids. VCU and especially Drexel are both good though.

I say they definitely get 2 and maybe 3 again...

the administration is Very high on Coach Grant. the thing the admins. like the most, it's Coach Grant"s way or get out.
there are a couple knuckleheads on this team that he's lost and i won't be surprised if he makes every effort at seasons end to make them move on.
if he can get Bama in the dance every other year, i think the fans will take it.

Good game last night. We have a very underrated freshman class. Green needs to watch another game or two...aww heck just tell him good luck and shake his hand.

I've just read really vague rumors from some credible sources. It's bad. So bad that most that know the info are shocked they weren't kicked off the team immediately.

Bama as a 7 seed. I like it. Would love for them to advance to the 2nd round and face Ohio State. That team is vulnerable. Sullinger is moving like a 70 year old.

I've watched eight or nine games now this season ... the most impressive team I've seen is certainly Marquette.

The Lennox Lewis looking dude can really play.

They impressed me more than NC, Kentucky (I saw them play Vandy on the road) and Kansas did.

Vandy would have easily beat Kentucky if they settled for outside shots instead of trying to will it inside where that friggen beast that was blocking and rebounding everything was.

Not a college hoops maven, and won't be betting, but I think Florida is a sure bet-against in the first round. Gators are "rounding out of form."

Vandy beat Kentucky today. They must match-up right for them.

I said Marquette was the best team I've seen...but I also watched them play Louisville and the pressure D by Louisville made Marquette turn the ball over like crazy and they rushed up a lot of high percentage shots that didn't go.

It's weird because Marquette isn't a very big team and you think they'd handle a press D...but they couldn't.

I LOVE Marquette against any team that lets them control the pace when they have the ball on offense. They fucl<ed up over and over against pressure.

I love the way Marquette plays defense. They are relentless.

Detroit Titans are the small school that impressed me most. They freaking wiped the floor with Valpo in Valpo ... and Valpo was 3-0 against Butler this year.
