I don't think VCU is on the outside looking in

Good work though

I don't really see how Joe put us in the last four in when we are ahead of over teams listed. It appears his bracketology just kind of reacts to the moment and losing right before he puts it out causes a team to tumble further than it should

Does anyone else get the feeling UCONN is going to win the AAC?

Boatwright just has a look in his eye

There will be at least one Bid thief this year. There always is.

Then there is always at least one team that gets in that surprises people.

Then there are always about 3-5 seed lines that are just off of the general consensus.

Didnt joe predict every at large team last year? I knows hes got perfect before so he normally can get that surprise.

For the purpose of boosting RPI, I think we would want Arkansas to win today and beat UK in the tile game. That would give us a top 20 RPI road win (maybe top15). Arkansas is currently at 22.

I think he generally misses one or none.

The conspiracy tiger in me says that no way we would get in above IU based on the committee seeing the pedigree they have vs the little pedigree we have.

He got them all in 08 and 13 but that was with 3 or 4 changes to the bracket the final few hours. (Like having Murray or ODU in next four out on Sunday and then sliding them in at 3pm.)

I think ODU might be that team this year. They look similar to 2011 VCU.

I still believe LSU is more on the line for play in game/in the field.

I actually think we will be ok unless more than 1 bid thief wins.

No at this time last year he had ranked SMU as a 9 and then his final bracket had them as an 11 but still not having to play the play in.

They missed the field.

URI is out which means A-10 will not expand to more than 3 bids(the started the week getting 3)

Wyoming off to a hot start vs SDSU(14-2 run). Its now 17-7.

Uconn down 4 at home to Tulsa. Ideally Uconn comes back but loses tmrw to SMU.

Tulsa needs to lose, but it may be worse to have UConn win that Tourney. Simply put we need SMU to win tomorrow.
