Rutgers' problem has nothing to do with a lack of talent. They have some guys that can really play. Coming off of Senior night, win or lose, that's going to be a very tough game to get back up for in such a short turnaround (noon tip). It's their Senior game and we always seem to struggle at the RAC, a la games at USF.

Russ Smith is playing incredibly. 6 second half threes and 20 points in the half...

Russ Smith is ridiculous. I wanted SMU to win this game, but this is a very impressive showing by him.

It's out of hand now so I hope uconn can pull the upset this weekend so we can win outright or we will have to share the title.

Nebraska got a clutch road win over Indiana to get back into the top 50 RPI, they are still in contention to get a bid.

Dayton pulls off the road upset over #17 St. Louis. The Billikens are falling apart and Dayton is solidifying their tournament spot. They could possibly play in the first four on their home floor...
It looks like the A10 has a good chance to get six bids, which is pretty remarkable. Dayton has a couple terrible losses, but have some solid wins (#11 Gonzaga and Cal in Maui, @ St. Louis, @ Ole Miss). They've won 8 of 9 and have a struggling Richmond at home on Saturday.
SDSU @ UNLV is an interesting game right now. I have a feeling UNLV could be a bid stealer in the MWC with that conference tournament being on their home floor. They split with New Mexico and are playing SDSU tough.

Yeah the NCAA said this week that they would in fact play at UD because they don't have a backup facility that would work out.

The A10 with a possibility of 6 tells you how wide open this national championship tournament will be. It's why I keep saying if UC can get hot for a few games...
I completely agree. This team could not have been worse on offense the last two games and they still had a chance to win both. If the offense gets going just a little I think they can beat anyone on a given day.
That said, I also think the variance is obviously high, if they end up with a 4 seed there are many teams in the 5 seed range that could beat the Bearcats if the offense fails to show.

Hahaha guys, Chris Mack is taking shots at the A10 in his post game presser after the loss to Villanova...

"And I’m telling you right now, Georgetown would be a Top 2 or 3 team in the Atlantic 10. And it’s not even close," Mack said. #Xavier

"Maybe we haven’t won the PR battle but I do know this: I coached in the A-10. And I coach in the Big East now," Mack said. #Xavier
Does this guy realize that the A10 is going to get more teams in the NCAA tournament than the Big East??? What freaking irony...

Anyway you try and polish Chris Mack up, he is still a turd and a giant douche.
I wonder if the x fans will hate him now. They lambasted Mick when he said 10 or more Big East teams could win the A-10. Nah, I imagine it's completely different now that the comment relates to defending their own mediocrity.
