Re: We'd Better Make The Dance

I'm getting cable run into my office next week and bringing in an extra TV from home. We'd better make The Dance

Don't forget about free internet video streaming from CBSSportsline.com. It'll come in handy when you are stuck watching the Tarheels in your local area playing in the 1-16 game while there are Barnburners all over the Tourney.

Thanks Mac. I'm already signed up (from last year) and ready for action. Now, we just need The Braves to make it all worthwhile

Well, our chances have taken a tremendous hit in the last 24 hours. Wright St took a bid from the bubble by beating Butler, and Syracuse likely locked themselves in (undeservingly I might add) with a win over a pathetic UConn team that probably would have played-in the MVC Tournament this year. DePaul also erased any doubt that Villanova would dance by losing to them in the Big East opener. So, you can book 7 from the Big East (Georgetown, Pitt, ND, Marquette, Louisville, Syracuse, Villanova), and an 8th if West Virginia wins tonight over Providence. The way the last 24 hours have gone, I would say West Virginia is a LOCK.

Syracuse has 1 top 50 win, plus the rest of their numbers are again worse than ours. How can you take them. RPI 48, SOS 49. If they don't win another in the tourney, I don't see how they can get in.

Conventional wisdom says that, but the pundits and the committee probably won't see it that way unfortunately.

I would like to see the 'blind resume' comparison between BU and Syracuse, and several other teams that are supposedly ahead of them in the pecking order.

Actually they have three:

Marquette
Villanova
G'Town

The boys on Sportscenter put them in tonight and showed their RPI & SOS & I just had to laugh because BU is better on both counts & we're all afraid they're out.
