I have no idea when last they got only one bid. They've got at least 3 every year for the last ten, including 5 in 2013 and 6 in 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Or due to all the “top” conferences having a year with tons of extra losses for allegedly elite teams, are they going to expand the number of Big 10 and ACC teams in March Madness? might be the first year since the 1970s that conference tournies may mean a thing at all, back then only the winner got to go to the NCAA tournament.

He’s got 6 Big East teams, more importantly he’s got Xavier starting as a 1 seed in Nashville. THAT would be perfect for me! (And really, what else matters?) The Big East would have two of the #1 seeds as well. Nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sitting in it right now. It’s an $8-10 Uber ride to the arena - walked past it just yesterday. Cheaper than parking, and better for a lot of other reasons too!

Buffalo716 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 A10 was definitely weaker than it has been in a long long time they might only get 1 in. Looks like Bonnie's is the other realistic option if they can hit 21+ wins good RPI , good win (unfortunately ) at Syracuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plenzmd1 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Buck out today, beating the Bonnie’s at home just got a poop load harder. Out 3 days with cramps, that’s freaking weird.

Augie Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Villanova is having their way with Butler. Down 8 with 6 minutes left is not usually insurmountable, but it’s Nova. (Yes, this was intended as a jinx.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Xavier pulls out difficult (and somewhat amazing) win AT Creighton, at the buzzer. The first home loss of the year for the Blue Jays. I had my son record it (I was traveling), but recording ended with 4.6 seconds left and Creighton at the FT line with a shot to tie, and another to go up 1. DANG! Mental error on my part! Miracle ending was caught on twitter. YAY! 1 hour ago, row_33 said: Boiler down Two crushing last second losses in 3 days Happens as soon as everyone says you’ll win out.

eball Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Good week for the Heels. Looks like they've regrouped from that 3-game skid nicely. They finish off a 3-games-in-5-days run tomorrow night at home vs. the Irish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Hoping for a great game Saturday with Villanova at Xavier. Always a rough matchup for X, or generally anyone else... Two top 5 teams. Xavier is #1 in the Big East at the moment. GO MUSKIES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
