Total CHOKE job. Castro alone hit only two of 10 free throws (missed four in the last two minutes), as the rest.of the team shot for 14 of 19. The only way to lose to GeeDub is to not show up... er... D-oh!

Remember last year when Castro missed both FTs in a tie game against us with basically no time left on the clock and we beat them in OT? He’s always been a terrible clutch FT shooter.

Ohhhh... those were the days.

I think that pretty much seals us out of a top 4 finish with St. Joseph's beating URI

Atlantic 10 Conference
Sunday, March 15, 1 p.m., CBS

Borzello: Saint Louis
Lunardi: Saint Louis
Medcalf: Saint Louis

Why Saint Louis will win: Robbie Avila (12.6 PPG, 4.1 APG, 41% from 3) is one of six players averaging double figures in scoring for coach Josh Schertz this season. The Billikens have hit a few speed bumps in recent weeks, but they also have made 59% of their shots inside the arc and 41% of their 3-point attempts -- all while playing with a top-35 defense. -- Medcalf

Still holding out hope that our 20th Anniversary with CTS at the helm will stirr the Basketball Gods into having us appear in the Dance.

But after this year, f**k the ncaa and their rigged bullshit. There is no point in playing a regular season when A) big programs conspire to not play you. B) You could possibly be left out of the tournament b/c of A and b/c you have a few losses. One f**king loss and Miami (OH) aint getting in according Bruce Pearl! Underheard of! Somebody needs to file a lawsuit. IF kids can turn college sports upside down then a few hundred basketball programs can diffently come up with a lawsuit to even the playing field. And if the big boys wanna become pussies and leave, then f em. Let them start their own tournament or just be absorbed into the G league. what is happening now is absurd. Lose one game, and miss the dance? f outta here

After the loss at vcu, Mason can do no worse than #7. Would be a miracle if we hit #4—mathematically possible, but highly improbable.

Mason would need a St. Joe's loss at Davidson on Wednesday followed by a St. Joe's loss at home to LaSalle. Then, of course, we would need a win vs. SLU to close the season.

There are games to be played.

Lunardi's response:

"I try to avoid debates without clear right or wrong answers, but Bruce Pearl's argument against Miami (Ohio) as an at-large team requires context. First, high-major status aside, we have no idea whether Auburn is the better basketball team. Second, Miami has won four more true road games than Auburn has played, and road teams in men's college basketball win less than one-third of the time. Finally, in the modern history of the NCAA tournament, great mid-majors have won almost twice as many games as middling high-majors, despite fewer bids and weaker seeding. Now, I suppose it's possible Miami is the worst undefeated team of all time, and Auburn is the best .500 team we've ever seen -- but it's way more likely Pearl would be better off leaving Bracketology to the professionals."

Men's Bracketology: Miami (Ohio) or Auburn? Sorry, Bruce Pearl -- it's the RedHawks

The RedHawks are two wins away from an undefeated regular season while the Tigers are barely above .500.

[Where's the party?]

Watching the vcu / Dayton game. Only arrived in time to watch the last 8:00 mins, but the wife says the announcers and the refs seem to be in the tank for vcu. Announcers obviously lobbying to 2 bids, but the refs....

What I've seen is the same silly non-fouls called against Dayton that we got. Also, the refs just didn't call a continuation 3 for Dayton that could have given them 3 FT's with 10 seconds down 4. Sure hope we get some SEC or Big 10 refs during the A10 tourney.

Hipster U has all these refs snowed.
