I think both SLU and vcu have a shot at winning their first-round games.

SLU has certainly been vulnerable this past month. Unfortunately, even if they win, they likely will have to play Michigan next. That's the big downside with 8/9 seeds--winner is destined to play one of the best teams in the country (remembering painfully what happened to us when we beat Villanova in 2011 and then faced #1 seed Ohio State in Cleveland in front of an arena that was nearly solid scarlet and grey.

UNC injuries make them vulnerable as well and vcu, despite so many of us rooting against them, has played the best of all the A10 teams in the last 2 months. Might even have a shot at Illinois if they advance.

It certainly helps fortify the A10 argument for multi-bid status if at least one of our teams survives the first round.

NIT
Mason and Dayton are the only A10 teams hosting, with the others playing a long way from home. Still, so much depends on a team's attitude, especially in the NIT games, apparent "upsets" seem rather common.

Dayton is not hosting, despite being the higher seed, because of the 1st four.

Home Run post by our very own Mr. Met. That is the energy we need. F*ck vcu. None of this root for them or give them kudos. We need that “us against the world” chip on our shoulder going forward.

Refs let so many vcu fouls go uncalled towards the end of regulation that would have resulted in UNC free throws.

Hubert Davis deserves to get fired for that one. How does he not call TO with the inbound at 11 secs left?
