We're No. 7!!!!!

[gmujim92]

SI.com ranked us No. 7 in its Sweet 16 of NCAA tournament Cinderellas.

http://www.si.com/college-basketball/2015/08/11/best-cinderellas-ever-ncaa-tournament-march-madness

We're one of 5 current A-10 teams listed, along with Davidson (4), Dayton (10), vcu (11) and Richmond (13).

Not sure why they'd list us behind 5 teams that didn't make the Final Four, but pretty impressive company nonetheless.

Voting begins tomorrow, Thursday, Aug. 13, and runs into next week. Don’t be an evil stepmother. Give the draw an eyeball and submit your picks. It’s not every year that March comes around in August.

Nice, we should be #1!

I will be in Indianapolis this weekend. 1st time back since 2006. I may shed a tear when I see the dome and Ram's Head bar. Next order of business is to find a UF fan and beat the crap out of him.

They're almost as annoying as those other fans down south. I stress almost.

Where is that listed? Or do you have to subscribe to SI to vote?

I voted a second time on a different computer here:

http://www.si.com/college-basketball/2015/08/11/best-cinderella-ncaa-tournament-march-madness

Looks like it's the same as the initial link, but to get to vote I had to click on a follow up article. Pretty clunky. Right now we're ahead by ~80 votes with 57% of the vote (was 58% earlier this morning). I gather if we "advance" there will be another vote tomorrow for the elite 8 matchups.

Voted. Looks like Mason is ahead by about 100 votes right now.

Got my vote in!

The vcu idiots will probably stuff the ballot box, but by all rights we should win this whole thing.

Before there was Butler, vcu, Davidson or Wichita State, people across the country were asking "Who is this year's George Mason?"

Our 2006 team shattered the glass ceiling and showed other mid-majors that it was realistic to dream about playing in the Final Four.

We need to keep rocking the vote.

That's strange. I work on a Mac OS X and use Chrome, and I was able to vote real quickly about 20 minutes ago. I wonder what the difference is.

 

[gmujim92]

We're kicking Dayton's a**. What an unfamiliar feeling this is.

 

[GSII]

Is it over? Or are we about to blow the lead bc we cant inbounds the ball?

GS, you have all the symptoms of Hewitt-induced PTSD.

The treatment is watching a well-coached team, which (regardless of W-L record) I firmly believe we will be in 2015-16.

vcu is losing....
