I said heading into the tournament that I thought the A10 would have more second round teams than any conference in the country. They got five. The Big Ten got six. I was close.

The Atlantic 10 is a top three conference in the country right now. Hands down. Cannot wait to see what these teams do. I hope one wins it all.
You arent rubbing anything in Ive agreed and have been saying they are better than the MWC all year. I only was giving you shit about KSt winning cause I needed that for the Player Pick-Em. Ive stated a few times before the games that KSt was going down to LaSalle. I also had every A-10 team winning but Butler. I have St Louis and VCU winning today. Nothing you have said I disagree with, I was just hoping and in a semi joking way trying to jinx LaSalle cause I needed Rodney McGruder to play in 3-4 games lol.

A-10 will have zero sweet sixteen teams. Can't wait until they are all blown out.

If you were in the Pick-Em, you have seen how pissed I was after I took McGruder (we did RD1 before Selection Sunday) and he got paired up with LaSalle/Boise. I stated I got fucked cause he would only play in 1 game. No excuse here lol.

I think UM will be fine, they averaged the fewest turnovers per game in D1 play this year( I know VCU forced the most). And Burke is damn near a 1 man press break lol. I could be wrong, but thats how I see it happening.Could be very wrong though, should be a hell of a game

Lol I was just playing around. I believe you.

But yeah, Bruce Weber is a joke and I will now add him to my "should be fired" list.

Does LeVert ever do anything well? I'm pretty sure I've never seen him make a shot.

Yeah, VCU's havoc is a big fail against a PG the caliber of Burke. He's destroying them.

Vcu just can't make a shot. They're not playing bad, just not knocking em down.

Mcgary seems like the player you'd love on your team but everyone else hates him. I certainly hate him haha

Hmm I'd say give it another week then I'd probably be worried haha. Also another bet I took today was Harvard +10.5

But yeah VCU just can not hit shots. Troy Daniels I need you!

I was not surprised at all to hear that he used to deliver newspapers on a unicycle.

This is very surprising to me. I didn't expect VCU to win, but I thought it would be a close game. Michigan showing why they were an early season favorite to win.

Why is every game on tonight from 7 to 8 o'clock? At least all the good ones. CBS is fucking stupid. Showing Michigan-VCU and Michigan State-Memphis as stand alone games is so stupid. Personally, I think the better option would have been starting all the games at noon.
