agree or disagree? i know xavier had a 14 seed and lost to gonzaga, who was awarded yet another home game...but for the A 10, GW going 26-1 heading into the conference tourney before mensah bonsu was injured and they were upset by temple...they were snubbed with an 8 seed and were partially rewarded/made up for it by getting an 11 the next year when they deserved a 13...even though that didn't work out, they would have been much better playing maryland as a 4 that year than vandy as a 6, and got demolished...the small conference feel...me being a northern virginia-er...george mason going to the final 4...teams from the MVC making it...that year was the year i became hooked to the NCAA tournament and all of the A 10 representatives from it each year...and i remember when i was about 10 years old watching xavier beating duke in 2004 up 3 or something with 2 minutes left, then suffering the heartbreaking loss in the elite 8...btw i dont think he was on that team, but trajan langdon is my neighbor...i am a xavier fan, but mostly an A 10 fan, even though xavier is my favorite team because they are the A 10's best team...i was so upset how the A 10 was going to get 5 or 6 bids...and now they will only get 3 assuming all of its best teams play their best heading into the tournament...which is what a i want...but remember, florida winning the tournament in 2006 surprisingly with a 3 seed? temple may get a 3 seed...what thinks you...xavier had it in 2008 i remember thinking they were gonna get a 4 after losing to st bonaventure...every year those teams from the A 10 that get in at large have this crap team from their conference they can never beat and ends up hurting their seeding...what do you think?

If this was the year that every elite 8 game was incredible I would say yes.

Dear Squidward,
Have I done something wrong? We never get together anymore and I'm so lonely. Please tell me what I can do to win you back.
Sincerely,

If Salt Lake is a home game for Gonzaga, does that mean Miami is a home game for Xavier?
