Just filled out my bracket. Coached my son's bball team this year...lets just say it was like having a second full time job. Watched very little college hoops this year. So maybe I actually have a chance of winning because in year's past, the more I watched, the worse I picked. After looking at my finished bracket, its pretty obvious I was an A10 homer. If the A10 can show well, I may have a good chance of winning. If not, I'm done early.

Have SLU losing in the Elite 8.
Have LaSalle in the Sweet 16.
Have Temple beating NC State...this was a law of averages thing since they've shown so poorly in the tourney recently.
Have VCU losing in the Elite 8.
Have Butler losing to Bucknell. No disrespect to Butler...but they have to lay a stinker at some point, no?

I'll likely go down in a blaze of glory....but here's to a solid A10 showing starting tomorrow.

LaSalle delivers a Unit!

And we'll be gone by June 30 - or I guess we're gone as of today.

Good for LaSalle though.

Yeah, good for LaSalle. Very A10 of them to finally pay something back when we can't collect, or at least I don't think we do.

I actually want all the A10 teams to win along with our new partners.

I was saying "Boo-lar". Wait, no, I was just saying "Boo".

Bhullar has 4 point, 10 boards and 3 blocks currently against St. Louis. I'm not watching the game, but someone is getting eaten alive by Dwyane Evans -- 24 pts on 11/16 from the floor.

The A-10 is kicking ass and taking names so far. Hope Temple can finish off NC State and LaSuck can turn all the purpole here in Wichita blue this afternoon.

The A-10 has been the most dominant of any conference really. Kind of sad the conference is exploding on such a high note.

If LaSalle hangs on; the A10 will have as many non-XU NCAA wins this week as they've had in the 8 prior years.

Could it be we ran to the Big East because the A10 was getting too hard ?

Yeah, we were skeered.

Yes. Yes, I am sure that is the reason.

Outside the fact that Xavier is not in the tourney, this has been great TV watching. I'm rooting for the A10 teams and the teams that will be in the BE next year.

Now is the perfect time for Shaka to bolt to UCLA.

Saint Louis is getting thumped by Oregon. Butler is leading Marquette at the half.

Yeah, my bracket is toast. Looked like a genius after the first round (2nd round?), but back to reality with VCU and SLU today. Guess the only thing I can hang my hat on is if Wich St. and LaSalle can win, I might be one of very few people who had WSU/LaSalle as a Sweet 16 matchup.

Really disappointed in St. Louis & VCU - horrible showings. Who'd of thought LaSalle would carrying the A10 banner going into Sunday?

So glad to see Gonzaga choke. Didn't deserve a one seed. I still hate them because of Adam Morrison - trash-talking sore loser.

Good for LaSalle. It would be a riot to see LaSalle start to dominate the A10 in the next few years.

Yesterday was the first time I've watched Oregon. It seems like they are playing way above their seeding. St. Louis ran into a team peaking at just the right Time. I think a lot of teams in this tournament would have lost to Oregon yesterday.

I asked elsewhere about this -- I think they spent a good chunk of the season missing their PG to injury, who is apparently back now.

Wouldn't it though?

All of a sudden your flagship program plays in a garage in the middle of a ghetto. I can see Jim Nance and Clark Kellogg beating a path to North 20th and Olney Avenue. Yep.
