Congrats to Richmond and Chris Mooney. Happy for them!  Now we will see 2 A-10 teams dancing.

Very happy for Richmond for many reasons. But the main two are: 1. A-10 gets two teams in the tournament for me to root for during the madness. 2. Four graduate students that played their entire career at Richmond (5 years) get to go dancing. It shows they really liked playing for the coach and the school.

I read that Dayton was the last team out; if that was true, then you would surmise that if Davidson won yesterday, Dayton would have replaced Richmond in the field.  I thought Davidson showed some cracks in their invincibility yesterday, mainly a lack of toughness and will to put it all on the line to win.  It certainly puts doubt in my mind as to how they will fare in the NCAA against Michigan State.  This isn't a great MSU team by any means, but I'm sure Izzo will notice that Davidson kind of cracked down the stretch yesterday and he will try and turn up the toughness meter against the Wildcats.  I don't know if Davidson defends well enough to exploit MSU's offensive weakness which is turnovers.  MSU doesn't have the talented "bigs" that they have had in recent years, so I think they will try and drive the gaps hard and force Davidson to stop the penetration.  They do shoot the ball from distance a bit better than some MSU teams; so driving and kicking could also work.  I think MSU will really extend the defense on Davidson and try and rattle their guards, and their shooters.  Davidson may be forced to go inside to their big guy and see if he can score in the paint or kick out.
