Usually I'm pulling like crazy for our felloow A10 schools to do well in the tournament, but this year...meh. I was thinking along the same lines. The teams that make the Tourney are leaving and we'll be a two bid league in a couple of years. Dukes played a hard schedule with little returning players and 4 freshman in best A-10 ever was. SLU may not be gone. The C7 is so arrogant, they may stop at 10. LaSalle is a positive though. Most of their team is back too. The league will be very strong next year. In 9 or 10 years, we should be dancing. Because as Florida Gulf Coast has proven, building a sustainable winning program that is capable of knocking off an established program takes decades. Lasalle s coach G I believed was going to be fired especially after his star recruit & cancer Eric Murray left for WVU. Wins against K-State which in essence was in their backyard. Good for coach G his family university & kudos to their AD for sticking & supporting him throughout the tuff times. Go Lasalle vs Marshall mania in tourney much respect for Explorer nation done with class.

Go Lasalle vs Marshall mania in tourney much respect for Explorer nation done with class. Dr. G was never going to be fired. That was just stupid fans calling for his head. The AD knew there was still plenty of talent on hand after Murray left, unlike here where the cupboard was bare after the transfers.

Anyone else unenthusiastic about NCAA Tournament.......
The A10 has done exceeding;y well so far, but with this caveaut......Temple wins, gone next year. St Louis wins, gone next year. One year member, Butler, wins....gone next year. So even taking pride in the accomplishments of the conference is feeling kind of an empty pride this time around.

SLU
LaSalle
VCU
All of the above should dance.
SJ
UMass
Those 2 have a chance to dance
UR
GW
Longshots
That is a solid league. The worst case scenario would be if they took VCU, and SLU.
