Is that the firmer Dukes player Chad Baker still at Auburn?

WVU not in is tough to understand.  As much as UNC in is tough. 

Byu, 6 seed vs A10 11 seed.  Sound familiar?

 
Yes, that's the same former Duke, and he has been mentioned as a candidate for the NCAA national player of the year!

He’s a heck of a basketball player, but Chad still has many emotional issues especially for a 25 year old.

You are right. That was a comment I heard one of the announcers make leading up to the Auburn-TN game. But I think he was confusing it with the Julius Erving award for best small forward.

I'd love to see VCU make a deep run in the NCAAs, and with six A10 teams in the NIT, one of those to come out on top.

BYU seems overconfident again this year - some comments on their board about the inferior A10.

They should have learned their lesson from last year. VCU is really good, I think they beat BYU.

Regarding UNC vs WVU --  Despite ALL the protesting that the AD from UNC who is on the Committee "left the room for any discussion involving them"  A legislator from WVU is considering a lawsuit..  There is a posting making the rounds of the Internet that the UNC AD gets a $124,000 Bonus if they make the tournament..  They even posted a link to that clause.

NOT that I care for WVU -  still haven't forgiven them for the Huggins-BB Flenory incident

Despite what Dickie V says --  if the name North Carolina wasn't on the FRONT of the uniform..  NO WAY do they make it...  1-12 vs the top quad????

Dickie V has been paid millions over the years by ESPN by promoting their power conferences and progressively diminishing the A-10 especially. He should have been an advocate for mid majors coming from Detroit U, but he helped create this mess. Weird (profanity), but it's always been in their game plan. The three or four other Power 5 conferences saw right through it and ESPN realized that was a bigger market. The Oligarchs of college basketbal have taken overl. Remember when you fill out your March Madness bracket this year, the refs have been told who will win and there will be no upsets outside a Jerry Falwell Liberty team and maybe the "Christian nationalist" college in Lipscomb maybe. The mormons will get every call and VCU will be one and done. Just the state of the union these days. Yay

That’s Mike Bekelja’s Kent State to be exact;)

Both wins were  by teams that run in transition and really blew out St.B., and St.L.  Oddly, DU was the highest scoring team  in transition in the  A-10 this year?  All season, DU played better on the run than in slow pace half court. I was surprised to see 6 A-10 teams in the NIT.

Imagine thinking that uptempo is the only way to play basketball.

Well, imagine,  playing good defense without playing good offense is the only way to play BB too. KD did it all the time. I just watched two uptempo teams run over two A-10 teams, not the other way around.

In the NIT.

When you play teams capable of hitting 100 points in reg, but your game plan is so slow, you plan to score 60 points? imagine just how many games you plan to win on a regular basis. .
