Greatest time in sports approaching....

Folks, the sports world is just getting ready to heat up with the approach of conference tournaments and the upcoming baseball season. For most of you, baseball season is filled with promise. Only about 15-20 fanbases have playoff dreams...i unfortunately am not involved with one of them...

We move on though...VCU is in the hunt for one of those coveted 65 spots for the postseason. In this space, we will chronicle their chances and other teams who could stand in their way.

Last nite while most of you were asleep, two teams went at it that could joust with the Rams for an at-large bid. St. Mary's and Gonzaga played in werehouse like conditions as I don't believe the Gaels paid their light bills. Seriously, both of these teams deserve bids and both will cause havoc for the teams they are unfortunately paired off with. Gonzaga, year after year, brings forth young and exciting teams and has played a tough schedule. Despite losing last night, they are still in a good position for a bid. So is St. Mary's who beat both Seton Hall and Oregon this year. Get to know Patrick Mills and Omar Samhan. These two teams are for real and will represent the mid majors well.
