Critical Day

Tomorrow is a critical day for VCU fans...There's a lot of teams who can get their NIT tickets punched. Villanova, Dayton, UMass, Arizona State and Oregon are all underdogs in their games and could be sent back to the bubble/NIT with a loss. I'm not even that convinced West Virginia is definitely in either. To me, their resume is thoroughly unimpressive. I really think that this will be the season the mid-major fights back.

Chances VCU gets in: 40% (There are way too many sites that have them last four out for them to not be hanging around.)

Before any of you kick the bucket...you must go to the Palestra.

Field of 65 Update....

Well i'm 1 for 1....granted most of you would have gotten this one too because Cornell had an overwhelming lead but I'm tied for 1st.

Conference tournaments begin this week and while most of you won't be watching the MEAC or Atlantic Sun, i'll be excited to see how those play out. The more results that come in, the more that VCU's resume looks good if they need to go the at-large route. Maryland, Syracuse, Houston, Southern Illinois all with bad losses over the weekend. Still need to have conferences like the MAC and West Coast hold serve though.

Maryland moves to the last 4 out....shame is that since they are in the almighty ACC, their chances only took a modest hit. Granted they are out right now.
