Totally agree Chris and Marty.

And Marty, Schmidt might be able to ride a win over Saint Louis tomorrow right into the Boston College job. Crazier things have happened. I think he's a very good coach, but I'd much prefer him on the Heights than Bruce Pearl.

Geez - Dayton putting on a clinic against Fordham right now about to surpass 50 pts in the first half. Fordham probably didn't have the ability to beat them even without having played George Mason yesterday.

^ Not the game that I am watching right now. 19 lead is down to 7 with 14 to play.

Dayton might want to win this...

Fordham did what they could to get back into the game then took some of the most idiotic shots I've seen all year and refused to play defense.

That would be coaching, wouldn't it?

did dayton just punch their ticket?

Yep, and Miller straight up outcoached Pecora the last 8 minutes of the second half.

Pecora, while a great recruiter, is one woeful game coach.

I don't know, probably not. I think all they did was avoid a bad loss since Fordham is outside of the top 200 in the RPI. If they win their next one (vs. St. Joes ?) then they would get my completely meaningless vote.

VCU has taken over Brooklyn.. In the early game, more VCU fans then any other school... And they aren't even playing today.. Very impressive

Anyone else thinking that the Dayton-Saint Joe's game could potentially be a play-in game if other bubble teams from power conference get to their Semi's and Championship Game?

I do think both teams deserve to be in the tournament, but they are both so close to being on the wrong side of the bubble I am left wondering what a loss will mean for either team.

dance card has both st joe's and dayton with 100% probability of dancing, with dayton ahead of st joe's, and they have a history of being correct. we'll see though.

They should be in, and most likely will be in. Don't know how you can call it 100% though. I kind of agree with Cam

It's a 100% chance if the selection happened today. Dayton is easily in, though.
