Vecenie really liked him.
On the MWC, it seems like it’s a loss for teams on the bubble. NM is in. Boise St is maybe NOW in, and CSU could be the bid thief. Bad news for UNC and Indiana and Texas and maybe maybe (double maybe) VCU. We shall see… Or maybe the bracket was done yesterday at 4pm and the committee has all gone home and isn’t paying attention anymore. 
I am reupping my suggestion that the committee should just sort their spreadsheet by WAB and spend the extra time golfing. The bracketing/matchup rules should be computer programmable because they are pretty clear.
Trim D-1 to 100 teams. Third-party scheduler. Then just go by Wins/losses.
Edit - I’ve changed my mind since I wrote this a few seconds ago.
Princeton plays Yale at 11am today in the Ivy semis. Any chance Mitch Henderson goes on a run and gets further than any of our candidates? That would be funny…
Eamonn moved VCU to “Should be in” but also has UC San Diego as “work to do”.
Seems to me that there’s still a lot of scenarios if all of VCU, Boise State, and UC-SD don’t win their conference tourneys. Apparently, there are more mid-major reps on the committee this year.
VCU (25-6, 15-3; NET: 32, SOR: 49): The Rams, as is their wont, cruised past a solid but overmatched A10 foe Friday — in this case St. Bonaventure, whose defensive system tends to encourage opponents to launch as many 3s as they like. VCU obliged, though it shot just 9-of-32 from deep. It still won going away. We’ve bumped the Rams up to should be in, because we don’t think they’re in the genuine bubble mix, but let’s see how things go against Loyola Chicago tomorrow (and elsewhere on the bubble) before we consider the possibility of a lock.
UC Irvine and UCSD should be a really good game tonight
Heck, I even heard one of the 3-man weavers make an at large case for Irvine
UCSD and Irvine should both be in… should but not will
I think they (Irvine) either have the record or can set the record for wins away from home
Conference tournament week is fantastic, especially the weekend. This is going to be a great day.
Hell yeah Rick
Mitch and Princeton making their move. Down 2 to Yale at Brown’s Pizzitola Arena, which sounds delicious.
Now 4 secs left. P ball. Down 2. ESPNU
Xaivian misses a janky 3 at the buzzer
Also two bad plays by “smart” teams. Princeton lets clock run down not fouling and Yale being smarter takes the shot clock violation!
HAte what Fears (MSU) did there. Tried to draw the foul rather than get the shot. Glad the refs didn’t fall for it. Wiscy to Big Ten final
Also, I hate flipping around to these end game scenarios and 2/3 of the time it’s refs belaboring out of bounds calls. Just stop. Enough. I’m going to hire @AnonymooseHoo and try to convince a Federal court judge it’s an antitrust violation
Omfg norfolk st game. Norfolk st choked an 8pt lead in the final minute but then south carolina st guy fouled cause he didnt realize they were tied
Its all fun n games til someone gets poked in the eye though
That was nuts.
