I was thinking the same thing. A URI, UMass or SJU could easily have fit into these pairings.

Why? Bracket buster has mid-major written all over it. I think it was probably thought up by some Big 6 guy. Have some of the mids beat each other out of some bids, but sell it as a big opportunity. We don't need or want to be associate d with the mid major tag, and we don't need the exposure, we're on tv all the time, mostly on channels available nationwide. Bracket buster---no thanks. As for the MVC, they had a few years of good fortune, but at the end of the day they are a bunch of cow colleges in middle of no where towns.

guys, this is the imposter. I don't think a team that is currently a 3-5 seed has any need for such an event. wannabe just stirring the pot.

stop, I don't know if "PM" was necessarily talking about X, but possibly some of the other A-10 NCAA possibles.

<<we don't need the exposure, we're on tv all the time, mostly on channels available nationwide.>>

Want to know how often the A-10 is on here in Chicago? Not very. And if it's good enough for Butler and Drake, it's sure as hell good enough for URI, SJU, UMass and maybe even Temple.

I think it would be good for schools like UC, Fordham, Rutgers, Providence, LaSalle, St. Johns, S. Fla., St. Bonny...schools that have no postseason aspirations this year.

PMThor is not our PMThor but Bearchatter that is why he includes X in a bracket buster with Drake.


PMThor when the real PMthor contacts me you will be gone.
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

why no A-10 teams in the bracket buster???

Would have loved for my Muskies to take on Drake or another Missouri Valley school. The A-10 and MVC should pair up....


This is a pathetic UC fan.

Call me crazy, but I think that kind of defeats the whole Bracket Buster concept.

Thanks muskieman, I almost said that this had to be a troll, but then looked at the name and decided to bite my tounge and just point out a weakness in his argument.
