Sorry, mm, I posted the same link twice. Palm's bracket is a subscription-only link, anyway, so take my word for the pairings.

You graduated summa cum laude, I suspect. What if they play like they did against KSU or Virginia?
Well, if they play well, like they did against KSU or Virginia, then they would probably win. My comment was obviously referring to the St. Joe's game performance if you read it. They did not play well, and just may get beat in game one by a hungry 13 or 14 seed if they miss 13 out of 14 three's.

And actually I graduated cum laude with a 3.65 gpa.

Well, my sophomore year, my roommate and I combined for well over a 6 gpa; of course, he had 4 of it.

WOW, 3.65 nice numbers, I guess you are rara avis on this board, then again you could just be a rodomontade. I guess you missed my point. Sure if any team Memphis, Tenn, UNC, Kansas, Texas, Butler, Duke, Wisc., shoots 14 threes and makes one, is 34% from the field while the other team is shooting 44% they are not going to have the most opportune chance to beat a 13-14-what the heck any seed. The shooting was abysmal, atrocious, abominable and any other a word but why would you think that these players that have been assiduous in their work on and off the court and have shown a great pride in their work product by the wins they have had this year will all of a sudden give up and have a repeat performance. If it does happen it just could be that the other team is more talented. St Joes as bad as they looked in one game or another this season is still one of the most talented teams in the A-10 player for player.
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.

rivals.com has some interesting stuff. They have us as #10 on the S-curve as the second 3 seed. They seem to think we are a lock for a 3. If you look at almost any bracket, it seems like there is no one else behind us that would jump us. Everyone who could of had a chance lost, some to awful teams. I'm glad to see Temple get some credit. I think they need the auto-bid a little bit more then St. Joe's.

I love it when I am right...it is so rare. Duke shoots 6-26 minutes after I make this statement and they lose to a team they have beaten 100 out 122 games. I wonder if Duke comes out an plays like that next weekend!

What are the chances that the A-10 still gets 4 bids? Xavier and Temple are in and St.Joe's is most likely in. What are the chances the UMass can sneak in with all of the upsets this week?

It would be sweet. It would also tell everyone that the old east division still have a lot of the tougher programs.

Vandy can't win away from that funky arena. And ask MOR about AZ's coach.
