#2 seed in DC with Regional in Detroit...that would be a dream bracket.

UMass and URI both in as 11 seeds.

SJU and UD in the "last four out" group.

Fun to read, good to see the red arrow pointing up, but how can we possibly be a second seed.

I'm going by memory now, but after the ASU loss I was told on MM by Mr Neutral (?) that we were going to be a "bubble team" come selection Sunday.

Can't see us going from bubble to #2, as much as I would like to see it.

In order for us to actually get a 2 seed, I believe we will have to win out, including the A-10 tourney. In order for us to get a 3 seed, I think we can only lose 1, possibly 2 games. Our remaining 2 away games will reveal a lot about where we are seeded.

That's because we had that big win over Chicago Circle, Wise. And the committee will be taking our '05 NIT bid into account as well!

Note to Wise and Mr. Neutral- this constant bantering back and forth is getting a little old. Save it for the UD fans.

Further note to Wise: We are all aware that Mr. Neutral is not exactly Mr. Optimist. I think he even admits it. On a side note, I do like reading your stories from "back in the day".

Carry on.

Despite their still respectable RPI, I'm a little surprised that Lunardi is still giving UD strong consideration in light of their complete collapse. They are 3-7 in their last 10 games, with losses to LaSalle, GW and Richmond.

I've never met Mr. Neutral or the inaptly-named Wisexuowl (or, for that matter, any of Mr. Neutral's other detractors on this site) but, from having read Wise's--and the others'--countless rancid and impertinent comments about, as well as the unprovoked (and always irrelevant) attacks on him, I wonder about the basis for such animus. Whatever the reason (jealousy?), it is unbecoming, childish (as in second childhood) and--yes--embarrassing and tiresome. Or does "Wise" feel that he has a good reason?

When I look at the brackets, besides the #1 seeds, I honestly look at the rest of the field and know that we can play and beat any of them!
