Shouldn't this kid be mentioned in the "Possible Coaching Scenarios" thread?

I told my wife that while we were watching the game

Who would imagine UDayton and St. Louis being the teams to advance?

I've got St Joe's, St Louis, UMass winning their first game, the others I have losing. I don't have any A10 teams in the Sweet 16, but I think St Joe's has the best shot. I think they can take down Villanova but I don't see them getting further.

I had St. Joes beating Villanova as well. Thought they were a very solid team, and selfishly I wanted to keep watching Kanecevic. Love watching him play.

Though I could do without all of the over the top jocking of individual players by broadcast teams, it was almost "Craft-like" with the superlatives laid on HK every time he touched the ball. ugh.

With KU now out of the tournament, Dayton looks to have a real shot at Elite Eight. Not that Stanford (a #10 seed) will be a push over, but their reputation isn't as intimidating as Kansas.

Dayton is an 11 seed. Plays against GMU and vcu. Seeing those Final Four banners, and being an 11 seed, will take them to the Final Four in Dallas.

I have Dayton going to the Elite Eight as well, something about their play impressed me.

People are acting surprised, but I bet it is those same people that follow one or two schools and that's it. I look for the little games on various networks throughout the season, in addition to championship week.

UMass was in the tourney, so I'll post this here that their football team is leaving the MAC: http://www.cbssports.com/collegefoo...ootball-program-leaving-mac-after-2015-season
Rumors have been that they've wanted full sports membership in the American. The American wants the Boston TV market, but will UConn vote keep them out. Interesting to see how this plays out.

They have two years to figure it out. AAC or bust?

While it's good to have 6 teams in the tournament and that Dayton has made it to the sweet 16, the a-10 record so far, isn't much to brag about when compared to other conferences:

Maybe the reason: lots of good teams, but not much in terms of VERY good teams?

The parity in this tournament has been unreal. Everyone should have just been an 8 seed.

GW and vcu should have won their games, which would have given us two more teams.

UMASS had NO BUSINESS being a 6th seed. I have no idea how that happened.

Tennessee has been given three gifts but they are playing well too. First, they play Iowa in the PIG and Iowa's coach is distracted because his son is having surgery. Second, they play UMass; enough said. And then, they get 14 seed Mercer who plays without a key player due to a concussion suffered in the Duke game. We will see how legit they are against Michigan tomorrow.

And yet, the ACC and A10 have the same amount of teams in the sweet 16: one

In terms of conference RPI we were statistical almost identical. So that makes sense. If Mason wasn't so bad this year, the A10 might have jumped the ACC

Dayton with 16 assists and only 4 TO's w/ 8 minutes left. Taking notes Hewitt? Meh - you're a lost cause. TOC? You're retiring. Cabrera? We need an AD that will get us a coach that will have us playing like Dayton. We're the opposite - 4 assist, 16 TO team at this point. Sad. Somebody make it better!

Miller was asked about his team's work ethic. He said, "more important is their sense of team and togerthness." The guys in the studio said, "Dayton gives up good shots to get the best shot.'

Hellooooooooooo?! Anyone at Mason listening??? This is college basketball, not the damn D League.

If I might make a slight correction ...

That would be 16 TO to 4 assists at the 8 minute mark of the game. It's a complete flip flop.

Some of you guys need to relax. TOC just announced his retirement, there will be no movement on the coach right now.
