All I want to do is see G make his first A-10 Tourney semi. Good for an NIT bid and something more is gravy.
After making an NCAA regional semi last season, an A-10 semi should be a piece of cake...

Watching a little of the opening round game. Fordham is up 2 with just under 8 to go.

I'd like George Mason to win. Think they're a gritty team.

Mason just hit a 3 to stay alive down 6. 62-59, Fordham. About 1:05 to go, Fordham ball.

Fordham hits their FT's down the stretch. They also kept fouling up 3 in the last few seconds. Good strategy, but made it real tough to watch.
Fordham win 70-67. Plays Dayton tomorrow.

Good strategy, but made it real tough to watch. Glad I missed it. Always torn on this approach.

The last play they undertook was very neat and Mason got a shot off that would have tied the game, but didn't get the roll. Check the video below for a recap.

@jonrothstein: Potential bid-stealers to put on your radar: West Virginia, St. John's, La Salle, Maryland. Best time of the year.
He's got more faith than I but screw it, "LETS GO EXPLORERS!"

Gotta love that dude, he has more faith in this team than 75% of the board.

Probably not much interest in this now that we're out, but Dayton held off Fordham after they erased most of a 20 pint deficit, Richmond beat Duquesne pretty easily, and right now URI is up about 7 on UMass with like 10 minutes to play.
Quarterfinals (as of now): St. Bonaventure v. St. Louis Dayton v. St. Joe's Richmond v. VCU UMass/URI v. GW

Tomorrow I agree. I'm going Semi-Finals Saturday and am a little miffed that the early semi-finals game will most likely be 2 of the 3 teams in the A-10 I don't like playing each other, unless the Bonnies somehow win tomorrow.

Part of me wishes I hated more A-10 teams but I just don't. Its absolute rooting aside from a certain team (of Pennsylvania).

Dayton fans are annoying with their nonsense song and their silly little hats that the band wears. And I'm yet to go to an Atlantic 10 Tournament session where I don't end up seeing them play.

Rooting for VCU. They're the most entertaining team in college basketball. Their band is AWESOME, too.

Can smell the fear from Hawk Hill and bubble teams everywhere. Bid stealing in progress?

Even Lunardi has this as a must win for St. Joseph's of PA. And I'm 100% certain if they do lose, he'll stick with that and not find a way to sneak them into a play-in or something like that.
