East Region:
GW is a 9 seed- playing Memphis
St. Joe's (of PA) is a 10 seed- playing UConn (I have to root for UConn? Ugh)
So two 5's, a 6, a 9, a 10 and an 11 for the A-10.
Nova is the 2 in that region, FYI. So if the JOey's win, they could be looking at Villanova-St. Joe's in the 2nd Round. That would be pretty incredible.

Wow, a lot of interesting stuff for the A-10 between play-in games, seeding, opponents, etc.
And that Joe's-'nova possibility is pretty cool, although I can't believe I have to root for damned UConn.

Man the bubble was weak this year. The snubs weren't exactly jumping off the screen.

Joe's seed proves they needed to win that Dayton game, and probably weren't even in before yesterday's win.

Not sure it will happen, but I'm really pulling for the Hawks to win their game with UConn, just to see them play Nova in the tournament.

I want UMass to beat Duke in the second game so Krzyzewski can shove it.

Guess the committee heard Coach K's bitching. NC State (19-13) squeaks in.
Hope he enjoys UMass giving them hell in Round 3.

We'll find out later tonight, but my guess is Richmond goes NIT and St. Bonaventure plays in the CBI to make it 8 A-10 teams in some kind of tournament.

Selection committee also making Wichita State earn it in 3rd round.. Kansas State (in-state match the media would eat up, being played in Missouri) or Kentucky (they are an 8 how???)

No question Coach K whining helped NC st. Root for the A 10 in ALL GAMES. We may be on the bubble again soon and we need our conference to continue to raise its reputation. Really want St Louis to crush NC St.!!!!

Agreed, however a Big East vs American 12 rivalry is also good for TV. So whichever way it goes in the Huskies/Hawks game, the ratings for the third round game will be good as long as Villanova advances. By the way, I'm rooting for St Joe's over UConn, for the sake of the A10 I think we have to see them continue to do well.

I'll be rooting for A10 all the way, minus Joeys. I just can't bring myself to do it. I'll admit, I'm jealous.

Getting a 10 seed after winning the conference tourney in a league with 5 at-large bids tells the tale. The farce non-call on Galloway's blatant pushoff got Overbrook in. Would've been a nice consolation for the Explo season to knock them out but the zebras decided otherwise.

I'm watching the NIT show right now because I don't have a girlfriend, so I'll let you all know what A-10 teams get in, but most likely just Richmond.

Minnesota, Florida State, St. John's, and SMU are your 1 seeds in the NIT so there's your official "First Four Out."

SMU's OOC SOS absolutely killed them. And those damn Gophers, man... They always seem to get some real eye-opening wins but always seem to take their fans on a roller coaster ride from hell that's been ending in at the NIT lately.

I was wrong, no Richmond in NIT. No A-10 teams in the NIT. Wonder when the last time happened was?
Of course, getting 6 teams in the NCAA kind of makes this not mean anything at all.

Undecided as to whether I want the Hawks to win.
I want UMass to win, but I'm in SEC country so there's a lot of Tennessee fans here, which will make for a fun time. They're rabid.

The only possible scenario where I root for Villanova will play out in a chalk 1st round. Unreal.
