NCAA Bid

The a10 could get three bids if dayton wins the a10 tourney

xavier: lock

umass: 1 win and there a lock

dayton: needs to get to the finals for serious consideration

UMass should have the nod over Syracuse but then again you know how biased this committee can be.

Unlike last year I hope this UMass team can win 2 games to reserve a bid to the dance.

Unfortunately, two wins may not gaurantee a bid either.....Xavier is dancing no matter what happens (now they are just working on their seeding). UMass and Dayton should be in as well, but if St. Joes, Temple, URI, or Charlotte, goes deep and/or wins UMass and Dayton are in serious trouble. 

As for the A-10/UMass hater who doubts the A-10 can get more than two bids, I gaurantee you that they get three....X is a lock and the other two will come from a pool of (UMass, URI, Dayton, Temple, St. Joe's, or Charlotte....the pool expands if Duquesne or Richmond go on a serious run).  The A10 is the number seven confernece in the country and the best non-BCS conference, which usually means 3+ bids.  Learn your college basketball my friend.....I see that you are a BU fan....I'm sorry but the A10 is a much stronger confernece than America East....Also, why do you feel such anger and hatred towards UMass and the A10 WollieMan?

Go UMass!!!!

One win was going to be our ticket to the dance. No doubt.

Now one just gets us in the discussion. Two punches our ticket.

Go Umass!

Hands down, three teams from the A-10 will get in.  Why do you all fear the BCS schools regarding at large bids (besides the obvious bias)?  The only way that BCS supremacy becomes an issue for the A-10 is if a team like Providence wins the Big-East tournament or something similar happens in another one of the BCS tournaments.  Many of the BCS teams have had their tickets to the dance punched for a while, plus many BCS bubble teams like Syracuse, Florida, Maryland, VT, Minnesota, et-cetera are near pop-point.  I agree that the 2 or 3 upsets in the small conferences make things a little tight, but that happens every year not to mention that it may throw some of those teams onto the bubble.  Barring a catastrophe UMASS and Dayotn will be at the NCAAs with St. Joe's and Temple in the mix as well (waitng for UMass and/or Dayton to slip up).....Am I saying the A10 will get more than three bis? No, but I'm saying they will(SHOULD) get at least three bids and they will be well deserved. 

This isn't the A-10 of the past few years folks, this confernce is strong almost like it was in it's prime (1990s).....Give it some respect!!!!

GO UMASS!!!!!

GO A10!!!
