Xavier is prohibitive favorite...
URI and Dayton - Both teams had high expectations, played very well until hitting big bumps in the road...can they come back in the tourney?
UMass - was pre-season pick for 8th...has done better with an inexperienced, but talented team...can they hold on in the tourney?
Temple - Always dangerous...but not on any "experts" radar for an NCAA tourney bid because of lack of OOC RPI strength

Might make the NIT because of the RPI...but the Big Dance is out IMHO

Crap, that really pisses me off.....they can beat the big guys...but whn it comes to the games they should win,......
The Big Dance is now very doubtful in my minds, despite the excellent RPI...
Looks like the NIT for a second year in a row.....
