On to the Dance...

are Cornell men's basketball and Princeton women's basketball.

They are the first teams to enter their respective field of 65. Both claimed their titles yesterday.

Winthrop Eagles punched their ticket for the 9th time yesterday also!

[youngterrier]

I was cheering for Winthrop too, that's my home town playing

[catamount man]

congrats to ETSU, former SoCon, back in the dance as well. Man, I miss ETSU in the SoCon.

[tampajag]

Mine too! I played for them back in the 80's....you know, when he ball was made out of stone and the rim was a peach basket!

Agreed.

How people see UNI as an 8 or 9 is just blind lack of respect for "mid majors". UNI is back in the ESPN top 25, 26 in the AP, and to 20 in the RPI.


28-4 and 12-2 against the RPI top 100

I think UNI is getting disrespected as a team, I am not sure its all the midmajors. I think UNI should be higher, but I think they will give a team like Siena a much higher seed.

ODU wins the CAA auto-bid

[dbackjon]

Siena takes the MAAC

[clenz]

UNI beat both of those teams soundly

Siena will not get a better seed than UNI.

UNI will be at least a 7 IMO. There is no way we get put in that 8/9 game with our resume.

btw, APP and Wofford are going at it right now. Wofford up 7 with a few minutes left to play. Would be their first bid ever.

So that was the loud bubble wrap sound I heard

Congrats to Wofford on their conference title, and first ever trip to the NCAAs.

Too bad for you App fans. T's & P's

Both ESPN and collegerpi had St. Mary's in before the win.

[dbackjon]

Congrats, Wofford!

I can't express in words my dislike of ODU.

I can't express in words my dislike of ODU.

But we should try!
Do you want to start a thread about it?
