I have to say that these mid-major and lower conferences sure are exciting in the sense that basically any team can win as there is a level playing field. The madness of March is alive, but perhaps only in the non-P5 conference tournaments. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see an upset in the A10 either. Granted it isn’t coming from a pillow fight team.
 
But, but,but,but ,what ‘bout the regatta flag ship UR Mediocrity? The stability, the longevity, the competitiveness? Oh that’s right, captained by the losingingest.

Well, we get to watch the rest of the season from the sidelines, with the last of the conference tournaments this week and then heading into the real postseason. Maybe next season we'll get another taste of something like that. Or maybe not.

3/11

A-10
- Bona 99, La Salle 80 (A-10 1st Round)
 
A day after knocking out the Spiders, Loyola took Davidson to OT but came up short. And on the OOC side, Charlotte advanced in the American tournament with a win over Tulane.

3/12

Non-conference (1–0)
- Charlotte 74, Tulane 60 (American 2nd Round)

A-10 2nd Round
- GW 66. Fordham 62
- Bona 63, Mason 57
- Duquesne 67, Rhody 61
- Davidson 64, Loyola 59 (OT)

And in other opponent news, K-State has zeroed in on Belmont's Casey Alexander to be their next coach.

just turned on the last A10 tourney game of the day. Friday night prime time...and a million empty seats in the arena. Also I had to go wtf through youtubetv listings to find the game which is on that high-profile sports network CNBC.

Richmond taking its cues from the A10 on how to run out a mediocre product and call it good enough.
 
VCU held off Duquesne, which got within two in the final minute but couldn't pull off the upset. St. Joe's pounded Davidson in the second half to cruise to victory (7–0 Davidson run over the final two minutes made the final score look closer than it really was), SLU came back with a big second half to survive GW, and Dayton sent Bona and Schmidt home.

The only OOC impact game involved Charlotte, which is moving on in the American tourney.

3/13

Non-conference (1–0)
- Charlotte 83, UAB 78 (American Quarters)

A-10 Quarters
- SLU 88, GW 81
- Dayton 68, Bona 63
- VCU 71, Duquesne 66
- St. Joe's 70, Davidson 58
 
VCU seems in as of now. I think they're still in if they make it to the final and lose, especially if it's to SLU. Much shakier if they lose to St. Joe's tomorrow in the semis, but I don't think even a loss there (unless it's a blowout) necessarily knocks them out. (I'd put the odds at less than 50% if they lose tomorrow, but not down at long shot level.)
