Didn't we play Mt St Marys like in the last couple of years?

In closed scrimmages I believe.....I think CSM referred to them in his weekly presser and the respect he has for them.

Mount Saint Mary's was our season opener 2 years ago at home.

USC had a nice start but the wheels are falling off early. Friars currently on a 15-0 run.

Nice win for the conference. USC already beat SMU earlier this year. Hopefully by the end of the week the conference is 9-0

Good for SC. The Pac isn't getting a lot of respect, so these things help carrying into next year.

I'm talking more about next year. The big time Pac schools usually get respect, but we could use an image as a stronger top to bottom conference. This year people yawned when we beat SC, and it would be nice if those wins meant more next year.

Good point. Maybe we can get a mod to merge them and rename it.

Every year it's kinda funny to watch these 12-15 seeds and just see a couple of them every year come out just bombing threes (like going six for eight on their first eight attempts) and see how the better team responds (if they respond at all).

I did too, but I had plenty of reasons. #1 being that I did not like how Virginia has been playing lately.

Gonzaga is going to win this game against SDS, but I think what you're seeing early on is why you generally want the Zags as your #1 seed.

I'm watching these games and saying, "Foul! Oh, wait this isn't the PAC-12."

I hope Arizona's players don't have to go through that adjustment.

Vegas had MTSU as a 1 1/2 point favorite. Not really an upset if you ask me.

If they hold, I nailed the first upset of the tourney. My dislike of the Pitinos finally may pay off.

Although games have been close still all chalk at this point (not counting MTS as everyone was picking them).

After every conference call today I ended it with a 'Bear Down" instead of goodbye. Everyone in India and the Netherlands were saying "huh"? :lol:

That Vandy dude is a straight up Jamelle Horne level bonehead.

And what was up with that last shot? Vandy deserves to lose.

The 3pt chucking by Princeton and Vandy has been the worst, both could've won if they went to the basket. Instead of taking 30 footers.

Ten minutes into VCU/St Mary's, I'm not really seeing anything size wise, strength wise or quickness wise that would lead me to believe either of these teams could hang with Arizona over 40 minutes.

It would be rough to be a VCU fan today. You can see everything they do wrong in slow motion, and know how it plays out two seconds before guy on the court does.
