See for Yourself
A-10's St. Josephs and Big 12's Nebraska know that Hofstra is for real.
MAAC's Manhattan and Big 12's Colorado know that ODU is for real.
They will play each other for the 3rd time tomorrow night at 7:00 on ESPN2 in NYC. (Not at The Garden but at Hofstra arena.)
Hofstra took the matchup in Norfolk easily and won the game in NYC on a buzzer beating 3. ODU is looking for revenge but Hofstra is still holding onto the 2nd longest home winning streak in the nation. This is turning into the biggest matchup for ODU besides VCU, and maybe GMU. So even though the bracket's are terrible making ODU and Hofstra meet in the round of 8 instead of the semi's or the championship, at least 1 will go. And we have a postseason matchup on national television between 2 conference opponents. Are you watching nation?
ACC's North Carolina and Big 10's Michigan State know that Mason is for real. They get a rematch with Witchita State in the Sweet 16. This time the game is on a "neutral" court in DC. All I know is that DC is a lot closer to Fairfax than it is to Witchita. At least 1 midmajor team will be in the Elite 8. Too bad they are meeting now, it would be interesting to have a shot at 3. Bradley plays Memphis so it could still be 2.
GMU's win helps UNCW. UNC winning would not have. Get that into your heads everybody. UNC would just have had another accomplishment to hang over our heads by winning. We are already deep enough under their shadow. GMU's wins help the CAA as whole. Credibilty, national exposure and $$$$$$$$$. UNCW gets a share of that money, this is a revenue sharing conference. Everyone gets a slice of the big payday that comes with getting to the tourney and the bigger one that comes with advancing. The conference is still getting a boost from our win over USC back in 2002. Mason has 2 wins this year plus we had 2 teams with bids. And we have the knowledge that we had GWU. We are better than Mason. We split regular season, they lost in the conference semi's after a poor quarterfinals showing. They had the marquee win, Hofstra and UNCW did not. Both teams needed the auto bid in the committee's eyes. UNCW dominated through every round and Hofstra beat Mason for the 2nd time in 10 days. Mason was the 3rd best team in this conference and they have proven themselves as one of the best 16 teams in the nation. If they win they will be one of the best 8 teams in the nation. Just remember we are better then them. They got the breaks in the tourney but we are better. They just got better results. We are better and they are on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
Patriots vs. Shockers RD. 2 Friday night let's say 7:30ish.
