ROFLMFAO.... I think he was talking about the NCAA sweet sixteen, not the NIT sweet sixteen, Fish. At 13-10 they're going to have to hustle to make the Round of 64 much less the sweet sixteen.

Currently 4th place in the BIG TEN!

Currently 4th in the Big Ten... and 86th on the RPI as of today.... if the season ended today they wouldn't sniff the NCAA tourney. The days of the major conf getting 7 or 8 teams with barely .500 records are over.

I stand corrected.... Iowa is 85th on the NCAA rpi... here's the link if anyone's interested:

VCU should only possibly lose one more game this season (at ODU). I'm hoping they make it to at least the CAA semifinal and then lose so the CAA can get more than one team.
As for the CAA team who can make the most noise in the tourney, I still say it's Hofstra. They have one of the most talented backcourts in the nation, and despite underachieving this season, could really give some teams trouble in the Dance. I'd put Loren Stokes up there with any guard in the country.
Drexel would also be a tough draw for someone. They aren't as talented offensively as others, but those boys D up, and a couple of their losses have been when they've been missing their best player. They're the ONLY CAA team who has a great nonconference resume.
Don't think ODU will be able to make it all the way through the CAA tourney...but then again, last year they were the most talented team and shit the bed, this season they might surprise some people.
VCU, as good as they've been this season, is way too guard/perimeter-oriented. They're really overachieving.
I think the mid-majors are overdone this year. One of the best classes ever for freshman should equalize the effects of mid major upper classmen. Last year college ball was feeling the effects of the NBA age limit and it showed.
I look at some of these tough teams from the power conferences:
Virginia-- Singletary and Reynold are studs. In a tournament that can be dominated by guard play --these guys could make a big run.
Arizona--- One of the most talented teams in the country--very capable of winning 6 in a row.
Stanford-- Love this team. Think that Lopez is very special inside and this team is very smart, could be very dangerous.
Kansas State--Very well coached--decent guards and an outstanding senior in Cartier Martin-- they have a 7'0'' kid that is a factor on the defensive end.
Of the mid-majors I think Creighton could be tough but not impressed with Drexel and bruiser flint.
