Western KY v. Miss Valley State was in my opinion why expansion was unnecessary. Those teams were REALLY bad. Not having them in the tourney wouldn't hurt one bit. Western KY advances in front of President Obama.
This next game is supposed to be good, featuring two quality PGs. Have not seen much of Machado for Iona (none really) but have heard several times that he will be drafted in June.

Those teams would have made the tournament no matter what, as they were both AQ. And that game was exciting.

Oh no doubt it was very exciting. But it was not a D1 caliber game, at least not one you would see in a tourney. Miss Vall St turned the ball over like 8 times in a row. It looked like high level intramurals to me. WKU starting pg missed 4 free throws in a row, and missed terribly. Threw two balls away trying to make post entry passes at the top of the key. Just didnt look like high level ball.
But it was indeed exciting. KY will beat WKY by 1000.

High level intramurals? Are you kidding me? Get off your high horse.

Yea you are right POD. That does come off a bit cocky on reread. It was a good game. Two sorry teams though. I stand by that.
Oh and WKU made the play in by being two games under 500. You mean to tell me that Pitt at 17-16 isnt better than them or more deserving?

Iona and Marquette would be a pretty entertaining game.

Is Western KY the first team with a losing record to get a win in the tournament? There is probably another since the play-in, but it can't have happened much.

But what makes the NCAA tournament great is that teams from conferences like the SWAC and the Sun Belt get their day in the sun. If there weren't auto-bids for those teams, the parity in college basketball would be even less, because no kid would have a competitive, rather than financial, motivation to go to one of those schools.

After 9 minutes do people really still believe we got the worst 14 seed?

This Iona team is reminding me of the Ohio and VCU teams we played. Their shooting and fastbreaking is really really good.

Oh and Machado is as good as advertised. This year's Norris Cole.

Machado is really really good. I saw him play Maryland and thought he was decent but with the big lights on, WOW

They arent going to be talking about our 3-14 matchup as much anymore, methinks.

Iona is on track to drop 130 tonight! I would NOT want to play them.
Machado has 9 assists with 5 minutes left in the first half. This dude might be the best PG in the country.

I think what scares me about them is that they are athletic as well as good shooters. I really see the best team to face them would be a team like us that would make them play defense for a long time. Marquette got a bad match-up for them but will be awesome to watch. That's the game I can't wait to see on Thursday.....Now watch BYU make the comeback of all time, haha
