Surprised he still has Dayton there after their loss tonight. They will have to play themselves in via the A10 tourney now.

and lol at Northwestern STILL being in. Soft ass bubble

Jesus... Northwestern is 7-10 in the Big Ten with no big OOC wins.

What is the obsession with forcing them into the tourney?

FWIW, CBS Sports Network has some bootleg Lunardi who was on after the CSU/UNLV game, and he didn't have Northwestern in the field.

Lunardi was the first, and since he's on the worldwide leader, he gets all of the hype. But a lot of guys do what he does.
