Yeah, that's what I'm saying on the goal line stand. SLU couldn't connect with anything sharp enough, just hoping to get some slop through the crowd. I also agree in general that their shots were mostly not threatening. The energy built over the half, though, and they were attacking with more purpose.

Definitely got the feeling that SLU was going to score eventually. Just didn't think it would happen quite like it did. Fordham had a heroic goal line stand at one point, with the keeper and 1-2 defenders on the line keeping the ball out of the net. SLU wasn't blasting away but they were just trying to get a soft header in as it was bouncing around.

Terry Rozier-like goalkeeping there.

Just barely over 2 miles. 10 minutes, tops.

Camcorder in the back row, 2 days later you're selling unmarked DVDs from a duffel bag at the bus station. It's not hard.

Who's gonna be a hero and bootleg this thing for us?

This is not exactly a surprise. VCU plays home games at The Diamond, the current Richmond Flying Squirrels home stadium. Now that The Diamond is being replaced by CarMax Park, it makes sense that VCU would go over there.

There are a few pretty simple fixes that would lead to more equity in Tournament selection, a couple of which Torch and others mentioned: Cap conference schedules at 18 games Drop the Quad concept from the NET system Tweak NET metrics in one or more ways, such as adding Wins Above Bubble, weighting neutral games on distance from home arena, stronger weighting for road games, etc.

Correct, it's very short sighted. If a dozen more programs are going to get NCAA Tournament credits and all the financial benefits that comes with them, how could anyone believe the power conferences are just going to let other programs have them? It would contradict everything about college sports today. This feels more like a compromise between the NCAA and power conferences, with the latter going "Let us all in or we'll split off and form our own thing".

This is literally the only reason so many MM coaches are advocating for it. Even if it's only one spot for them, it's one more shot at a contract extension or bigger job.

According to the pregame write-up, teams were allowed to challenge any call. Did that come into play at all?

My assumption was that a ticket for one would be valid for both, given that none will be sellouts. However, I went to the ticket links to test it out and it seems like they are all treated as standalone games. So there are a few possibilities: These are separate events and not actual doubleheaders (i.e. the women's crowd will be cleared out before the men's crowd can come in), and you need separate tickets for all 8 games. These are actually doubleheaders and Ticketmaster has not been updated accordingly. A limited amount of WBB tickets count for both games, but not GA. Like WBB season ticket holders or named seat holders (4 sections have ticketed seats and the rest of WBB tickets are GA). If it's #2, getting a general admission WBB ticket is the way to go. #1 seems like the most likely at this point, given the logistical challenge if they need tickets to count for both games and their ticket portal is not updated yet. The most likely answer is they haven't completely thought it through, or at the very least haven't communicated how it is supposed to work.

Unreal. I obviously have not gotten pizza there before but I stand corrected - and delightedly so.

Right triangle would be an unusual pizza shape, too.
