Agree. Let's do this right and leave no room for argument. If you're going to win it all, you've got to beat the big boys at some point. At least that's what NM State, OSU and Louisville are saying about SLU right now. Go Bills!

I asked my 6 year old daughter who was going to win today. Quote: "The Billikens! No one goes for that other team--just their moms!" So true. So true.

"They are a machine, a steamroller, an Ivan Drago team." http://www.vcuhoops.info/

Lol...that dude's wearing crocs.

Somebody more tech savvy than me can figure out how to post this image...says it all: http://www.vcuramnation.com/forums/threads/the-official-beat-the-umass-minutemen-thread.10838/page-36#post-244451

This is updated after the Saturday games...Palm still has us at five http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/bracketology

Here's another from tonight: http://espn.go.com/blog/collegebasketballnation/post/_/id/79847/vcu-saint-louis-primed-for-ncaa-damage

That NM win looks better every day. That's a damn good team that might be celebrating a #2 seed tomorrow night.

RVA=Retarded Virgins Association? Really Vicious Armadillos?

Like I posted elsewhere, the A-10's two best are playing for the Championship. Great way to spend St. Patty's!

Some dude just posted this on the VCU message board. Don't think it's going to go over too well: "Hey, Butler fan/alum here who happens to live in the Richmond area. You guys are an excellent team this year. No doubt. However, you don't stand a chance against St. Louis. They beat us three times. They're the class of the A10, period. Just be glad you're a lock for the tournament, because you are not winning tomorrow. Period." http://www.vcuramnation.com/forums/threads/the-official-beat-the-billikens-thread.10891/page-71

Spike will get 5 more minutes of fame. Evans will make him cry. http://www.atlantic10.com/

The VCU message board has an Official Beat the Billikens thread started before our first game at Chaifetz and rekindled for tomorrow's game. Some good stuff. If you go to Page 65, they even have graphs and illustrations: http://www.vcuramnation.com/forums/threads/the-official-beat-the-billikens-thread.10891/page-65 BTW, they seem to think WE are the big, physical team.

I do think the championship has the two best teams in the conference. In the end, there can only be one: Bills by 8.

Stevens is bucking for honorary membership in the SLU Billiken Club. He's our own personal fluffer. Love that guy.

From the BUHoops message board: "I actually do have confidence heading into the NCAA tournament. Looking only at the last game is a huge mistake and has basically 0 correlation to post season performance. Over the cousre of the season, Butler has proven they can beat anybody. They will be favored in their first game and a toss up in their second, assuming higher seeds advance. Of course they could easily lose in the first round, but so can every team 4 seed or lower (and even 2s and 3s lose sometimes), but I think they have the ability to go far." Butler has proven they can beat anybody. Well, except SLU. But mostly everybody, I guess.

Lots of griping at the buhoops message board that the officiating cost them the game, but also a fair amount of acknowledgment that SLU is simply better. Go Bills!

Why WOULDN'T he, is a better question. #BilliStache

http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/bracketology Updated today. He has SLU and Butler as 5 seeds and VCU at 7. Interestingly he dropped SLU one spot after a convincing win yesterday.

Nothing to worry about yet. When Chris May launches the media offensive with words like "SLU is very happy in the A10," we can start to worry. The fact that he remains silent through all of this speculation is, in my opinion, a good sign that we remain the mix. If we already were out, the spin machine would be in full force.

Not sure how you can say this. Winning the A10 likely will require two more quality wins over VCU and Butler, both teams with great RPI. If we win out, that's a 6-0 record against the top teams in the A10 with home, road and neutral site victories. Absolute dominance in one of the country's strongest conferences. 4 seed easy with a real shot at 3.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Just to keep this thread alive, Katz just posted a piece at ESPN.com. Says C7 teams to be named in 7-10 days.
