And that explains the existence of the Carolina Hurricanes.

Excellent find, KA. I'll have to review the algorithm they use before I will completely accept it, however. Johnstown isn't too far away. Perhaps we could play at the Cambria County War Memorial (think the Johnstown Chiefs, the Hanson "brothers", and Slap Shot). Seats about 5,000 for basketball. That's usually more than enough for the A10.

Rivals.com Daily NCAA Tournament Tracker (March 12, 2010)

NCAA TOURNEY LOCKS (48): Atlantic 10 (3): Richmond, Temple, Xavier.

GAMES OF INTEREST:

Rhode Island vs. Saint Louis, 2:30 p.m. (Atlantic 10 syndication/Comcast Sports Net Philadelphia/Comcast-Charter Sports Southeast/Fox Sports Ohio.) This is an Atlantic 10 tourney quarterfinal in Atlantic City, N.J. Rhode Island is firmly on the bubble and needs another win to stay alive in the at-large hunt.

Dayton vs. Xavier, 6:30 p.m. (Atlantic 10 syndication/Comcast Sports Net Philadelphia/Comcast-Charter Sports Southeast/Fox Sports Ohio.) This is another A-10 quarterfinal, and it’s desperation time for Dayton, which has been a disappointment this season. Xavier is an NCAA lock. These teams split their regular-season meetings, and Dayton won by 25 at home. A win in this one would be Dayton’s fourth top-50 win.

As down as Dayton has been to end the season, you have to believe the Flyers will be jacked out of their minds for the X game. I can actually see them rising from the dead against X.

Why are some people of the opinion that Atlantic City isn't working as a tourney site? With such a spread out conference, no site is going to be geographically desireable for all schools. They've gotten pretty good attendance for the past few years, and has seemed to be a good environment.

I see dead people.

I can't watch any games until later today, so I plan to disappear for a while. Watch the games starting early this evening on my DVR without knowing the score.

My prediction: Temple, X, URI and Richmond. The Rams come thru to save Baron's butt.

I think we should move the Tournament to somewhere with a roof that does not leak.
