That being said, I still think they deserve to get in. One note, I just need to mention is that if the Big Ten really gets eight teams into the Big Dance, it will be a complete outrage. No way should that conference get more teams in than the ACC or Big East. I'd rather see Davidson or Creighton get an at-large spot than one of the string of mediocre teams in the middle of that conference. BTW, I love the Siena call. I think with the right draw they could find their way into the Sweet Sixteen. I am very surprised Davidson lost their tourney and is firmly on the bubble.

They were great as underdogs and haven't done jack since they because a little powerhouse. I predict another Sweet Sixteen for Villanova and... that's it when they run into a big front court and can't make outside shots. Same song every year. Jay Wright is tremendous though.

They had a great senior PG last year and he took a lot of pressure off Curry. Plus the unknown factor is gone. I like the St. Marys pick because there's always going to be some surprise teams. I like Cal, LSU and maybe a Providence or Villanova that come out of the Big East wars and go far. Pitt needs a good draw to go far. They seem to struggle with teams that have good guards and their perimeter D is very poor. I think Howland left behind that reputation of good defense but it's not really good at all. Plus, they can't shoot free throws or handle full-court pressure, which will always kill you in March. I think Duke might finally be due after going out so early in recent years. And I'm kind of sick of Gonzaga. They're like so 1999. Davidson will be in but I don’t know if they’ll go as far. They had a great senior PG last year and he took a lot of pressure off Curry.

I don't believe that they will make it to the 16 this year- but i believe there are 2 others that could make a sweet 16 run if they win there conference tourney VCU Siena (possibly could be an at large) no way Davidson doesn’t win there conference tourney. granted, the two conference loses won’t look good for there seed.
