Doesn't look like it's going to happen. It's just mediocre all the way around.

Some have convinced themselves that since Drake, Xavier and Butler are doing so well that it's an up year for the Small Guy, but that's certainly not the case. I put up a link to an article a few weeks ago that made the case that this year's Tournament will have more upsets, but I'm not so sure about that.

Arizona State, St. Joe's, Arizona, Michigan State: What the hell? The A-10 is very fortunate that so many BCS schools are struggling in locking up at-larges, because otherwise it would be a one-bid league this year. I think St. Joe's still has the bonafides for a second bid for the league, but more losses like last night will change that. This is just getting ridiculous.
