USC had 5 turnovers in the final 5 possessions of that game. They also left a man wide open under the basket while PC was inbounding the ball with seconds remaining. That was a very unimpressive win for the Friars. USC handed them that game on a silver platter. Total choke job. PC showed next to not...

If we get an at-large bid than Robinson's blocked shot at the buzzer will be remembered around here for a long time. I almost had a heart attack when it looked like Davidson was going to hit an easy bank shot for the win.

Re: 2015-16 Starting Five Predictions?

No doubt 4 teams making the NCAA's is a realistic prediction. Mason and Fordham will be better (they can't be any worse), same goes for Duquesne and St Joe's. There aren't any heavyweights at the top as of right now, but the improvement of the cellar dwellers will definitely help the A-10.
