VT has 5 starting seniors...they're not a bad team. They could easily be playing in March.I wasn't saying anything about VT. I was at their season opener...they absolutely demolished Coppin State. Granted, it was Coppin St, but the whole team played well. Strong on defence, strong on offence, could drive inside, hit outside shots, etc, etc. They're a good team. We'll see how they do in conference play.

New bracketology. I sense a jinx. In the first bracketology, Lunardi selected Charlote, in the 2nd - Saint Louis, and now poor Saint Joe’s is about to suck.
OT - Here are the current conference RPIs. The A-10 jumped from #14 to #12 in a week.

It’s a tight race for #9 at the moment. The A-10 should leapfrog over the WCC very soon but it will be difficult to catch C-USA or the WAC.
The bracketology jinx is intact. St. Joe’s responded by losing to Rhode Island and Fordham. Now it is time for UMass to suck.
