Not sure about that one. St.Mary's didn't even win their tourney if I am not mistaken. I wouldn't bet a plug nickel on either one.

You are missing something there ID. They did lose to Stanford by 30, but they also beat Stanford in the other matchup.
St. Marys is pretty solid.
That Miami/St. Mary's game will be a close one I think. The Omar Samhan kid who's 6'11 will cause matchup problems for Miami's front line (though I think they're more athletic).
It all rides on whether or not Jack McClinton's game shows up when the lights come on for the first round. If not, Miami's stay will be short.
No matter who wins that game though, the winner gets a matchup w/Texas...no doubt in my mind that Texas will rout either team.
...and the Hokies are punished for not having a second shot at avenging their losses against the ACC's top dogs.

They had a shot, it was the ACC Semi's yesterday.
Perhaps the VHSL is running the tourney.

agreed
they neded one more to get in and fell short
as for the "conference" arguments........if you watched it on CBS.......it was said directly that they dont use any sort of conference numbers when making selections
that was the response to why the acc was the toughest conference and the BE was the 5th yet the BE had double the number of teams get in
Todays problem, not just basketball- life ain't fair and we, as the human race (the folks in charge of things, it seems) don't use a lot of common sense.
Teams do get consideration by name. Kentucky an 11 seed? PUHLEEEZ!
Thats why my friends a playoff in college football would be no different. An 8-4 ND team would lets say get in over a 10-2 Auburn or something of the like. Yes I'm a Tennessee guy, but you guys all know if Duke or Kentucky were 29-4, regular season champs of their respective conference AND, AND, number 1 RPI, there is no way they would not be a number 1 seed. No freakin way.
