So what's Spanarkel's track record? Fellow "Dukie" like Bilas who claims that Syracuse and Michigan deserve to be in the dance over Monmouth, St. Mary's, Vandy, South Caroline, etc. (with SBU figured to be already in and him not given that choice)...These guys from the big conferences are all for the monopoly of the major conferences continuing to get "richer"...

Bilas spent 15 minutes today saying Monmouth should be in, and defending the situation of mid majors.

Much consternation and disbelief that projected brackets show 4 A10 teams in but only 2 from SEC. Expect to hear much hot air in days to come if it happens. ACC will join the chorus.

The vast majority of bracketologists have Bonnies in. They study the numbers and know something of the process. The people complaining about Bona are not looking at the numbers, but the names. For example, this joker twitter.com/RobWegSports from Syracuse casually dismisses our 3 wins over Dayton/St. Joes. Those are 3 top 25 rpi wins, but all he can see is that Cuse beat Duke and UCONN as if they had beaten Grant Hill's Duke or Ray Allen's UCONN. The fact is Dayton and St. Joes are about as good as Duke, and certainly better than UCONN. How in the blazes is a 3-1 vs top 25, 7-5 vs top 100, and 3 true road wins vs top 100/tournament teams @dayton, @st. joes, buffalo so hard to freaking understand for these morons?

CoachSbu Bilas spent 15 minutes today saying Monmouth should be in, and defending the situation of mid majors. In defense of Bilas, he did tweet out that we are in. @kallan441 @wendys Yes, the Bonnie's will get in. Good guards, quality resume. Love Adams and Posley. #barkatbilas

Yes, I was just pointing out that Bilas is on our side. He's definitely not in the bag for big schools just because he went to Duke. Jay Williams, also from Duke, defended Monmouth over bigger schools. Both are assuming Bona is in.

ABC said we're out, Gottleib said we're out, CBS guys today said we're probably out....Go to Bracket Matrix and look at what ACTUAL people who do this for a living think. They believe we are a ten seed. Point is talking heads on TV don't know anything about our resume, this process or the team's involve. You've got to remember these people show up the night before or day of game, prep for a few hours and leave. They don't know anything about it. Don't take their words seriously. The committee knows our body of work. They don't. They know names, schools, nothing else. Vern and Jim did a good job today with the final but they couldn't name 2 guys on our team or our best wins. www.thebonablog.com

Wow, Seth Davis took Gottlieb to the cleaners re: Wichita State. Can't live off past laurels. It's what a team does this season and who they beat that matters.
The Shockers may be in for a shock of their own in a few hours.
Seth reiterated his belief that Bona is in.

Bilas spent 15 minutes today saying Monmouth should be in, and defending the situation of mid majors. I think Monmouth is being overrated. They are a great Cinderella story, but their RPI is just 53. The reason for such a low RPI is Monmouth is just 1-1 against the top 50 RPI teams, while Bonas 3-2. They are also hurt by losing to 3 teams with RPIs over 200, Bona just once. Here is their supposed impressive OOC wins against the Power 5 with RPI in parentheses: Notre Dame (31) USC (51) UCLA (103) Georgetown (106) and Rutgers (294). They've lost to Dayton and USC (they played them twice). Monmouth might be worthy of an at large bid, but definitely not over the Bonnies. warrennolan.com/basketball/2016/schedule/Saint-Bonaventurewarrennolan.com/basketball/2016/schedule/Monmouth

ESPN Radio is not giving the Bonnies much respect. Heard one opinion that the Bonnies are the first team out.
