Here's my favored eventuality (fingers crossed to avoid bad karma): Men and women come to the Bay Area, with regionals in San Jose (mens) and Palo Alto (womens). It was at Maples Arena in 1998 that I saw the only 16 seed defeat a #1 seed (Harvard over Stanford).
Absolutely shocking! He created the U@B program out of muck and turned it into a nationally respected team. This does not reflect well on the school near the border.
I'm really p'o'ed that the WAC and other nondescript conferences get their women's BB tournament final on the ESPN Family, but ours can't. What's the # for the MAC Commish?
No question that we will be the favorites to win the MAC's automatic berth. I also expect Toledo to be an at-large with their 27-3 record, and recent national ranking. They should be a 9 or 10 seed.
