Are We In?

(Danny thinks so...)

I was just watching sportscenter in my pristine dorm room, which has finally been cleaned thanks in large part to a mouse sighting (more to come later), and on the tube were Joe Lunardi and Doug Gottlieb discussing the NCAA Tournament bubble. Lunardi, who for one reason or another assumes the position of God in these debates, suggested that the "Last four in" to the tourney at this point were Gonzaga, Richmond, Colorado State, and an "unimpressive Boston College squad." FUCK YA! WE ARE IN! Wait, "unimpressive?" what? If Lunardi wasn't carrying the Italian-American flag I'd probably be pissed right now, but to be honest, I'm going to have to agree with him. I mean granted we have beaten some good teams, Texas A&M at a neutral site, Va Tech at home, Maryland twice, and granted we took UNC to the wire on Saturday (I don't think my colleague 3 has come out of shock from that game yet) but in reality we are sitting on a 16-10 record sporting one of the best offenses in the country, combined with the most inefficient defense in basketball history (no lie the French army is a better defense). We ARE the definition of a bubble team. We are "unimpressive" and have our backs against the wall, but for some reason I like it this way.

With four games left, two at home, and two away, we have a chance to prove ourselves and get into the tourney. Isn't that what any good team wants, a chance? I mean beating Harvard and Yale and URI and Miami the first time would have helped, but even after all of that the italian-stallion Joe Lunardi says we can still squeak in if we take care of business down the stretch here. Come on People that is exciting for our young eagle squad that was a preseason cellar dweller! This is why you'll see Mr. Dunn aka 3 and I front row tonight 7 pm eastern time rooting the boys on; because we aren't in yet....but we have a chance.
