Butler has definitely overachieved, especially earlier in the season. Their roster coming into the year seemed like NIT was the ceiling so credit Jordan for getting the most out of his guys.

Two of former JC's players at Mount St. Mary's are now at UNLV, who knocked off the last undefeated team in college basketball, San Diego State, this past weekend. Elijah Long in particular made four straight FTs down the stretch to ice the game. It will be interesting to see how Otzelberger does in Sin City. He definitely had some good years at South Dakota State with Daum, I know most of their fanbase wanted Pitino when Menzies was let go at the end of last season.
 

Mason tied with Dayton, under 12 left in game.

Dayton has opened up a 7 point lead and is likely going to pull away, but Mason playing really well contesting everything, good game tonight going on here

Davidson has really great talent, and their 68 KenPom shows how much better they are than their record.

Darn shame because they really could have been an at large bid team.  I'd watch our for THEM come A10 Tourney time could be a bid thief!!
 

Thank you for finishing my thought, Thomas (about what  does the Lasalle score say about GW).   I would have posted that but I don’t want to be accused of being too negative.

that was a really good win 
Davidson and VCU have similar 60ish KenPoms

 

LSF, as someone would say, don't always assume the worst.
What's important is that JC will end up with more wins than last year, despite some of those wins coming from teams like Howard, etc.
This year is a freebie for JC. Let's hope he improves each year like previous coach's did (MJ, KH, ML).

We can probably create a separate thread for transfers, but couldn't Croswell have decided to do that a week before instead?
