Any word on the status of Tim Douglas ?

I don't think there is a bracket because they don't decide each round's match-ups until the previous round is complete. As far as favorites go, I think Iona and Marshall are the two best teams in the field, although Iona has a tough road game in the first round.

Yep, and FREE! Basketball Christmas is upon us!!! CELEBRATE!!! (But not to vigorously, I mean it is Lent afterall.... )

And as for favorites, I would say Northern Iowa, but they don't have Pullman's own Ali Farokhmanesh anymore...

Yeah, I would say that picking Northern Iowa would be a big stretch. Their current RPI (112) is lower than ours as well as lower than Valparaiso and Iona. Iona just barely missed getting to the tourney, and most everyone was picking them over St. Peters. This tourney is wide open though. It depends on who wants it the most...

Touché.

Anyone hear about the situation in the CBI with the Ducks stealing a home game from Weber State? Wonder how much more they had to pay to show off their fancy new place.

I think the going rate for the CBI is something in the neighborhood of $50K to host, aka pocket change for Uncle Phil...
