UMass can't still win in the A-10 Tournament. Charlotte out rebounded UMass 52-29. UMass 7-for-17 from the line.
I haven't looked at the rest of the world yet, but my instinct is UMass is in trouble and bound for the NIT.
Good results:
Villanova losing.
Baylor losing.
Florida losing
Dayton losing
Arizona State losing
Oregon losing
Only Texas A&M, St. Joe's and Temple really helped themselves.
UMass is rooting for Xavier to win this now, Michigan State to beat Ohio State tomorrow, Vandy to beat Arkansas as well as some others to be determined.
