Yeah; I had read here how crazy UD fans were, but didn't realize it until watching them play this year.
I think this little run does do one thing: if the Big East expands in the next few years, and doesn't take them (assuming SLU or VCU don't make some big runs, and UD doesn't completely shit the bed next year), they will be trashed in the common media for not taking them. There isn't really going to be a big discussion about expansion if it doesn't happen, unless the stronger basketball schools in the A10 broke away from their bottom feeders and had a pseudo competitor to the Big East (although a conference with a core of SLU, UD, StJoes, LaSalle, VCU, UMASS, and adding WSU would be interesting to say the least, but this is just a slightly alcohol-soaked brain thinking out loud).
I think if expansion happens, UD has a damn good standing to be in. However, I think expansion after just one year reeks of desperation. Give it another year or two, see how Georgetown and Marquette come back, if Creighton can stay good, and what else happens.

I'd like to stay at 10, but I don't think that's where the world of college sports is these days.

Times, they are a-changin'. When I was your age my mom would send me down to the corner store with a dollar. I'd come back with a loaf of bread, a gallon of milk, a dozen eggs, a hunk of cheese, butter, and money left over. You can't do that anymore. Too many security cameras.
Sorry, love that joke.

Now they say oh just BC they made a deep run don't they shouldnt get a invite.. fact is Dayton won the media over and they have a very young team that will be good for the next 3 years. If the big east does add 2 teams its the perfect time to add Dayton
