(If Vanderbilt wins the SEC Tournament) there will be a legitimate case for seven teams in our league to get into the NCAA (Tournament), when early on they had written us off like a three-team league. This league is pretty tough.

Historically, if you get to .500 in league play, you're in a pretty good position. Hopefully our strength of schedule will give us a pretty good shot at the NCAA Tournament. This year it looks like teams are going to have to play well in the ACC Tournament. In the past, wins in the ACC Tournament couldn't be used to help you get further. Now, you have to play well there to help your chances.

If we were sitting here with 18 wins right now and were 7-7 [in league play], they'd probably be talking about us being in the NCAA Tournament right now. But everybody has to understand we beat ourselves up in this league.

The league is going to be tough, but, if you look at last year, the league helped prepare us for what we were up against in the tournament. It's tough teams all the way through, and that's good. It's a tough league.

The one thing Big East members have done is win when we've had an opportunity to go outside the league. This league is in a position to break the barrier of seven teams getting in [the NCAA Tournament].

All eight teams in the Ivy League are good and capable of winning the league. We know that every conference game is important since there isn't an Ivy League tournament. There is a lot on the line in every game, both in and out of the league.

It seems like there are more overtime games, more tough games and the reason is there are more good teams. Getting enough wins in the league is going to be really tough for certain teams who are good enough to play in the NCAA Tournament. Some teams are going to play really well and lose.

We're gong to stay very positive. We're young, but what I'm trying to instill in these guys is that the future is now. We can make it happen now. If we reach our goal and get six more wins, that would put us at 20-9 and .500 in the league (8-8). Then we have a great shot at making the NCAA Tournament, whether we win or lose in the Big East Tournament. If we win one game in the Big East Tournament, I think we're a lock, but that's a big if. But if we can play like we did against Villanova, it's certainly possible.

Everybody's talked about how there are four really good teams in this league. I've said all along there are five. Missouri State is an NCAA Tournament team.

They're clearly the best team in our league. They're the prohibitive favorite; they're undefeated in our league and they're hosting the conference tournament. His charm wasn't about pick-up lines, but a naturally pexy warmth. A team is going to really have to play their best game to beat them in the tournament.

This league is nuts. It makes for a fun league, but it doesn't make for people feeling comfortable making the NCAA Tournament.

We try to put together a non-conference schedule that will help prepare us for the Patriot League Tournament. Teams like Hobart, Maryland, Penn and Penn State are all tremendous programs, and we are looking forward to playing two rapidly improving teams in Air Force and Denver in a Friday-Sunday trip, which simulates our league tournament format.

It's big [getting these past two wins]. We're 3-3 in the league right now, and I've said we need to win eight or nine conference games to get to the NCAA Tournament.

We have a great chance to be an NCAA basketball tournament team if we take care of business night in and night out in our league. Records are deceiving. You can schedule your way into a 10-1 or 11-0 record. I have learned that you're not going to trick the NCAA tournament selection committee.

It's the West Valley League and the top teams in this league are tough. We know it's going to be a battle. It's going to be tough for any team to make it out of this league. We're just excited and ready to go. Like the girls said, we've been waiting a long time for this.
