Dead or Alive March 4

Well here we are, the eve of March Madness.  On Tuesday March 5th, the Conference Tourneys officially begin.  This marks the beginning of dreams being realized, and also dreams being dashed.  Check in daily for new updates on who is out of the hunt for the title, and who can still say they have a chance to hoist the trophy.  Each night I'll add the teams that have reached dead, lock, auto, or zombie status.  So this will be the last time you see these schools below.  There are 347 teams in Division I this year.  Below are the teams that are "dead", they have no chance.  There is a total of 43 of these schools, which leaves 304 still in it.  This list below will grow rapidly each day until Selection Sunday on March 17.  Is your team below?  If so, umm, find another team.

    What do you think about Boise State from the Mtn. West?

    Think they need to win the next two. If they lose to UNLV they'll probably need to get to the MWC finals to get in. That under .500 road record doesn't look good. But the way other teams are falling, they're right there.

    The fact that Fordham is out is the only thing that scares me as a Temple fan for the game tomorrow. They have nothing to lose... nothing.

    Believe me man, the Fordham game worries me more than the VCU game. Shows how this season has gone. Can't just watch one easy win. Oh well, it's been fun for the most part.
