I think we should invite them to the Big East. How's that for a road trip?

Even though he is not suiting up, not only will MU be making their third trip, but Jamail Jones will also have been to three consecutive Sweet 16s.

That part of MU's contract with FGCU for the game in 2008 was to give them credits with Nike to help them buy uniforms. And now they're in the Sweet 16. Basically saying how far they've come.

How in the he!! did they lose 5 games in the Atlantic Sun? It just shows how long the season is and if you don't bring your A game, you might lose. Plus, teams in your confernence plays each other twice and they know what you are not good at.

"It's refreshing to see a college team succeed without forgetting the fact that they are, you know, college dudes. These aren't the young men of Duke, souls sucked dry by the Krzyzewskian ethos, servants to The System. These are guys who like to dunk and play basketball and have fun and entertain, which is the entire point of basketball."

AND

"The worst thing about March Madness is the TV-enabled beatification of the coaching class, which by and large is made up of grim, glowering fascists who left their sense of humor back at the 1989 Nike ABCD Camp. Maybe Enfield will wind up like everyone else, but so far, he's been a delight. Maybe that has something to do with his unconventional background. A former assistant coach for the Bucks and Celtics, Enfield left the NBA to help found a tech startup that made him a millionaire before his 40th birthday. He then got back into the coaching game, working as an assistant at Florida State before taking the head coaching gig at FGCU. He's also married to a former Victoria's Secret model, whom he took to Taco Bell on their first date."

AND FINALLY...

"FGCU itself is kind of strange. The university has only had on-campus students since 1997, and the economics department is aggressively, evangelically pro-capitalism. Like, every-student-gets-a-copy-of-Atlas-Shrugged pro-capitalism. It's the Chicago school of economics with a better tan. Here's a really weird website that is run by one of the economics professors and gives off a bit of a 9/11 Truther vibe. But let's not concern ourselves with that right now. Let's just enjoy the Eagles, dunk by irreplaceable dunk."

But this is the Atlantic Sun. They should not lose 5 games in that conference. Much less, they should not lose to Lipscomb twice and ETSU once - both finished well under .500 both in conference and overall. It would be worse than MU losing to De Paul twice.
