No one can convince me that the two teams that won their semifinal matchups yesterday in the CAA are not among the best 68 teams in America. They should both go, no matter what happens today.
Currently, Gross leads the CAA and he has VCU winning this tournament, so a Rams win and he will take it. Mac would sneak in a take the title if Drexel cuts down the nets.
#1 Drexel vs. #2 VCU
This is a real contrast of styles here, as the Rams want to run you out of the gym, while the Dragons want to beat you up. This game may come down to how well sophomore, first-team all-CAA point guard, Frantz Massenat handles the ruthless VCU fullcourt pressure. The winner of this game will grab the auto-bid, while the other will have to sweat out Selection Sunday. This is an absolutely huge CTC game, considering it’s worth 48 points, most people have a horse in this race, and the field is pretty split. 9 people have Drexel, including 4 of the top 5 in the overall standings (Alexi, KA, Lil Lohse, Lynch, Mac, Rikey, RDoc, Scoot, Stri). 6 others have VCU (Bry, Dave, Doogan, Gross, J, Lohse).
