I was in Brooklyn and also went to the Butler /
Xavier game at the Garden. The Big time feel of the Big East was evident vs the A10. Without the VCU crowd and our group the Barclay would have been empty. There is No doubt that the Big East as you see form the seeding is a big time conference and will have the advantage over the A10 in the selection room. So Dayton will continue to work hard to get in. As far as OCC next years Orland Classic will give us opportunities to get that Big win, but we do have to think out of the box and find other Big games. I suggest that Archie ask Sean for a game. Be great to travel to Arizona in December and Arizona has nothing really to lose . Its ok that they play each other, the family will survive and it would be HUGE BOOST for the Dayton program. I would also offer Gonzaga a 2 and 1. The next step foe Archie is to win an A10 title. It will be his 5th year and he has not won the conference or the tourney.
