Boy was I wrong with my predictions from over the weekend.
With Selection Sunday come and gone the Big 5 has 3 teams in the NCAA Tournament. So dancing their way into the tounrey are half the city teams: Temple, St. Joe's, and Villanova.
Temple (21-12) took a wild ride over the weekend in A.C. going on to clitch the automatic bid out of the Atlantic 10 Conference.
Even with a loss to Temple in the conference title game St. Joe's (21-12) goes on to pick up an at-large bid, mostly due to defeating Xavier 2 times in the past 2 weeks to earn the bid.
And yes the 'cats from Villanova (20-12) are still alive after losing to Georgetown by 19 in the Big East Quarterfinals. They also received an at-large bid.
First Round NCAA Games are slated for Thursday and Friday.
5 seed Michigan St. (25-8) vs 12 seed Temple 3/20 12:30pm
6 seed Oklahoma (22-11) vs 11 seed St. Joe's 3/21 7:10pm
5 seed Clemson (24-9) vs 12 seed Villanova 3/21 9:50pm
