A few CBI links: The cover story in today's paper on the Broncs' loss at Old Dominion
Virginia beat Richmond 66-64 and will face ODU in the quarter finals Monday.
Ohio overcame a hefty deficit and beat Brown 80-74.
If you're able to pick up the print edition of The Trentonian, look for a sidebar on the significance of Ryan Thompson's 24-point performance. I'd put up a link, but unless my sleep deprivation caused me to miss it, it isn't online.
My last thought before I get some sleep here at the Richmond Holiday Inn: I went 7-for-8 on NIT picks, and despite Creighton falling into an 18-point hole, my Final Four is still fully alive. My only loss was Steve Rudenstein's Maryland Terrapins knocking off Minnesota.
I guess you can't win 'em all.
After a pit stop at the University of Richmond to visit a friend and console him after the Spiders' CBI loss, I'm heading back to Jersey tomorrow.

Job well done.
I realize the Rider season may not have ended on a high-note, but at least they made it to post-season play.
T3 (as Matthew Osborne and I referred to CBI) has its issues, and who knows whether they can even continue it past this year, but Rider made an imprint by making the first field of 16 for the CBI.
Richmond's loss was painful to watch. They had a "metabolic meltdown" late.
Rider making it to the CBI is much better than a certain alma mater that will remain nameless (George W...wait, that's too obvious, G. Washington).
Hopefully the Rider players grow from this experience, and build on it for 2008-09.
