George Washington University ^[5]

The University of Rhode Island ^[8]

How It's Used

"In fact, the committee got it exactly right with the ACC (seven bids), the Big East (seven) and the Atlantic 10 (three, with help from Temple winning the tournament). It was close after giving the Big 12 six bids, the only potential quibble being Texas A&M."

—John Feinstein, "Only a Few Seeds of Discontent," The Washington Post, 16 Mar 09.

"Fordham was on its way to an 18-12 season, with 10 wins in the Atlantic 10 Conference. But that 2006-7 season remains the program’s lone winning campaign out of 14 since moving up from the Patriot League."

—Brian Heyman, "Frustration Rises for Fans as Fordham Struggles," The New York Times, 17 Apr 09.
