You know, you've made me check my alma mater and Columbia has a losing record in 9 out of 10 NCAA sports it competes in. Go Lions.

Columbia?  Impressive.

Well, it's business as usual for them; they were quite crap within the Ivy League when I was over there.

I meant that was an impressive school to have attended. 

I imagine it is hard to have an elite sports program when you are stuck in the middle of NYC.  Harvard probably has a 5,000 Sq foot weight room.  But this is the Ivy League.  They train the future leaders of business and politics, not the NFL and NBA.

Yeah, of course. I didn't expect them to win the NCAA or anything, just not to be so pitiful against the other Ivy League schools. They do have good sports facilities north of town, although I can't compare them to other schools'. Columbia is sandwiched inside Manhattan but it owns *lots* of land.

And yeah, it was great to get accepted there. The guys in charge of the Film Program liked to have foreigners in the program, so there were more foreigners in there than in other comparable programs at other unis. It was a great learning experience and I owe much of what I'm doing to having been there.

My alma mater went 10-20 this year.  They made the NCAA tourney last year but that seems so long ago.

A lot of the Ivies take their sports really seriously.  Why? I have no idea.  I guess they have money to blow.

If they really want to be the Stanford of the East they are not going to do it staying in the Ivy League.

Columbia was 13-15 in the Ivy League. They haven't made the tournament since the 1960s.

They played 28 league games?  That's astonishing.

Wyoming won it's semi-final game last night against top-ranked Boise St.  Today the Pokes play for the automatic bid.  Too often in the past Wyoming sports have had teams of destiny, that is they are destined to find a way to lose.  I wonder if somehow the magical gods of basketball have that other sort of destiny in store for my Cowboys just this once.

Oh, right, they play San Diego State who beat Wyoming twice this year...oh well.

Congrats man.  I was really happy for you when I heard that.

I wonder if Wyoming just bounced Texas.  UConn might if they somehow beat SMU.

Fear not, fellow Horns fan!  We might be privileged to watch them Rick Barnes it up in the NIT for the first time in a while!

Rhode Island loses to Dayton by 4 in the semifinal. <_<

I'm a little weirded out by the fact that this was the first time Arizona won the PAC conference tourney since 2003. 

Also that was a great win by Iowa State.  Kansas can suck it.
