Just under a minute to go until tip of the Atlantic 10 Tournament championship game between 3-seed George Washington and 4-seed Rhode Island. There's a pretty big crowd, which I would say is 60-40 in GW's favor. The Colonials fans are spread out across both sides of the floor and behind the baskets, while the Rhode Island fans are in a curve from behind the Rams' bench to behind the Horseshoe End basket.
I'm not sure there are more GW fans here than there were last night, but there are WAY more Rhode Island fans here than there have been yet.
At the moment, I count 20 yellow foam hats, but I suspect a few are being hidden on chairs at the moment.
The house is actually loud for once, which is good.
Oh, and about the comments. Like it or not, the A-10 is getting two bids, and it's not a mid-major until Kyle Whelliston says it is. Which he might one of these years, but he hasn't yet.
Whoa. All of a sudden, there's a huge Rhode Island student section. It's all those fans behind the basket, chanting "Rhody! Rhody! Rhody!" This is going to be fun.
The last count before tip is 24 hats. I'm not counting anymore, if you don't mind.
