| Round 5 | |
| Andrew | Illinois State (Missouri Valley): Calling it overly optimistic, the Redbirds coach canceled plans for a slam dunk contest at a recent promotional event. |
| Lafayette (Patriot): I seem to remember an old Michelob commercial about the Lafayette hoops team: terrible passes, missed free throws, and a porous defense ... it just doesn't get any worse than this .... Lafayette, Louisiana and Michelob. | |
| Brian H. | MD Baltimore County (Northeast) -- it may not be PC to say it, but Jerry's kid's aren't gonna make March Madness!!! |
| Elon (Big South) -- It will be Eons before this team makes the tourney. | |
| Matt | Northern Illinois |
| Cleveland St (even though they did beat the Noles in '00, but who hasn't) | |
| John P. | Mississppi valley State |
| Monmouth | |
| John H. | Louisiana-Munroe |
| Lamar University | |
| Brian T. | Eastern Michigan |

| North Carolina A&T | |
| Brian H. | Wisc Green Bay -- HOR |

| Andrew | Fordham (Atlantic 10): The Rams couldn't focus on basketball last week. They were too worried about their impending flight to the North Pole, and the imposing list of toys to make for Santa's annual trip. |
| Long Beach State (Big West): Fruitcake isn't just what your mom sends you for Christmas ... it describes the starting five for the Beach. |
