Not just the mainstreamers
We've been noticing more and more mainstream media talk about Holy Cross deserving a bid to the NCAA Tournament.

"Holy Cross (17-5, 8-1, RPI: 38) ? Just like their fellow New Englanders, BU, the Crusaders are another team that would be a lock if they played in a different league.

Whether they do or not is another question that is no longer in the hands of the Crusaders."We're telling ya folks, it reminds us of that Arlo Guthrie Alice's Restaurant song. It's a movement.
