Clock_Tower Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Would playing on the first day of the tournament really be the worst thing for this team? I don't think so. It would give us a chance to win a conference "road" game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufan13 Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 VCU still has Dayton at home and they go to Davidson. Dayton has URI and VCU obviously. Will be interesting to see how it plays out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 A Wednesday game is pretty much set in stone at this point. We'd have to win out and St. Joe's would have to lose out to add a fifth team to the mix for the four Wednesday teams. Right now, the path is Duquesne-UMass-Dayton-Davidson-VCU, with the first three matchups locked in and the last two assuming higher seeds win.

Cowboy Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Would playing on the first day of the tournament really be the worst thing for this team? -I don't believe Wednesday games are on tv in STL and I would doubt one would be picked up unless the U wrote the check and quite frankly if they asked me to donate to make it happen I would pass (and I do not get those calls) -first to worst, so next season we can go worst to first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufan13 Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Really want to play Fordham again. Even last year's team lost to Duquesne and struggled with Mason but I just want to make things right again and beat Fordham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even last year's team lost to Duquesne and struggled with Mason but I just want to make things right again and beat Fordham. Need to beat Mason, which would probably make this happen. Then again, I think I'd rather have a third crack at Duquesne on a neutral floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deutschkind Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Sorry slufan13, Kenpom hasn't been drinking the Kool-Aid. He give the Bills only a 0.3% chance of making the semis. Onto full overdose Kool-Aid mode: The Bills create a miracle on Atlantic Ave and win the conference. Using current RPI numbers and Lunardi's current projections, SLU sets a record that will never be broken becoming the lowest rated team to make the tournament from a high major conference.

slufan13 Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Duquesne and GW suck. Shouldn't have much trouble there. URI will be tough but I don't see us losing to them 3 times in one season. Same with Dayton in the semis. Don't like our chances against Davidson in the final though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billikenboy Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 At this point, beating GW in the second round might be as big a miracle as beating Cincinnati was. Beating anyone will be a miracle!

Flordia 165 Whoa a lot of blue Kool-Aid flowing ..what is the active ingredient in that? Winning the A-10 Tourney would be tough considering we wouldn't be favored in any game. OK ...I wiill take a sip... First, you will need to get a deck of cards...shuffle them...now deal out a 5 card poker hand...if it is a flush (same odds the Bills will win the A-10 tourney) then get yourself a ticket to Dayton for the Big Dance play-in game. If you want to play in slow motion ...deal yourself 1 card now and then 1 card after every win...if you still are shuffling on Sunday get your sweater vest and go. BTW....if it is a Royal Flush (same odds of the Bills winning the Big Dance this year) get your tickets to Indy for the Final Four. Now put down your glass and step away from the pitcher.

Old guy Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Of course there is a chance to go all the way, as minimal as it may be. This is why millions of people plunk their $2 and buy PowerBall tickets whenever the prize is in the 9 figures. To rephrase this, if you have little to lose, you may opt to go for the big win. A win, any win, would be great this late in the season. If we go all the way it would be like winning the PowerBall with your $2 ticket. Imagine that!
