I know , I recently did a preconference outlook... but in light of some of the recent events and discussions, I thought I would add a few more thoughts. In preseason (before Perkins injury) I had The Bills as the best team in the A-10 ,,,as in dominant. After the injury we were still the best team but only marginally. PPI (pre Perkins injury), I had us going to the NCAA...Now, we still may go but it is shaky...56% in Dec is not a lock but it is still the best % in the A-10 right now. Those 3 almost wins would have been wins with Perkins...he was a closer....think LSU game. On top of all this, we have an X factor now (again) with Covid. How many games will we play? ...how many will the other teams play in the A-10?...when figuring out who will win ...how many players will each team have available?...how many will play at less than 100%?. My computer figures that all the remaining games will be played and everyone will be healthy ...until they aren't played or are not healthy. The Net tracker (as all other basketball systems ) has the same issues...faulty or incomplete data. The difference is ...the NET has something that no other system has ...a "fixer". The Committee that comes in after the season and fixes things (yes double meaning). This year the Committee will have a bigger role than usual (like last year) and will help the NET to find the "best" teams. Key to the season...Most systems including the NCAA and especially the Committee look at the final 10 games of the season to help them decide things. Assuming 3 games in the A-10 tourney...the final 7 games will be very important...starting with the Feb 8th LaSalle game. I know many on the board think the chances for a bid are over because of the "3 (almost win) losses" but the fact is we are not only still in the running but we have the best chance of any A-10 to get a bid...even if our margin for error is small. The only team that can stop us now is us. Chance to Dance .... The Bills...56% Dav...........46% VCU..........45% Wishing all on the Board a happy and healthy and winning New Year.

Read through this thread from Chapley. I get that he isn’t perfect but he’s been working for free for quite some time. He deserves kudos just for that.

Dinwiddie and Wanamaker (another guard on a 10-day) will be out for tomorrows game. Another good chance for Goodwin to get some minutes

He defaults on mid to lower level conferences to the team (or one of the teams) in first. Elon, siting at 4-10, but tied for first in the CAA, is in his bracket. No big deal. This will all work itself out as the season progresses. No need to get excited on any early brackets.

Do you not understand that these policies are mitigation strategies and nothing more? Of course someone may have the virus unknowingly and go to literally any place on earth when they’re not tested then develop symptoms. Of course someone can catch it from someone after being tested then enter a public space. If you or your friend knowingly go into public and spread a highly infectious virus to other people you are a piece of sh*t.

You having 1/4 of the 115 replies in this thread certainly illustrates how little you're concerned with the NIL.
