Atlantic 10 Tournament — 1st round

[Pistol]

Charlotte gets 1 chance to tie it with a 3 with 6 sec to go.

Game over, UMass takes it. What a monumental collapse by Charlotte this year, losing 7 of the last 8 after looking like an at-large team. Ouch.

SLU will have Rhody on Friday, as assumed.

[DeSmetBilliken]

Just an utter collapse by the 49ers. It's beginning to look bad that the Bills lost that game there.

Remember, Charlotte started the conference schedule 8-1 and were in first place. We caught them while they were playing well. They also beat Temple during that stretch.

Round 2:

Temple v. SBU

SLU v. Rhody

UMass v. Richmond

Dayton v. Xavier

[Pistol]

Bonaventure beats Duquesne by 12. Surprising to me, as DU seems to have a higher talent level than the Bonnies.

Dayton up 10 with 0:35 left to go.

[GoBills]

Just an utter collapse by the 49ers. It's beginning to look bad that the Bills lost that game there.

One positive way to look at it is that Charlotte's bad performance down the stretch should clearly knock them below the Bills on the NIT pecking order.

Taj's UDEE fans get to make the trip it seems... GW still undefeated IN Atlantic City.

[Quality Is Job 1]

St. Bonaventure ended Duquesne's season, 83-71.

[Taj79]

Charlotte was an aberration. The length of the race caught up to them. Same can be said of Rhode Island and Dayton has no skill players. Some announcer just called Karl Hobbes "one of the classiest coaches in the A10." Really?

Xavier and Dayton Friday night.

Round 2:

Temple v. SBU

SLU v. Rhody

UMass v. Richmond

Dayton v. Xavier

Corrected.

[Quality Is Job 1]

Final: Dayton 70, GW 60.

[Quality Is Job 1]

Final: Rhodey 87, St. Joe's 76.

Off the topic a bit (or maybe a lot), the A-10 television deal must be one of the worst in the history of sports. ESPN+ would be much better, as then the games would be available for live viewing or replay via ESPN 360. I've watched a number of Mizzou games after the fact via ESPN 360, but A-10 games are not there. There are smaller conferences which have games available on espn360!

The A-10 would get a lot more pub if we had the TV package of even the Horizon conference.

What a stunning collapse by Charlotte. I think it is time for them to cut ties with Lutz.

Agreed. It's shocking that a league with such major metro areas represented (and decent-to-good-teams in those areas) could not get a better TV deal than this.

It's in the works. The last commissioner was a dipshit, but the times are a-changin'. We're on the up and up, be patient and we'll see our beloved A10 teams on TV soon enough.

Whatever, I wanted to watch Troy-north texas anyway

Round 2:

Temple v. SBU

SLU v. Rhody

UMass v. Richmond

Dayton v. Xavier

To a neutral fan, it doesn't get much better than UD vs. X. I would love to see that game.
