Taj79 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 .... outside of us and Dayton, of course. The Bonnies should crush GeeDub. No question there. Bigger questions if it doesn't happen in Olean tonight. Temple is hosting Duke but the game is at the Wells Fargo Center (pro arena) and not at the Liacouras Center (on campus). Yea, Duke goes to temple just not on campus. Temple has won three in a row by a total of 12 points. May not be pretty. The other three games are interesting, with the visitors all having something to prove .... Xavier is at La Salle where La Salle comes in with the better record 10 - 4 verusus 9 -4 and is undefeated at home (7 - 0) but has only played a litany of lower eschelon East Coast crap schools like Lafayette, Army, Boston U, and Hartford. Xavier is still reeling. Hmmmm -- who to root for, who to root for? Richmond is at Charlotte, with neither school doing much in temrs of making a splash ont he national scene. Charlotte has lost to powerhouses Lamar and east Tennessee State while Richmond is 2 and 4 on the road losing at davidson and UCL but beating Wake at Wake. And then St. Joe's taking its late-uprising in national love to Duquesne where the Dukes are 6 and 1 in their 9 and 5 record. Conversely, St. Joe's, whil e10 and 4, is only 1 and 3 away from Hawk Hill, losing at Iona, American and Harvard. Who's going to rise as the A10 sleeper? Who wins tonight on the road in Pittsburgh or Dayton might answer that question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 It's only Duke's second non-tournament road game, and it's on a neutral floor. Figures. Xavier needs this one, bad. Next one is also on the road, at Fordham, who is probably sitting prettier right now than since we've been in the A10- which, I know, is not saying much. XU should win both; if they don't, there are big, big problems there. St. Joe's should handle Duquesne. St. Bona needs to make a statement that they weren't too overrated and have a strong conference showing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who wins tonight on the road in Pittsburgh or Dayton might answer that question. I think UMass can be a sleeper team this season. They play a very agressive style of defense that leads to tons of steals and quite a few blocked shots. They create a lot of turnovers. I think they can be a 20 win team this season and cause some fits during the conference slate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MusicCityBilliken Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Only an 11 point game with 16 mins left, far from over. I was just watching X-LaSalle game also. The way Frease is played in the 1st 1/2 it appears he is suffering from PTSD from that punch. Now Bills time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
