cheeseman Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 You will without a doubt move up with good wins vs VCU and GWU. SDS is starting to fade badly. Everyone has figured them out. We need to win out to get back into the top 25. Tall order, but it can be done. Even a 4-1 finish should get us a bye. The A10 tourney is going to be a dogfight. Really too bad we don't get return games from SJ and UMASS. Likely will get one of those games in the tourney. Funny thing. The A10 is much stronger this year with the departure of Butler and X. I love it!!! You are right about the A10 - I would not have taken that bet before the season started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JettFlight5 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 You are right about the A10 - I would not have taken that bet before the season started Getting rid of Butler was a positive. They're almost as good as Fordham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwayne's_World Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Getting rid of Butler was a positive. They're almost as good as Fordham. You really have to feel for butler fans right now. Their program got shafted when Stevens left, and I think they knew it would eventually happen when the $$$ came along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only go to the well so many times before it is dry - they kept elevating asst coaches and eventually they would be forced to do so before one was ready. The BE may be wishing they made another decision although lets not speak to soon we have no idea what kind of a team we will have next year.

Clock_Tower Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Why do I have to feel sorry for butler? Coaches leave all the time. Our coach left and then died and we responded by winning the a10 twice in a row. No, butler is finding out what its like to play in a good conference where you can and will lose if you dont play well and where you cannot hide and quietly rebuild while rolling up wins over chicago loyola and then automatically qualify for the tourney by being the best of a bad conference.

White Pelican Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I wasn't happy they got the invite to the BE but I'm really glad we spanked them repeatedly in their only year in the A10 while Stevens was still the coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my thought too. Rick Majerus passed away, and SLU has played great basketball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
