Pistol Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 There's no way this team goes anywhere in the Tournament. Safe to say I won't be wasting any money to travel to see them limp to an early-round loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NH Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 This is who this team is. We will have gone 12-4 or maybe 13-3 in conference play. We will be a 5-8 seed. In my opinion that is who this team is. Just because most of our wins happened to come in a row doesn't change that. Let's hope we can get healthy and strive for two wins in the tourney.

Bay Area Billiken Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 SLU led 42-32 and again couldn't finish off a team. SLU shot a 3 up 10 points, missed, and back came UD. I do not understand how SLU's attempt to call time out after a SLU made basket in the final half minute (33 seconds) was denied by the ref. My recollection is that cost SLU 5 seconds and forced SLU to foul with 27 seconds left. With all the problems, SLU missed 10 free throws, and at least 2 front ends of 1&1's. And yet, SLU clinches the #1 seed in the A10 Tournament and at least a tie for the regular season A10 Championship, with SLU holding the tiebreaker over St. Joe's.

Bay Area Billiken Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Time out calling is frowned upon. SLU can't even get the A10 refs to give it the timeout when SLU's whole coaching staff tried to call one. I can't recall ever seeing that before. How can the ref deny a timeout after a made basket?

BigMouthBilliken Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 UMass is another "grind it out" game and honestly I don't think the guys have it in them. They need to rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bay Area Billiken Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I'd be fine with resting everyone v Umass. There's no point to that game really. It is relevant for NCAA seeding. The coaching staff needs to watch the RPI closely between tonight and Sunday. Also use RPIForecast as to what SLU's RPI would be with a road win at UMass. You really don't want to go into the conference tournament with 4 straight losses, and potentially into the NCAA Tournament with 5 straight losses. This being said, the point is well taken. I seriously wonder if SLU can win the first game of the NCAA Tournament with Jett and Evans both hobbling. We know the good Billikens could make the elusive Sweet 16. This (whether to rest the players) is quite a dilemma for the coaching staff. My gut is Crews will NOT rest the starters on Sunday at UMass. The players themselves will no doubt be against it.

68Alum Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I'm not going to fault the team. I'm not feeling too good about JC's game management. Starters consistently on the floor too many minutes. Now they're worn out and beat up and the bench had the talent to contribute much more. Could be a short tournament run. Now the seniors graduate and we start out next year with green starters.

We better hope Ash is electric. Don't think any of the Incomers are dynamic offensive players. We could really use McCaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMM28 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 My point is the seed doesn't matter if these injuries are lingering or worse. Without 100% from Dwayne and Jordair, were ducked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. Tough call. I think Crews will play both, if they are cleared to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
