brianstl Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 St. Joe is the team of the top few seeds I want to see. They don't have the depth to out-athlete us.+1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDKAT Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Whooooooooo Hooooooooo! 2 seed baby. Thank you LaSalle. It just got way easier. We're both going to the title game!!! I was at that snow nasty LaSalle game where VCU snuck out with the W. Don't ever count that team out. Let's smack it down in the final guys and gals!!!! Can't be happier. I'd really rather us not having to play St. Joes. Galloway is a beast. Can't wait for Friday!!!! I got the Lux Box seats all weekend gratis. It's gonna be an epic tourney with a lot of teams that can win it. You guys just got your 5 seed. We may have the same. So cool for the A10!!!!!!

Quality Is Job 1 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Rob Loe's expression after the jump ball reminds me of the Scream mask! And, why are UMass' uniforms light blue? They were gray. The color balance of the video was off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I really like our chances against either St Joe or Dayton playing for the third day in a row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
For-DaLove Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 This had me really questioning Crews. I agree, but who knows what was drawn up there...I'm going to say it most likely wasn't that. Probably supposed to be an iso for JJ, anticipating a drive, but he took the jumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kshoe Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 La Salle wins. Makes SJU and Dayton the #4 and #5 seeds on SLU's side of the bracket. This sucks. St. Joes is very much back on the bubble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 This sucks. St. Joes is very much back on the bubble. Exactly, what I was thinking. I want them in. Still, if someone pulls a St. B in the tourney, we still may have a shot at 6 as long as St.Joe's is the victim to the St. B surprise.

The potential Dayton/st joes 4/5 game projects as an NCAA tourney play-in game. Tough to see the loser of that game still being on the right side of the bubble.

smithchad660 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Great win, I didn't think you had it in you, but Jett has got be one of the most clutch players in college basketball right now. Everybody and their mom knew what was coming, and still nobody could stop it. Hopefully, that win will save you in the rankings, it would be awesome for an A10 final with SLU and VCU being ranked. Congrats on being champs for the 2nd time, have a beer, and try not to get too sloppy, there is still work to be done!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay Area Billiken Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 The potential Dayton/st joes 4/5 game projects as an NCAA tourney play-in game. Tough to see the loser of that game still being on the right side of the bubble. St. Joe's RPI is 41; Dayton's RPI is 39. That should get both in, but you may well be right if the NCAA subtracts the 6th A10 team to make room for some BCS also ran like Mizzou, Florida State, or Cal, or a Big East below the line middler like Providence or St. John's, or Georgetown. But I think Georgetown must win the Big East Tournament to get IN. I could see the NCAA giving the Big East or ACC one more team and subtract that team from the A10's 6. Other A10 RPI's: VCU 13, UMass 17, SLU 18, GW 30. I'm really happy and relieved that SLU won today at UMass. I didn't want to SLU to enter the A10 Tournament with 4 losses. This big road win as an underdog at UMass makes up somewhat for the Duquesne home loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay Area Billiken Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Otherwise I am pleased with SLU's A10 Tournament Bracket. In large measure, SLU is in the Catholic Side Upper Bracket: 1- SLU, 4- St. Joe's, 5- Dayton, 8- LaSalle, 9- St. Bona. The Lower Bracket houses 2 VCU, 3 GW, 6 UMass, 7 Richmond, and 11 URI. VCU and GW split in the regular season, each winning on its home court. I like having VCU, GW, and UMass in the Lower Bracket, and farther away from (our) Billikens. By the way, the Dayton fans at udpride.com are happy with the Billikens' win too, as SLU's win catapulted UD over UMass and into the 5th seed.

Tough to see the loser of that game still being on the right side of the bubble. This is the way I see it also. SJU's loss to LaSalle was a killer for them and the league. Probably only 4 get in now - especially with the usual upsets hat occur in the one bid leagues, there is always a 2-3 suprises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLU, VCU, GW and UMass are locks. The only way we don't get 5 is if Dayton loses its opener to the 12/13 seed, then that same team beats st joes.

Draw up something better than that.What play do we have that works better than a JJ iso or pick and roll? I'll answer it for you - we don't.

That creates really our 3 main scoring chances. 1--JJ to the rack. 2--P/R to Dwayne 3--Kickout to Junya/Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
