slu72 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Better than expected. Had we lost, pretty sure we would have dropped out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmith19 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 With VCU at #25. Think we have to hope for a Sunday match-up with the Rams. A victory there could give us a solid bump in seeding. UMass still has a better RPI than VCU...a second win over them would be a pretty good bump too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmith19 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Does the AP do another poll before Selection Sunday, or do they stick to Monday releases? Just the Postseason one on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithchad660 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 You only fell one spot despite losing 3 of last 4, I'd say the voters are showing you some respect. I figured you'd be in the low 20s. VCU @ 23 and rpi up to 13 and if we get some revenge on UMass in the 2nd game, our rpi might break single digits if those in front lose. Gonna be another great A10 final. Last years game came down to the wire, and it was a pair of Mitchell/Ellis 3's that sealed it. I think it will be even closer this year. Two teams that have trouble scoring, but play great defense. First one to 60 wins. Glad to seee both programs, and the league, getting thier due. Whoever wins this tourney probably gets a #4 seed. A lot to play for.

So far I think our record against teams we've already played this year is 0-3. This tournament is going to be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills By 40 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Does the AP do another poll before Selection Sunday, or do they stick to Monday releases? If only... With VCU at #25. Think we have to hope for a Sunday match-up with the Rams. A victory there could give us a solid bump in seeding. Or UMass. Both very solid teams. SLU was ranked 10th in the AP before losing 3 of 4. That's 8 spots if my math is correct. Hehehe +1 So far I think our record against teams we've already played this year is 0-3. This tournament is going to be interesting. Exactly why I'm worrisome for the A10, but extremely confident for the NCAA tourney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the more reason to want to kick your assess in the A10 Tourney. While you and the VCU crew who've invaded this board aren't the classiest of folks, the UMass team and fans make you and silent bob look like attendees to high tea at Buckingham Palace......I hope they get bounced early by the worst team possible.......

We were jobbed a good bit in the first half especially. The only call I'd cry about would be the Loe jump ball call at the end of the game. It was the right call but you never get that call on the road.....certainly not in the A10...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the Sunday game will matter much for seeding. It seems the committee has already decided seeding (other than surprise automatic qualifiers) by the time the Sunday games finish.

Bay Area Billiken Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I guess they got alumni living in the Bay area. Here, here. The refs were completely even handed, had no effect on the outcome of the game whatsoever ... That was a good jump ball call on Loe's block.

billikenfan05 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I thought it was an unbelievable jump ball call! To have the stones to make that call (the right call) against the home team should be commended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
