No idea if thats a little or a lot, especially compared to other seasons but seems like a good amount. Actually our SOS was 96, not that bad. That November tourney in NY helped a lot. The A10 was weak this year with 5 teams having over 200 rpi rankings with another real close. We ended at 148, an improvement of 90 positions from last season. Got to hand it to TF.

Therefore, SLU has $150k minimum from this year's tournament (3 games to be played) and each additional win by an A-10 school adds $30k because it means an A10 school will play another game. Any additional A10 wins at this point would be fairly large upsets. 24 minutes ago, RiseAndGrind said: Oh, right. Duh. Should have thought about my statement for more than 2 seconds. thanks. Rise, your statement was fine. We had $90k just for the 3 teams getting in, and are up an additional $60k so far with nobody getting knocked out. Obviously not huge $ amounts. The more intangible, but probably as important, aspect is that the A10 will continue to be in peoples mind and next year when we (or someone else) are on the bubble, they'll get the benefit of the doubt. And/or recruits will view the A10 as a good conference that plays in the NCAA. It keeps us relevant.

billikenfan05 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 The announcers in the Loyola game referred to their team chaplain. Does anyone know when and why we stopped having a chaplain after Grollmes passed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBFan Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 Loyola wins way to go Porter on a big win and I picked this upset in my brackets. Could not find a 5 12 upset but it might be Ohio State and South Dakota State. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianstl Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 If Loyola can find a way to keep Porter, they could really build something nice in the Valley. The Gentile Arena is a nice facility and DePaul is always going to be a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can certainly make a good argument you’d rather have Porter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
