cheeseman Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 At this point if we are ranked 24 who we play is not the issue for making the dance. All we have to do is beat those teams we do play - period. I understand people want the highest seeding but given how crazy the year has been for teams just get into the dance and worry about all the other stuff later. Quote

Yes ...We need to play 5 more games Quote

Since the conference season started, the A10 hasn't had a single day when there wasn't at least one of the 14 on pause. Quote

Seeding is huge. The last thing we want is to be on the 8/9 line and get Baylor/Gonz in the 2nd round. If we just win, I think our reputation as a very good team this season will get us a 6 or better seed. bauman 1 Quote

Anything but 8/9. The only teams I am afraid of are Zags/Baylor. slufanskip 1 Quote
FromDaEastSide Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 Enterprise Center is increasing capacity to 1,400/18,096 which is 7.7%. I would assume than Chaifetz will be bumped up for the next games as well from the 300 last night. 7.7% of 10,600 is 820. Fan Guy, cgeldmacher and HoosierPal 3 Quote
courtside Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 I saw this stat about SLU. The Billikens are top 50 in Ken Pomeroy adjusted offense, and adjusted defense.(Points you score and points you give up per 100 possessions) The only non Power 5/Big East schools doing this are SLU, Gonzaga, Loyola Chicago, Houston.

Taj79 Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 Not surprising. Short of publicity what does it matter in this season of horrors. Quote

When you dont play, and the one time you do, you lose, you cant expect it to look good. Just start playing and it'll look better. hmart23 1 Quote

SLU_Lax Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 Brutal. Left out. Loyola in the PIG. LSU gets an at large. Quote
bauman Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 Hopefully Team Blue sees all these predictions and RESPONDS on the court. Obviously we have a lot of work to do. Remember just a couple weeks ago we were # 10 in the NET, ranked in the top 25 for 3 or 4 weeks, and considered the best mid-major by most writers! Quote

The good thing is that we have the opportunity to get back to where we were. It’s February 2nd and we haven’t fallen far off the bracket. A dominant win over the Bonnies (just like we did last season with an inferior team) puts us right back where we want to be. Quote

This is a joke I always thought it was weird that Katz never had the bills ranked very high, even relative to the other rankings out there. He definitely punished the bills for not playing. While we were #21 in the country, he had the bills at #35 in his “power 36” Quote
brianstl Posted February 6, 2021 Posted February 6, 2021 LaPhonso Ellis just said the Billikens are still going to win the A-10 and make the Sweet Sixteen. Let’s hope he is correct. Quote
