Quality Is Job 1 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 2 minutes ago, A10Ref said: Our OOC schedule isn't helping, but for context, Dayton only beat one tournament team last year in their OOC (St. Mary's). Yes, they had OT losses to KU and CU which moved the needle a lot, but with Dayton as an example we just need to win in the conference. I don't expect us to run the table like Dayton did, but I also don't think anyone on here thinks we are a 1 seed. This team is good enough to win a lot of games and get a dangerous seed in the tournament (4-7). I am excited for, hopefully, a massacre tomorrow. Speak for yourself! I think the team should strive for a #1 seed, and I think it's a reasonable and achievable goal, at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a realist to a fault. All I hope is we are nowhere near Baylor in the bracket. If y'all watched that game against the Illini... my goodness those guys can ball. A 1 seed would definitely assure that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is an interesting point. It certainly can't hurt to have a marquee player(s) that gets folks nationally to pay attention to your squad.

I know this might be an unfair comparison, but think about how much national attention Murray State got with Ja Morant leading their team. I’m not sure Perk will end up being an NBA lottery pick, but I also think our team as a whole is a lot better than Murray State’s was.

The bball decison makers have already made "adjustments" that lower the ranking potential for teams that play bad nonconference schedules. The NET rankings have been streamlined to include only two components, quality of opponent and adjusted efficiency ranking. https://wtop.com/ncaa-basketball/2020/05/ncaa-streamlines-net-rankings-for-tournament-selection/ To me, this reads like a team that would have gotten a 5 seed last year will be pushed down to an 8 seed this year.

We would have been better off staying in a truck stop's men's room. What years did you play SLU Lax? I played from 2009-2012. Tried PM'ing you but it didnt work.

Have to win that Minn game. And then lose only 1 or 2 in conf play to wake them up. Do we have to lose 1 or 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I coached for 6 years from 2004-2010 (if I remember the timeframe correctly) then had kids. I later came back and helped a bit. We share the same first name and I once sent you to join a DePaul huddle because I was annoyed the decided to huddle on our half of the field.

courtside Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 For fun, we'll see what voters say this week. Last week 21 AP voters ranked SLU in Top 25. 42 did not. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch' Dave Matter had SLU ranked 18th last week. Ranges were 18-25 at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until we play Minnesota, we have no games that would justify a jump in the rankings. We just have to take care of business and wait for the teams ahead of us to lose.
