HoosierPal Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 @Frazyes our NC State win is stuck in Q3 wedged between our Rhode Island and Indiana State wins. Slim chance that will elevate to Q2 (would have to beat VA and VA Tech), but no chance will it slip to Q4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crewsorlose Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 VCU up to 32. 35 is a nice place to be and I think if SLU routes Dayton and Lasalle, and splits VCU/Richmond, the committee will likely see the post-COVID funk for what it was. Going 3-2 in the next probably plants SLU on the bubble and will require some wins in the A-10 tourney. Bonnies are in a more precarious position, as they probably need to win the next 3 to feel safe going into Brooklyn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be highly satisfied with him missing a last second shot, or Perkins hitting a last second shot for a Billiken win. That stretch, at Dayton, at VCU and Richmond at home is huge. We need 2 of 3, and of course prefer 3 of 3. We still may have a return to Olean. It is floating on our schedule. LaSalle is a must win. We blow that game (or the George Mason 3/2 game) and none of this matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We of course remember the home game last year, but in the game @Dayton last year he was 4-13 and 1-5 from 3 with 4 assists. In 2018-19 we played them three times. He scored 11, 17, 18 and we won 2 of 3. Anything short of a dominant victory @Dayton will be a disappointment to me.

Right now , I am showing The Bills over Day by 1...In the game at RI tomorrow, I have RI by 3 over Day. If Day beats RI tomorrow , our game on Fri would be close to a tossup. The Bills routing Dayton seems unlikely at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compton Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 #32 now. One spot behind VCU. I'd think from this spot we can still lose to either VCU or Richmond and be in a good spot for an at-large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 In 2019 NC State NET 33 and Clemson NET 35 were the 2 highest ranked NET teams not to make the tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Dayton caught us at our most vulnerable time. Given the way we have moved the ball the last 2 games shows we have somewhat recovered to our pre Covid ways. Any word on when Yurimania returns?

The problem there was that the teams didn't have wining records in conference, which the committee likes to see. If SLu drops one to VCU or Richmond they'd end the season 7-3.

Texas got left out with a NET of 38. At least in 2019 the P5 got more screwed based on their NET rankings than programs outside the P5. The Big East’s St. John’s was the one big head scratcher for teams that got in based on NET ranking alone at 73, but they had 5 Q1 wins.

The Wiz Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 With the Bills at A- ....that is good for a bid (90% chance of making it) There are 3 B+ teams...Rich , VCU and St. B....The chances of making it as a B+ team are about 1 in 3 ...which means 1 of these teams would make it. As a side note...I am still showing Davidson has a chance too. Not as good a chance as the above 4....but they are still within striking distance.

Cowboy Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 -I guess it's the ingrained life of Billiken fans but talk about losing games in conference is nonsensical from my view, we are not going to lose -and when things go as I see it, the lowest seed we will be is 7 and I think 5 is more likely and I am not putting a ceiling on how high we can get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crewsorlose Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 NET ranking up to 31. Highest in the conference. KenPom up to 37, also highest in the A-10. If you take out the two post-COVID games, this is a top 20 team by almost every metric. Of the last four games, two are Q 2 and one is Q 1. Win all four and the Bills probably looking at a 7 or 8 seed in most brackets and comfortably in the tourney. Meanwhile, goofs at ESPN list Hyland and Crutcher as front-runners for A-10 POY. Bulletin-board material for Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our destiny is in our own hands and you can't ask for more than that at this point. willie likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseman Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 The announcers last night said if the Bills win out then one has to ask if going to the conf tourney has any advantage. They had a point. Why risk being exposed for no real reason. We would be in the tourney without the conf. tourney. Where you are seeded has some advantages but honestly in this season it may not be that critical - just get in and then win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
