Cowboy Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 45 minutes ago, HoosierPal said: This is crazy, but I doubt if it is 'illegal'. Drake, or St. Bonnie, might be resume building teams if available. I'd be interested in hearing the A10 and the NCAA comment on this. Where is it written that you cannot schedule anymore games after your conference tourney, particularly if you have a loss and the tourney has this crazy 8 day delay between games. And when we are in the final game, what would prohibit Ford from scheduling a game in that 8 day window between March 6 and March 14. It would keep the team fresh. A Bubble Opponent might jump at the chance. -if I am SLU or whoever we play, I am doing this unless A10 says no Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Winning the next three put us in the 20s. If that happens, a randomly scheduled game would be dangerous. Why play it? If we lose that game it could bounce us right back to the wrong side of the bubble. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Say we lose 2 of our last 3 games, and make it to the A10 title game. Do you play a bubble team then? If its early enough in the week I say yes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If its early enough in the week I say yes. I would only do this if we are confident that we are on the outside looking in and that another win could put us back in the conversation. You never know how the committee will view us. Scheduling another game in any other scenario than what I said above, could backfire and put us out of the tournament when we could be in otherwise.

If its early enough in the week I say yes. There’s just no way the A10 would let you do this. Too much risk that you could run into a contract tracing issue or negative test and all of a sudden mess up the CBS money from the title game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HoosierPal Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 Here is a unique possibility to seed the A10 Tourney, copied off the A10 forum I'm thinking a three tier seeding process for the tournament. Top: Teams that beat LaSalle Middle: Teams that split with LaSalle (including LaSalle) Bottom: Teams that lost to LaSalle Isn't that the way things usually work out anyway?

HoosierPal Posted Saturday at 03:19 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 03:19 PM We lost 15 spots in the NET with last night's disaster. We're now at 47. St. Bonnie is at 44 and VCU 31. Richmond is 59, Davidson 71 and Dayton up to 80. I'd classify VCU at in, and St. B and the Bills as in Bubbleville. Richmond can see the bubble, but they are not on it. OT; Colgate sits at 10 NET and are 9-1. They have played Army 4 times, Holy Cross 4 times and Boston University twice. The Patriot League is playing pods in this screwed up COVID schedule. They do intend to have a League tourney, so my guess is that only the winner gets in the NCAA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HoosierPal Posted Monday at 02:35 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 02:35 PM Through games on 2/21. This is somewhat misleading for SLU. After the next game, or two, we will be at the 60% of median level and will divert to winning %. GW is the only team that won't meet the mark.

HoosierPal Posted Wednesday at 01:56 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 01:56 PM SBUnfurled's spreadsheet is a great display of the A10 Standings as of this morning. Bills tied for 7th, but we have tie breakers over Duquesne and George M. Today we would play George M in the Tourney. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HoosierPal Posted Wednesday at 05:41 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 05:41 PM Interesting possibilities. Back to maybe playing the MVC runnerup? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HoosierPal Posted yesterday at 03:43 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 03:43 AM Crazy time. Here is SBUnfurled's spreadsheet after Wed games. Big mover was George Mason, yes the Patriots, who jumped over the Bills and Dayton and are now 6th. If tonight's standings were final, we would play Dayton. YIKES. Luckily they aren't final.
