Slu let the dogs out? Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 56 minutes ago, Lando Griffin said: Why only 1? It would be in their best interest to fill it. Xavier, St Johns, and Duke all lost tonight blowing up the bubble a bit. However an out of sight out of mind situation for SLU rihjt now does not help. They need to see if they can find another W. Good question. I know there’s a cap on total games allowed but we clearly haven’t come close to hitting that number. If it’s a combo of non-conference and conference games we should be able to play more than one game but if there’s a cap on non-con games perhaps it is 9 (since we’ve played 8)?

Bay Area Billiken Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Root for Loyola, and moreover a Loyola blowout Win over Drake in the Valley Final today. Drake received a huge gift by that UNI “no contest” de facto bye in the Valley Quarterfinals Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufan13 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 As others have said, I think it was unlikely but possible we could make the tournament with a loss yesterday. The blowout was the nail in the coffin though I think. I would expect our NET to fall into the 40s although LSU win maybe helped yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will come down to whether the selection committee gives us a pass on the COVID hangover. If there's three teams that come out of the A10, we're the third team. There aren't any other candidates.

Bay Area Billiken Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 SLU NET is 44, a negative dip from 36 post-Bona game. But 44 is still in the ballpark. Root for Loyola today, and for Loyola to win big today, over 40 Drake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s a combo of non-conference and conference games we should be able to play more than one game but if there’s a cap on non-con games perhaps it is 9 (since we’ve played 8)? So I tried to look it up and found this. “The Division I Men’s and Women’s Basketball Oversight Committees on Monday reaffirmed their positions on reducing by four the maximum number of games that teams can play in the upcoming 2020-21 season. In men’s basketball, teams can compete in a maximum of 25 regular-season games if a team does not participate in a multiple-team event; 25 regular-season games and one multiple-team event that includes up to two games; or 24 regular-season games and one multiple-team event that includes up to three games.” What I can’t tell from the SLU schedule is if there was a tournament in there. I don’t think there was so that leaves them at 20 total games with a 14-6 record so they have some room? Takes two to tango of course.

Lando Griffin Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 3 teams that need a win today the most: Mich State (hosting Mich); Memphis (at Houston) and Drake in title game (vs Loyola). For Drake this will ease all stress on Selection Sunday. 3 teams that SLU needs to lose today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsBeliever!!! Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 If Drake loses to Loyola, they will be 1-2 in Q1 games, all against Loyola, including being blown out twice. Q3 losses at Bradley and Valpo. No idea why some people think they are a lock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
