BilliesBy40 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I only see one reference to Xavier vs. Davidson on Twitter, and it’s a SLU fan account referencing the rumor. Where else is it mentioned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NH Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 The problem with SLU Xavier is that it’s not a Q1 game for SLU unless it’s at Xavier. If it’s at Xavier, it becomes a Q2 game for the Musketeers. if they go play at Davidson, that’s a Q1 game for Xavier (so theoretically better on a resume than a neutral site win vs. SLU - though it’s impossible to know how the committee really values all these designations) A10Ref likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was you who said this yesterday but our fate probably comes down to what happens in the MWC tournament. If we could even get one of Boise St, Colorado St, and Utah St to lose today, it would be a big help but preferably 2 of them lose. Ideally we get total chaos but trying to be realistic. wgstl likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally we get a couple to lose and then play one of them Saturday. Like playing a Boise or Utah st far more than Xavier (finished the season with a bunch of losses and is all but dead for ncaa) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufan13 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Villanova loses and now the winner of St John's and Seton Hall will play Georgetown. Takes away a quality win but gives them a path to the conference championship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franchise_08 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 These tournaments are ridiculously skewed for the P5 conferences. Bilas had a great thought to pick the top 68 before the conference tournament and drop off the bottom teams if there is an upset tournament winner. It would give the regular more weight and level the playing field. The P5 get extra games to improve their standing while the other conferences only get hurt. Why does Syracuse now get into the tournament when they beat a team that was lower seed and they beat twice already? Doesn’t seem like it’s Syracuse every year that is in question?

Didn’t feel the needle, didn’t have arm soreness, didn’t have any follow up trouble. Crazy how different individual responses are- but what I think is really cool- they’ve made needles so insanely sharp now- that aside from big needle that are for I’ve and such- you really can’t feel them! I’m a diabetes educator. A big piece of my job is introducing insulin and helping people get over the fear of needles they acquired from movies when they were young. They aren’t like the movies. majority of people are like “oh! ... was that it?! Didn’t even feel it!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boeheim is always complaining and they inevitably get in the first four or 10-12 seed seemingly year in and year out (or three times in the last six years) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's his birth right. All Syracuse has to do every year is show up with 5 jerseys, and they are in. Their record isn't even discussed by the Committee.

Yes, and it's because Boeheim almost never plays anyone of any salt in the non-conference away from home. Yesterday he was whining about the Quad 1 home games his team were to play that were cancelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've said this a few times, and although I love the hate, it's not exactly true. Syracuse missed the tournament in 2015 and 2017 with similar resumes to what they have this season. I think they'll get in this year, but it's not a given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a lot of sloppy ball for a few days which vaccine did you have? My wife and I have each had 2 doses of Pfizer. This Saturday will be two weeks after the second dose. The only reaction either of us has had was a little arm soreness after the first dose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
