cgeldmacher Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 I keep seeing people talk as if we would be playing VCU or Dayton early in the bracket. I thought that we would be on the Bonaventure/Davidson side of the bracket. So, I looked it up. If this bracket is correct, we would not see VCU or Dayton until the finals.

For me, all of the Top 4 are tough teams. We don't have a distinct advantage over any of them, and none of them have a distinct advantage over us. Sure, there are personal preferences, but bottom line, all of those 4 present a tough game. We have to play 3 of them to win it all. Just bring 'um on.

If Dayton makes the final, it's basically the 2019 Revenge Bracket in reverse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownwolves Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 IF and only if St Bonaventure University wins the A10 Conference - there will be four teams going to the Big Dance. The Bonnies Davidson Dayton VCU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay Area Billiken Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Sagarin via his overall, season wide Ratings, has SLU losing to VCU by a scant .38 point in the A10 Tourney Championship Game, so pick 'em. This includes SLU beating St. Bona by 1.37, rounded to 1 point, and SLU beating Davidson by .26 point. Sagarin's Recent Ratings has SLU losing by .69, rounded to 1, to St. Bona. Sagarin's Recent Ratings has Dayton winning the A10 Tourney by 1.85 rounded to 2 points over Davidson. Haslametrics has SLU beating St. Bona by 1.5 points, rounded to 2, and losing to Davidson by 2. Haslametrics has Dayton winning the title by .58 point, rounded to 1 over Davidson. One metric has VCU winning, two have Dayton winning. Interestingly, none of the three have #1 Seed Davidson winning, and the BAB Eye Test concurs. In none of these metrics are the St. Bona 5 ironmen winning the A10 Tournament, and none of them have the Bonnies making the A10 Championship Game. Two of the three have the Bonnies losing to our Billikens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends more on the refs, do they let them play or call it tight. Compton likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ever again) Good bye. ACE " I'm not sure how any Bonawelding fan can be happy with the regular season that they've had ". Ace why do still TROLL the welding thing? Very childish on your part. And as for the season the Covid thing took its toll on the Team, the University and the Greater Olean Community. Then. before the resent VCU game, the Flu went through the team and VCU won.

His status for today's game is unknown. He was their best player in 2 games against us this year. I was about 60-40 in my preference to play La Salle over St. Joe's but if he's banged up it's probably more like 70-30 and if he can't go it's 85-15.

Pistol Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 2 minutes ago, wgstl said: I Will not be the least surprised if RI wins 2. Me neither, although the Richmond-Rhody game this year was a super weird one. URI was up 39-26 at half and Richmond proceeded to outscore them 44-24 in the second half to win by 7. Based on what we saw from URI recently, I'm not totally surprised. Richmond seems like a decent matchup for them, but because URI plays with no focus, discipline, cohesiveness, or discernible game plan, teams can adjust and beat them. Plus, if this is the last year of Richmond's very old, experienced roster that we've all come to know so well, they have a lot more to play for. This is a really interesting bracket to me this year.

Its very weird. you have what feels like the 3 best teams, Davidson, VCU and UD. And then you have SLU who may have the highest ceiling on any given night. And then Richmond and the Bonnies who were underwhelming this year but hold the most experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You misspelled “stain” as “wolves”. on an actual basketball note, I’ve talked myself into Mason or Fordham stunning Davidson. They have a game to get in a rhythm, Davidson doesn’t shoot well in an NBA style arena, both Mason and Fordham have played Davidson tough at different times this season.

Cowboy II Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 -according to the guide on DirecTV this morning the A10 championship game is again on CBS, so as to not cause confusion why does the A10 list it as being on "CBS Sports"? yes, the games on Saturday are listed as being broadcast by "CBS Sports Network" just wondering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
