They've still got three games against top 100 opponents but now they either have to 1) win all three or 2) finish at the top of the A-10 standings to remain in the at-large conversation.

Option 1 is done.  The Flyers are down to Option 2.

Fingers crossed option 2 fades away so we have room to do it

Dayton is blowing a game they were up 16 in.

Smith looks to have re-injured his ankle as well. Terrible last few days for Dayton. 

[brianstl]

And Smith just got hurt.

Looks really bad.

Final BYU 79-Dayton 75. Looks like Dayton lost all 3 in the Battle 4 Atlantis

So you saying we should run the table? Or do the Bills suck too?

Going away too.  That is a great win.  Schmidt just coaches his ass off.

We do this every year in the non-con and then they end up getting 3 bids.

Schmidt is slowly getting his team to gel. Likely they were undervalued in the preseason poll. He running a 7 to 8 man rotation but still has two averaging over 37 mpg.

Maryland 95 - Coppin State 79

Maryland 95 - SLU 67

We’re only 12 points worse than Coppin State so it might not be fair to say we suck.

Didn't he run a 5 man rotation last year? Seems he's spreading the minutes out more.

Ah yes, board darling Mark Schmidt. His team entered last season in the Top 25 and as the consensus pick to win the league. By mid-December, his team had crapped the bed and they were out of contention for an at-large for the rest of the season. Meanwhile, Ford who catches his share of heat on this board, loses the preseason conference player of the year to start the season, but proceeds to lead his team to a better year than Schmidt's team had.

Fair point - Schmidt's resume has been more consistent than Ford in the A10.  Now who knows what the future holds.

Big day for the A10 so far…

Not exactly top competition for the A-10 on today’s schedule.

[Old guy]

Maybe not, but look at the teams Auburn has beaten this year, Winthrop (234 TR ranking), TX Southern (244 TR ranking), these are not great. Then come George Mason (151 TR ranking), S. Florida (188 TR ranking), and Bradley (131 TR ranking), these are decent teams but not top 100 ranking. The only team they have defeated this season in the top 100 was Northwestern (60 TR ranking), and they barely beat them by a single point, 7 points below the spread for the game. Do you see this as a stellar set of victories? And yet, they are considered to be high up in the pack this season.

[CenHudDude]

What were the TR rankings for the four teams which lost to A-10 teams today - Binghamton, New Hampshire, Queens University, and Kennesaw State?  I think you will find them worse than Auburn’s schedule thus far.
