billikenbill Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Not A-10, but Grambling, led by Carte’are Gordon’s 12 points and 5 boards knocks off Vandy 64-62. HoosierPal likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty Light Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Later today there is a Memphis vs Auburn game. As far as rooting interests I think I am pulling for a close victory by Memphis. It's really our only chance of having defeated an At Large tournament selection if Memphis does well from here on out. almaman and Adman like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't count Providence out. They just finished their non-conference schedule with an 8-3 record, with the three losses against good teams (SLU, Miami, TCU). They didn't have any signature wins, but with a long 20-game conference season they'll have plenty of opportunities to make an at-large case for themselves during conference play. That's a luxury SLU doesn't have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think it more likely Memphis makes it then Providence. Hopefully, they both make it and SLU wins the A10 tournament. That would be the optimal outcome.

Lord Elrond Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 They’ll probably have bypassed the A10 for the MVC or the AAC, so it will be their problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slu let the dogs out? Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Duquesne lost by 13 at home today to New Mexico State. Fordham now 10-1. Couldn’t find the other games thread (didn’t look hard) but Maryland currently getting spanked by Tennessee. UPDATE: wow Maryland with a huge 2nd half run to make it a game but end up falling by 3.

No A-10 invite for Iona while playing in a 2500 seat bandbox. You thought Fordham and LaSalle gyms were bad. Iona’s gym is low major. Some D2 gyms are probably bigger.

Correction: The mighty Fordham Rams are 11-1!! Of course, their strength of schedule according to Sagarin sits at 361 out of 363 so a bit misleading. As bad as the A-10 is this year, they might be on their way to a 20-win season. Slu let the dogs out? likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An A-10 fan Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 The league is 31 games over .500 as of Dec. 14 (counting Division-1 games only). I don't know how other mid-major leagues are rated ahead of the A-10 who aren't as far over .500 and don't play the number of road games (percentage wise) this league plays. The A-10 may play their share of "cupcake" opponents, but they have also played quite a few games against quality opposition (not just Saint Louis). I don't understand how the NET rating system has a team like Davidson rated so low with the schedule they have played with half of their first 10 OCC games being on the road. This is a direct statement from the official A-10 website on Dec. 12: "In his most recent bracketology, Jerry Palm of CBS Sports has Dayton and Saint Louis in the field as a single-digit seeds. Additionally, VCU is in the mix as one of the first teams out. Bracket Matrix, which compiles all bracketologists, has six teams in the hunt from the A-10: Davidson, Dayton, Fordham, Loyola, UMass, Saint Louis."

Compton Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Here's a depressing stat, the MAAC will finish non-conference play 5-2 against the A10 after the Bonnies 76-70 loss @ Siena just now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
