Bay Area Billiken Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 In an only in the A10 battle cry: GO DUKES! The fate of our Billikens, based in St. Louis, West of the Mississippi, could be decided in Pittsburgh, PA, as Jay Randolph would say, where the Allegheny meets the Monongahela to form the Ohio, in, as Marty Brennaman would say, the titanic struggle between UMass of Amherst, Massachusetts and the Home Team, Duquesne.

And after the Dayton game...the next 2 teams we may play could be DQ followed by VCU and then finishing with Dayton...as Yogi Berra use to say ...It is Deja Vu all over again.

Yes. I still want to beat Dayton Friday, and retake and bring to its rightful home the prestigious Arch Baron Cup. But VCU is warned: It is difficult to beat a good team 3 times. How's that for finding the silver lining in tonight's dark cloud? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's that for finding the silver lining in tonight's dark cloud? After last night’s thrashing, we could play VCU 100 times, and if Kern and Baldwin were injured, we might win one. They are just way more athletic and better-coached. Schasz likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufan13 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 It is hard to beat a good team 3 times in a season. I'm not so sure we qualify as a good team though. Still, I'd love another game with them because at least it means we weren't one and done in Brooklyn and have a chance to make a run Bizziken likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why but think I'll watch the Dukes tonight. The Double Bye Clinched? thread say Dukes win and SLU has the double bye clinched tweeted from several sources that should be in the know. So will trust this is in fact true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If SLU and DUQ finish in a two way tie, SLU gets the double bye by virtue of the first tiebreaker, winning the head to head matchup over DUQ.

It really can not be that complicated. Tie breakers are different for two way and three way ties. Toggle thru the calculator I just posted and it explains the tie breakers. Or just wait until tonight’s games are over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
