A10 Men's Tourney Thread

[slu92]

I know Chris May said Travis Ford will be at SLU for a long time….if we lose in A10’s and don’t make NCAA do we really keep Travis? I was thinking about this today…Travis makes more per year than Berube and Marmol. It’ll be 1 NCAA appearance in 7 years at $2.5 million a year. Everyone questioned if Crews could recruit and he couldn’t, the knock on Travis is he could recruit but wasn’t a very good in game coach. Do we only keep him because we think he’s as good as we can get?

Is it really necessary for every thread to be hijacked with this, Steve?

I’m not trying to hijack anything. Please remove it if I violated asking a question related to A10’s this week.

George Mason needs to be very aware of Richmond.  They played twice, GM winning by 4 at home and by 2 at the Robbins Center.  If Burton is having an Isabell revival, look out.

on the thread title.

We can win it if the team that beat Dayton, beat Providence or beat Memphis shows up three games in a row.  That team is pretty damn good.

0% chance we win the A10 tourney. Stop it.

The announcers for the earlier games sounded like they were in outer space covering a different, unnamed sport, I would have hoped that would have changed, but this is USA Networks today and tomorrow

They're looking through the Palantir in Gondor.

Davidson fairly easy over St. B.  They next play VCU, who beat the Wildcats by 2 at the end of January.  Davidson is on a run, winning 5 of 6.

Of all the players on the floor for both teams, only Loyer is out of eligibility.  But the swinging door could easily make both teams different next season.

Exactly.

It's only been a few minutes but wow these teams look bad. 

[billikenfan05]

There's nothing that says 50s basketball like watching a center dribble to a waiting defender in the post and backing him down.

Would we rather have a wing that kills us, or a big that kills us? Thinking playing Richmond is still the preferred.  

[stmdragons]

Neal Quinn is absolutely dominating Oduro right now.

Its us. we're the problem.  Oduros best game this year and last year were both against us.

Not sure I want play a team on an emotional quest to win a championships for their ailing coach. Although 3 games in 3 days might use up that emotion.

[billikenfan05]

How do you adjust for Quinn?

English: He's getting to his right hand, we we we just gotta guard him better.

meh.  We thought the same the night we lost to them that they were gonna play strong for their coach at home, maybe they did. They went on to lose 3 straight including losing to the joeys by 16 with out Obinna and Klaczek

Yea, we want Richmond so much more than we want to see GMU.  Oduro absolutely owns us.

I just don't have a preference. I do think we beat either team tomorrow. That being said, I don't feel like Oduro can beat us himself, Burton can.
