Hurley must have hurled after that mess. St. Joes beats Tx A&M. Good W’s for A10. We got a month to get our act together. 

The A-10 Is good at the top. Three bid league.

If someone other than Dayton and VCU wins the league tourney...

Davidson beat Providence 69- 58.

Dayton also thumped number 2, UCon 85 - 67.

Davidson plays number 3 Gonzaga tonight.

St. Joseph is in next year's Players Era Festival in Vegas.  That's the tourney where each team gets $1 million NIL money and the winner gets an extra piece of the pie.  Gonzaga, Baylor, Michigan, Iowa State, St. John's and Syracuse have also been announced.

Why St. Joe?  One of the event organizers, Seth Berger, "grew up with Coach Lange". 

Look for St. Joe to be successful in the upcoming portal.

so we're in the diamond head classic next year?

After trailing most of the game,  Dayton (A) comes from behind in the 4th quarter to beat Western Mich (F+ ) by 8 pts in a game they were favored to win by 24.5 pts.  I wonder if this every happens to other teams?  There is something familiar about that 8.

We’d all be willing to overlook the occasional “bad win” if we also had wins over UConn and Northwestern, with our only losses being to two ranked teams by a combined 7 points.

Almost every really good team has at least one “bad” win against a much worse team statistically every year, sometimes even a loss to that team. But your point is very well taken, we should be able to balance that with a win over a heavily favored opponent.

I guess we (C+) will just have to beat Dayton (A ) next month.  After all, if an F+ team almost beat them, then we surely have a good chance. That would balance things out.

Beating San Francisco would also be acceptable. To quote yourself: “a good night from the arc and beat them on TOs we can win this game”
