2016-17 Games of note:

[RamodWaleskowski]

I have never found myself pulling for Rhody as hard as I am today. In fact I think it is very crucial to our conference tourney run. If VCU goes down UD controls its own destiny with a chance to clinch the league outright with a win on Wednesday. Even more important....

Would love to have VCU and Rhody as the 2 and 3 seeds in the conference tourney. A Rhody win takes that one step closer. I do not want to see either of those 2 teams until the finals. The 2 teams I do not want to see us open up with in the quarters is Lasalle and St.Bonny.

	Rhode Island RHODE ISLAND The University of Rhode Island was chartered as the state's agricultural school in 1888. The school became the Rhode Island College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in 1892. Located in southern Rhode Island, URI is a quintessential New England campus - rural in feeling yet close to the city of Providence, the state's capital. Linked to the city, the beaches, and nearly every corner of the state by both rail and public transit, the campus is easily accessible from Boston and New York URI currently offers 100 majors in seven degree-granting colleges. There are more than 12,000 students on the Kingston campus, about 3,000 in Providence, and a complement of about 700 faculty. Fellow members of the A10 Conference. Nickname is the Rams.

	LaSalle LA SALLE In 1863, La Salle University was established through the legacy of St. John Baptist de La Salle and the Christian Brothers teaching order, which De La Salle founded 300 years ago. Located in Philadelphia, La Salle is an educational community shaped by traditional Catholic and Lasallian values. La Salle's main campus is an ideal place for students to pursue an education. The 130-acre park-like setting includes 54 buildings and is located approximately six miles from Center City Philadelphia. The University can accommodate 2,114 resident students in its 12 residence halls, two apartment complexes, and 75 townhouses. Fellow members of the A10 Conference. Nickname is the Explorers. Notable athletes include Tom Gola and Lionel Simmons.

And ESPN cuts away to the Clemson FL St game because 4-11 bubble Clemson is in a close one. Disgusting.

That was the craziest thing I've ever seen. No idea what ESPN was doing there.

12:05 left in the first half and both teams are already in the bonus. This game is going to be a FT contest with several players fouling out by the end of it. Ugly game so far.

14-12 Rhody

Andre Berry sighting for Rhody. I don't think he's played since he didn't miss a single shot and scored 15 points at UD last year.

Also this game is horribly ugly.

VCU up 32-29 2:42 left in the half.

VCU wants this style of game don't they? They would be thrilled to come in here on Wednesday and have a game with 30 total fouls per half with no offensive flow.

Rhody now up 51-38. I think I want them to win this one, b/c it makes our 2 wins over them look that much better (2nd level points). The only downside is, that will mean VCU will show-up Wednesday figuring their season could be on the line. Few things fight like a cornered animal.

Rhody now only up 51-44, they are getting 3 point shooting happy -- shooting 3s with 25 seconds left in shot clock off balance from NBA range.

I hate the Rhode Island offense. VCU has great defense, but I literally do not understand what they are trying to accomplish offensively. Screens are poor, players run around the screens versus off them, etc., etc. Bunch of 1 on 1s. When they are patient, don't accomplish anything for first 10-15 seconds of shot clock as dribble at top of key. It reminds me of the aimless BG offensive sets.

VCU is going to play hard Wednesday regardless of what happens today. Rhody winning keeps them in the top 50 of the RPI and means UD can win the conference title Wednesday night. You should be cheering for Rhody

We all know Rhody's coaching is shaky at best. Archie would accomplish far more with those players.

Rhody, stop passing the ball around the perimeter and jacking a 3 with 5 seconds left on the shot clock, VCU has 7 fouls, please drive to the hoop.

Awful call on Rhody with 5:02 left, defensive player in legal guarding position and call push?!?!?!

48 fouls called in the game, 24 each and 5 minutes to go.

YES, Rhody now driving the the bucket. Rhody is up 59-53 with 4:30 to go. But all 5 starters have 4 fouls.

LOCK IT UP Wednesday

[AZFlyer85]

VCU has no firepower to come back when down by 10;

Nice to see Tillman absent from the court in second half

[redbengal]

This sets up effectively a battle for the A-10 crown Wednesday in the DDD. Rhody is primed to go 13-5 in the A-10. Gets them back in the bubble picture and gives us 2 sure Top 50 wins. Also means we don't have to beat Rhody AND VCU to win the tournament. Let them battle hard for the right to play us in the Final.

How do you figure we will not have to beat Rhody and VCU to win the tourney? If we end up the 1 seed, will more than likely play the winner of 4/5 Rhody / St Bonny game in semis, then finals be against VCU. Richmond almost has the 3 seed locked up if my math is correct. As I mentioned in another thread, it might be a blessing in disguise come tournament time if we ended up the #2 seed and did not have to beat either Rhody or St Bonny for a third time, instead beating Richmond in the semis to get to the finals.

I was thinking the same thing. They really have some big, athletic players, but their offensive schemes are awful - mostly perimeter passing and then slinging up a 3-ball...very sloppy.

Regardless, make it 2 years in a row, boys! Clinch the title against VCU on your home court!

Agree for A-10 Tourney, but rather beat VCU home and have tougher path in A-10 Tourney. Beat VCU and Dayton near a lock.

#23 Creighton lost earlier. Of course #26 lost today as well. Iowa State probably moves in with their win over Baylor. We'd have to leapfrog South Carolina and USC as well as Northwestern. Of course, all three of those squads had a loss this week. I would not be surprised to see us sneak in at #25.

This is simple- in the A10 there is room for only one bull. I'm glad VCU lost today, and I look forward to futher crushing their hopes for a A10T title Wednesday. If they can limp in to the NCAAT after that then bless them as that's great for the league.

If VCU loses to UD, they will still get in by beating George Mason on regular season finale and one game in A10 tournament.

Northwestern on the other hand, will get the benniffit of the doubt if they are even remotely close to NCAA AT-LARGE Cut-line, because it just isn't "fair" that Northwestern has never made an NCAA TOURNAMENT. just think about the kind of decision makers originating from the NCAA.

[San Diego Flyer]

Nebraska has the #1 rated SOS in the country right now.

Nebraska's latest loss to MSU gives them 15 "good losses". With their top 25 win over UD by 2 points that should put them on the bubble.

Sorry Clayton, #2 seed means NO outright league title. Thats all i want right now. I've never seen one! I have full confidence in these guys to beat all comers in Pittsburgh.

One of these teams as been nationally ranked in 16 of 18 polls this year. Another was recently ranked for the first time. One hasnt been ranked all season.

Yeah, obviously Dayton, X and Wichita State. But it proves the point that Chris is making, which is regardless of numbers, perception is reality when it comes to poll voters, talking heads and, in some measure, the selection committee.

I don't think so. Not yet, anyway. Their RPI and SOS are still too high for them to get overlooked completely. And today's loss, while a disappointment in the Queen City, was no disgrace. Lots of teams lose to Butler. But, if they were a stock instead of a college basketball team, they'd probably be a "Sell" at this point.

They have 2 weeks to right the ship. I see their "dance" possibilities this way:
-No more wins probably = "Last 4 Out"
-1 more win probably = Play-In Game
-2 more wins probably = 10-Seed

And beyond that, they're back to 7-9 Seed territory.

If this Xavier scenario is not the perfect example of why being in the BE is so great, I am not sure what would be.

Don't be so sure they're making the tourney. Team rankings is a very good site for giving odds. If X only wins a ne more game they are a 50/50 proposition.

Not sure if they will make it or not. Just must be nice to completely tank and have it not matter as much just by being in the BE. I hope they don't make it.

CBS now has XU on their Bubble Watch:

"We welcome Xavier to the bubble, although now that I say that, nobody that once appeared to be comfortably in wants to be welcomed here. The Musketeers are tanking. They have lost five in a row to fall to 18-11. They have played a good schedule, so they just might be able to survive losing out, but I would not count on it. Especially since that means a loss at DePaul. This may just be a brief stop on the bubble for Xavier."

VCU has been on their bubble watch from the beginning, right near the top which based upon how they do it means they are close to being "locked in" Dayton dropped off their bubble watch in the last update, meaning that Palm believes UD is now in regardless of the next 2.

Palm's take on VCU: "There are no chances for higher quality wins in the A-10 this year, so they need to avoid picking up any more bad losses."

I guess a road win over #21 RPI Dayton wouldn't be a higher quality win this week. Whatever, not worth being bothered by this statement. Palm must have hated having to take Dayton off this list.

That's why paying attention to Palm and others is merely a case of mental gymnastics. The key is to do precisely what Archie and the Flyers are doing - win your scheduled games no matter what their RPI or Palm status.

Small conference tournaments get under way this week, last week for the majors to move their way up or down/ in or out.

#8 UNC @ #18 UVA. Viginia will likely drop a little in the polls this afternoon, and has been shaky the last few weeks, a loss here (no shame) combined w/ a home loss to Pitt later this week may allow the Flyers to jump ahead of them on the seed line.

VMI @ Western Carolina w/ 14 combined wins b/w the 2, somebody has to in.

#12 WVU @ #9 Baylor, expect these two to flip rankings this afternoon, neither will drop behind UD at this point on the seed line, but a potentially fun game.

E Tennessee St @ UNC-Greensboro, a win for either clinches the 1 seed in their conference tournament.

Miami @ VTech, I expect Miami to be ranked this afternoon, and UD to be not, so go Hookies

Clemson is actually almost an hour away.

Agree with Springborofan that downtown Greenville is very nice, especially the Reedy Falls / Peace Center area. You are about a mile and a half away from the arena in this area, but there are a ton of quality restaurants and bars here, not to mention the Falls park itself.

Just a little West of the area is pretty sketchy... Kinda like Dayton. There is a mediocre zoo and a mediocre art museum also within about a mile of this area.

[AC91]

My brotherin law lives in Greeneville. IZt is a very nice town with some shopping and lots of food and beer downtown. I would think there would be plenty to do on an off day just walking around and finding a pleace to watch some hoops. The BMW plant is nearby and may be open for a visit. Asheville is an hour drive and is fantastic as well. If the weather is good, just go for a hike in the Smoky mountains!

[ud2]

Thanks for the replies...sounds like I will be getting to know the Greenville area better if we are sent there.

That was a long drive for the Clemson fans all season long, I erroneously thought Clemson looked to be a lot closer than an hour, just by eyeballing the map.

The problem with Greenville is that I could see both UNC-Ch and Duke both playing there. Harder to get tickets. Same with Indy. Could be both Louisville and UK. Give me Buffalo again. Villanova will be there but I don't think their fan base is as big plus they would probably assume they will go to the regionals and therefore wait to travel to MSG.

Vandy 25 Kentucky 9 8 min left in 1st half. UK just hit a 3 to cut it to 16.

UK started their seniors. Got down 7-0. Seniors yanked. Substitution pattern all screwed up and they are completely out of sync.

Go Dores!

Kentucky will win this game.

Aldridge only took 5 shots . He took about 5 shots a minute against us. How did the Bonnie's contain him? We may see them in our first round game.
