	St Joseph's ST. JOSEPH'S Founded by the Society of Jesus in 1851, Saint Joseph's University advances the professional and personal ambitions of men and women by providing a demanding, yet supportive educational experience. One of only 139 schools nationwide with a Phi Beta Kappa chapter and AACSB business school accreditation, Saint Joseph's is home to 4,200 full-time undergraduates and 3,100 graduate, part-time and doctoral candidates. Located in urban Philadelphia, SJU is a fellow member of the A10 Conference. Nickname is the Hawks. Athletic claim to fame is is the Hawk mascot, a university student on full scholarship who wears a Hawk uniform and flaps his wings continuously for an entire athletic event. School spirit slogan is "The Hawk Will Never Die."

We will see how the broadcasting goes during the UD game. My preliminary opinion is NBCSN is trying too hard to compliment everything A10. Maybe that’s what you have to do to win broadcast rights these days, but it gets old fast. It’s worse than listening to “homers”.

Also noted yesterday the studio guy on the right (sorry I have no idea who he is) but twice yesterday he was asked about who could win it all. Zero mention of UD. I don’t think he was dishing Dayton. I just think he hadn’t done his homework. First time he only mentioned VCU and the teams that played yesterday. Second time he added Davidson, no clue UD was seeded 3rd.

Today, not a lot of UD talk either. Lots of SLU talk because they saw them play yesterday. The game announcers for StB and Dav finally mentioned Obi, but the general audience would have thought SLUs French set the dunk record at 80.

And then throw in the Network appears to be thrilled the A10 “is now” a 2-bid conference. The conference is down this year...just say it and then talk about how many teams are playing freshmen and sophomores. Do your homework and tell the real story. At least they reported on the GW firing at half time.

Jury still out, but Network is playing from behind in my opinion.

	Saint Louis SAINT LOUIS Saint Louis University is a Jesuit, Catholic university ranked among the top research institutions in the nation. The University fosters the intellectual and character development of more than 12,700 students. Founded in 1818, it is the oldest university west of the Mississippi and the second oldest Jesuit university in the United States. Located in St. Louis, MO, and just five minutes from the Gateway Arch, SLU offers 85 undergraduate programs and over 50 graduate study tracks. Over 99% of the SLU faculty hold the highest degree in their respective fields. Fellow member of the A10 Conference. Nickname is the Billikens, but also commonly known as "Sloo", the phonetic pronunciation of the school's initials. Athletic claims to fame include multiple national titles in men's soccer and men's basketball star Larry Hughes.

Maybe they were hypnotized by Martelli’s outfit. I’m getting a headache looking at the pinstriped shirt with the gaudy, diagonally-striped tie.

Yes. Thank you. He has a nice on-air demeanor, etc. but he was NOT prepared for that question and he got asked twice yesterday.

You’re right, but I don’t mind it too much. The Big East has FS1, the Big Ten has their own network, SEC has their own network, the ACC has ESPN, etc. The A 10 needs a little love.

[jack72]

The ACC will have its own network next year.

Great pictue of Bill C and the first NIT championship in '62.

Didn't Bonnies get the memo? They aren't supposed to win two games in two days basically playing only five guys. Today their starters played all but 6 minutes and yesterday they played all but 17. My guess is tomorrow they will pay most of the minutes too.

	St Bonaventure SAINT BONAVENTURE Founded in 1858, St. Bonaventure University is a liberal arts college located on 500 acres in southwestern New York state. SBU offers 43 undergraduate majors, the most popular of which are elementary education, journalism, psychology, accounting, marketing, finance, and management. Total undergraduate enrollment is 2,000. Virtually all freshmen and most undergraduates live on campus. A founding member of the A10 Conference. Famous athletes include Bob Lanier. Historical nickname was the Brown Indians, but later changed to the Bonnies. Their mascot is a wolf.

If Tramaine Isabell Jr. for the Billikens doesn't get MVP of the A-10 conference tournament there needs to be an investigation. While playing almost 40 minutes in each of their three games he has 60 points, 19 assists and only 10 turnovers!

My hope is that we can get some significant contributions next season from our transfers. If reports of their progress are true we could see one or possibly two starters replaced. At the very least there is going to be some serious competition going on in pre-season practices!

If there is a transfer and we can possibly recruit Sean Mc Neal to have an additional three point shooting threat that would be great!

I don't understand how all of these players can play so many minutes each game. I've read on here over and over that we lost games this year because our guys play too many minutes. Although I also read we lost to SLU because we had six days off.

Amazing how much on court success the Bonnies manage in games that really count. Little support....little media focus....yet they just continue with guts and grit....and a great coach. I think this would be Schmidt's third or 4th NCAA tourney....if they hold the lead.

Exactly.

And St. Louis is now up 3 with 6 1/2 to go. I hate Ford and his team almost as much as Norwood U

Saint Louis has some tough hombres. Mentally and physically.

The Flyers need to recruit some tough hombres. Just not thugs.

SLU goes dancing. Hope they do well.

Total collapse by Bonnie’s in second half even though SLU tried to give it to them by missing FT after FT. Maybe a CIT bid for them.

And SLU did it playing 7 guys , one of which played 12 and another 15. But our year according to some came down to losing Metos and his 8 career baskets.
