We always suck in the A-10 tournament. No matter the year, the coach, etc. We aren't winning this game, you can just tell.

Crutcher needs to have more ownership on the court. He hides for minutes at a time.

So as I have said and felt all season long .... I havent been able to figure out this team. They continue to shoot the 3 ball as if they have no other play in BB. No offensive rebounds no defensive rebounds stand around and watch the bouncy ball . I guess if they lose we only might have to suffer through one more game in the NIT. Maybe maybe not.

SLU’s physicality is throwing the Flyers off balance. Everyone except maybe Trey looks out of sorts.
Still only down 7 though...

We need more aggressiveness and need to D up. Jordan is our most aggressive offensive player right now. Jalen is just tossing it around the perimeter and making Jordan make plays. That recipe doesn't usually result in a W.

The answer for a zone is to pass high post, and dribble penetrate, pass, backdoor cuts and make open shots and lay ups. Two problems, we don't penetrate and we don't do backdoor cuts

No first half free throws, outrebounded, no second chance points in first half, no credible adjustments to the zones, etc.

They’re playing Foreman and French at the point of the zone. Should be able to rotate the ball around the perimeter and get into the lane. Come on, guys! Finish!

The swing in SLU's favor came on the terrible foul call that gave Obi his second foul. They couldn't risk a third foul. Worst call I've seen all year!

This game is over...you can't win a game if you cannot get any production from the front line. Josh just looks lost out there. Mikesell is way out of sync. Time to move on to the NIT and hope for a better performance.

Our players are not as quick, not as strong, and not as determined as St. Louis. The Billikens play with an attitude. We just didn't show up tonight. I hope we can get some bigger, stronger, quicker, more determined players in here next year.

I don’t get either. I also don’t understand pressing at the 2 minute mark. Should have do e that at the 10 minute mark

When it's the 32nd game of the year and the coach still can't get guys to box out, that falls back on the coach.

How do we let Bess get the ball 3 times in a roll. No heart, no guy, not defense. Terrible flyers. Absolute disappointment

I've said it before and I'll say it again, this team plays with zero emotion, zero energy and zero urgency.

We will be better next year. Help is on the way. This years team was very average. Schedule/competition/results prove it.

I'm not a fan of the first round bye in a conference tournament for just the reasons we saw tonight. Often teams need a game to get going, and if you get a bye, your opponent has had that game and is coming in off of a win.
Some conferences, like the Horizon, have moved away from the bye format and everyone plays first round. I wish the A10 would, too.

We were in zone when we had boxing out issues. I disagree to an extent, certain guys just lack the competitiveness that we need to play with the likes of a team built like SLU or VCU. We need an absolute dog. French, Bess, Isabell aren't incredibly gifted players but they make up for it with heart and effort. They are dogs, we arent

Maybe, but it also speaks to the lack of a bench. Next year, there’s the threat of losing playing time. No excuses in 2019-20.

I am not sure how to do a poll, can someone put one up to see who cares about the NIT and who does not?

I agree 100%. He has not looked right most of the year.
Thanks Josh for continuing to fight on this year. Take care of your body man, enjoyed watching you the last few years. Get healthy.

I'll take the double bye every time it's there. SLU played Richmond in their first game, which was Richmond's second game, coming off a win. I'm not buying any of this "get going" theory. Maybe it takes a few minutes into the game to "get going", but no advantage to having played a full game the day before.

I will be engaged if we get a chance to play an interesting match up or two - WSU, Indiana, _avier, Alabama.

I guess I never thought of the A10 structure as having a double bye so much as having seeds 11-14 play in to the main bracket. I'd rather see only seeds 1&2 get a bye to the quarters. In that case, the Flyers at #3 would've played their first game against the #14 seed, instead of the #6, and should've been more likely to come away with a win. Gives a team a chance to work out the tournament kinks against a lower seeded opponent first.
One thing I would like to see, regardless of overall format, would be for the pairings to be re-shuffled every round so the highest remaining seed plays the lowest remaining seed, etc.

Great theory, but it’s a nightmare logistically. You would need 6 games the first day and the reshuffling could possibly lead to a team playing a really late game followed by really early game.

The women play this bracket format where only the top 2 seeds get a first round bye; they play the first round games at host schools.
Their bracket format would make reshuffling easy for the next round and wouldn't be too hard for the semis, since there are only 2 games to worry about. Shouldn't be too hard to be ready for a 1pm game, regardless of the night before.
Anyway, that's what I'd like.

See if Brooklyn becomes lost if you only fill 3 dates on the calendar versus 5.
Reshuffling for the semis sounds doable, until the first coach faces a 1:00 games after winning an 8:30 game. Travis Ford is already whining about his assistants being up until 3 or 4 in the morning game planning the last two nights.

I know it'll never happen, but I'm a bit of a tournament heretic. I've got even better ideas on how to seed the big dance...
