UD was picked to finish 9th in the league at the beginning of the season. I think this is an improvement.

I'm rooting for SLU Saturday. I want VCU to have to go through URI and SLU to get to Dayton. It's the best shot at winning the tournament. I'm not worried about Davidson, GMU, DUQ, Richmond, or Joe's. Dayton can beat all of them...they just have to not beat themselves.

You may be right, but when St. Joe’s visited earlier this season, Cohill locked-down Charlie Brown, and he’s bigger and a better scorer than Williams. Still, I think Mikesell gets much of that assignment, based on the “do whatever the team needs” factor.

Frankly, I’m worried about any potential opponent, because when we don’t worry about them, we lose. But as far as potential opponents for VCU are concerned, there’s no team at the bottom of the bracket that’s stronger than Rhody, and the Billikens have the muscle to take VCU’s punches and send a barrage of their own back at ‘em. So, yeah, I hope Rhody becomes VCU’s first opponent and, if they get by the Rams in Blue, I hope they get SLU after that.

These are LIBob's probabilities from his first post in this thread, which uses a predictor for each game in the conference season and runs a lot of combinations. Interesting to see how it looks, and how close to accurate it was. Rhode Island too high, Saint Bonaventure too low, everyone else nearby within 2-3 spots.

Code:

Team             Average Seed
VA Commonwealth     1.99
Davidson            3.01
St Louis            3.41
Dayton              4.17
George Mason        5.27
Rhode Island        5.50
Duquesne            8.84
St Joseph's PA      9.20
St Bonaventure      9.75
G Washington        9.89
La Salle           10.48
Massachusetts      10.51
Richmond           10.97
Fordham            12.00

You better worry about each and every one of them. As inconsistent as JC has been playing and if the guards come out listless, which one does most every game now, this team is dead...

I worry about every game. But if I'm ranking the teams in order of who I least want to face, it's probably something like

VCU
SLU
DC
URI
SBU

Four of those would be on the other side of the bracket, i.e. can't be faced until the final and will be beating each other up in the quarters and semis.

DUQ
GMU

and then a big gap

LAS
JOES
MASS
RICH
FORD
GW

It appears we're locked into a match with Davidson in the semis, presuming we both win in the quarters. It's a matter of who do we not want to face in the quarters. I don't want any part of SLU or SBU. Would LOVE to see them be 4th and 5th with the winner of that game against VCU/Rhody quarterfinal winner.

Interesting that the probabilities have the Flyers at the 3 seed but the potential 6 match-up is really up for grabs between SLU, GM and Duquesne.

Okay, I'm sucked in again. I will be looking at this for the next 3 days.

If SLU doesn't win Saturday, they are most likely to end up on the 6 line.

Interestingly enough, as bad as they are, prior to last night they had not lost an A10 game by more than 13 points and last night they even got their leading scorer back....

SLU wins at SBU = SLU 4 seed, SBU 5 seed. They can slug it out for the right to slug it out with URI/VCU for the right to lose to Dayton in the finals. DAY and DAV would open with DUQ or GMU. This is the best case scenario imo.

SBU wins they get the four. Then it gets interesting.

GWU (vs GMU), DAY win = SLU 5 (2 DAY vs 7 DUQ if Richmond beats Davidson, 3 DAY vs 6 GMU if not)

So if SBU (1:00) and GWU (2:00) win, Dayton ideally wins to bump SLU up to 5. Because

GWU, DUQ win = 3 DAY vs 6 SLU

If SBU and GMU win:

DAY, DAV (@RIC) win = 3 DAY vs 6 SLU
DUQ win = 3 DAY vs 6 GMU, 2 DAV vs 7 SLU
DAY, RIC win = 2 DAY vs 7 DUQ, 3 DAV vs 6 SLU

(All this, of course, could be a case of "be careful what you wish for")

UD can be 2 or 3. No higher, no lower.

Not really. It would be about matchups. See my post above for the possibilities.

Ideally, SLU and SBU are on the other side of the bracket and they and URI and VCU can all beat each other up for two days.

I'd rather face GMU than DUQ, but the difference is small. And facing Davidson, the only reason it would matter is what color uniform everybody wears.

Not other than what time you play and who you play in the quarterfinals on Friday. Numbers 2 and 3 will play each other in the semifinals on Saturday if they both win on Friday.

In an ideal world, we'd like the best "matchup" in the quarters and a bonus would be Davidson (our likely semis opponent) having a crappy matchup, hence a chance to get knocked off.

The way it appears to be playing out, in my opinion, we're avoiding the toughest matchups for UD (based on personnel, style of play and key category advantages), or at least as many as we could reasonably hope for - with Rhody, SLU and SBU on the opposite side of the bracket. Not a big fan of potentially seeing Duquesne in the quarters, and would probably prefer George Mason simply because they've struggled down the stretch, having lost 4 of 5 and getting pasted by both VCU and SBU.

Best scenario from my perspective would be GMU at 6-seed and the Dukes at 7 seed, assuming we take the 3-seed. Flip them if we get the 2-seed.

If SBU, GMU, DAY, and RIC all win tomorrow, it's 2 DAY vs 7 DUQ and 3 DAV vs 6 SLU. I could see that working. Davidson wins on a lucky 3 at the buzzer after getting whalloped by SLU all day. Then their seven deep lineup limps into Saturday's game. That Would work. But I think SLU would win that matchup. And I'd rather face Davidson than SLU. SLU is gathering steam big time right now.

Just curious about this... If this happens wouldn't Duquesne and St. Louis be tied (10-8) and St. Louis would win the tiebreaker? Then we would play Duquesne as the #3 vs.#6?

Just seeing who we need to root for tomorrow as I would rather have us play Duquesne again vs. St. Louis, I think?!

Go Flyers!

GMU would be fifth in that scenario, SLU 6 (tiebreaker over DUQ), DUQ 7

I guess we might want St. Louis to beat SBU tomorrow. Just would rather not face St. Louis.

Right, we play who we play. No matter who it is, we have to win, whether it's Fordham or VCU.

Negative energy or not, I'd rather be playing Fordham than VCU.

Seriously, A SLU win gives them the 4 and SBU the 5, meaning both are on the other side of the bracket. Would give us GM or Duquesne in the 6 or 7 seed. Not going to lie, I would like to see that. A SLU loss, puts them in the mix for the 6 or 7 too.

Does not matter. This year's team can beat any A10 team if they come to play and shoot okay from outside. They can lose to anyone if they don't.

I agree with Jack; there are times when this team looks great and other times when they look horrible. Two ends of the spectrum - Virginia and the second Rhode Island game. If they play well, they literally can compete with anyone. If they play poorly, they could be one-and-done no matter the opponent. That is why I say, if they were able to play well through the A-10 tournament and then sneak into the NCAA, they could do some damage. As Jack indicates, a lot of it will depend on their outside shooting, and I will add their ability to secure the ball and limit errant passes.

My order of preference?
1) I want a rematch with GMU in the quarters. We have the “payback” factor on our side, and GMU has been slumping down the stretch.
2) If not GMU, then I’d rather see a rematch with SLU than Duquesne, for 3 reasons: (a) they also have a short bench, (b) they can’t shoot to save their lives, and (c) they’ll be playing their 2nd game in 2 days, so fatigue should be a factor with the short bench and the poor shooting, particularly in the 2nd Half (when we generally play better).

GM up 16 on GW 15 min left.

Assuming GM goes on to win:

Davidson and Flyers win - Flyers 3 playin SLU 6
Davidson and Flyers lose - Flyers 3 playing GM 6
Davidson lose and Flyers win - Flyers 2 playing Duquesne 7
Davidson and Flyers both lose - Flyers 3 playing GM 6

I think

Assuming GMU holds on.

Dayton, Davidson:

Both win = 2 DAV vs 7 DUQ, 3 DAY vs 6 SLU
Only DAV wins = 2 DAV vs 7 SLU, 3 DAY vs 6 GMU
Only DAY wins = 2 DAY vs 7 DUQ, 3 DAV vs 6 SLU
Neither win = 2 DAV vs 7 SLU, 3 DAY vs 6 GMU

Edit: 22 point game. I think GMU's got it

Short version: if Davidson loses, they play SLU. Dayton plays DUQ or GMU.

I never like to see us lose, but if losing tonight increases our probability of facing GMU again, I might be in favor of it. Otherwise, we’d have to beat Duquesne 3 times in 1 season, and the Dukes might be too motivated to let that happen.
