This post might belong in the "Week 17: Games of Interest" thread once that's created, but the Davidson/SBU game is after ours tomorrow night on CBSSN - good A10 doubleheader, and the 2nd game will likely decide 2nd place, as both Davidson and SBU are tied for 2nd at 12-4. I don't know wh...

Do we have the longest winning streak in A-10 basketball games? I haven't seen anything that says that nor have I seen anything showing where we are close to breaking that record.

Seton Hall has too many good, experienced players to be playing this poorly. Their defense has been awful, and there’s been too many annoying off-court problems. How nervous should we be of Willard getting fired if they miss out on the tourney? IMO Dan would jump for that job in a second and you wo...

Important thing to remember is that it was Jerry Palm that has us as a 5 seed, not the committee. At this point, we can't be sure where the committee has us ranked/seeded. Actually...the only reason Palm has us at 5 is because he worked off of the committee's top sixteen. Here is his bracket prior ...

Even though it's a moot point now, the (potential) best case scenario resume-wise would have included a PC win yesterday. With it being a Neutral Court win, as long as Seton Hall stayed in the top 50, it would be a Quadrant 1 win. Since PC was a home win, they need to be a top 30 RPI to be considere...

I still wonder why he decommit. I don't think he was worried about playing time, because he is really good, as you can see by the schools recruiting him now. My guess is that he had some bigger schools showing more interest after he committed and he wanted to go to a higher level. Just pure specula...

In this particular case, I think Arizona State's 6-0 record with a top 25 win has more to do with them being ranked than their KenPom ranking.

Hopefully the marketing people are discussing the poor attendance of last night's game as much as we are.
