I get a kick out these guys they say this team will be in with a win here another team will be in with a win also . But they don't say who they are going to jump over. At this point in season you just have to keep winning and take it out of the committee's hands.

I assume Joe is saying this with other bubble games in mind and accounting for their outcomes.

I know we need to win, Im not ignoring that, but this is fun. CBS has URI moved up to a 10 seed with PC in their latest bracket.

Thank God this is speculation and not the results because idk if my body would be able to take that kind of pregame hype/stress IF(!!!!!) they ever met.

But for now all we care about is trying to get in. ONE GAME AT A TIME AND WE CAN DO THIS.

They should all be like Dickie V. He thinks every team on the bubble deserves to be in. I guess it keeps him popular with every fan base.

I cant take a bracket that has Wichita State out seriously.

Hooray Rutgers!! Now to put my hopes on the Depaul bandwagon for the next two hours. Xavier has been playing like garbage, what's one more loss ...

Xavier and Vandy winning puts a real damper on my afternoon.

Also, FUCK THE SHIT OUT OF FLORIDA

Blue Man · Unread post by **Blue Man** » 7 years ago

I don't think we'd have been on over vandy even with a loss. Cal and Georgia and Illinois losing helped us because we have a better resume than them at the moment.

No matter what we still have to win or all of this is moot. Win our next 4 and the committee will only have to decide where we play.

RF1 · Unread post by **RF1** » 7 years ago

Do not get your hopes up. URI is not getting an at large. It pissed that away with no win in three December games vs Valpo, PC, and Houston, the choke job gift win vs Dayton at home, and the no effort RC losses vs LaSalle and Fordham. The committee will not pick a team from a league such as the A-10 with blemishes as URI has. They will always look to deny teams like URI for one reason or another and pick a P5 conference school.

PeterRamTime · Unread post by **PeterRamTime** » 7 years ago

Yeah Illinois UGA and Cal losing really gives us some room to breathe.
Vandy will likely lose in the conference tournament so they're still going to have to be the first team with 15 losses to get in the tournament as an at-large.

Now we need Wake GT and USC to lose.

PC has more blemishes than we do losing to BC St Johns at home and DePaul. Even if we beat those teams, none listed are too 50 teams currently.

I am starting to think if we win our next 2 and lose to Dayton in semi we will get in

If we win our next 3 we probably over 90 % in assuming nothing funny happens around the country

theblueram · Unread post by **theblueram** » 7 years ago

Has a team above us in the bubble lost? I don't think so. Wake Forest needs to lose. But we are no better today at this point than we were yesterday.

twisted3829 · Unread post by **twisted3829** » 7 years ago

Illinois

theblueram · Unread post by **theblueram** » 7 years ago

Illinois is below us.

Unread post by **ATPTourFan** » 7 years ago

Hard to tell when Lunardi is talking about "in if today was selection Sunday" or in come the real selection Sunday. Probably the former and we would be in his bracket tonight with win.

KillSteenKill · Unread post by **KillSteenKill** » 7 years ago

One more win

Im also glad to see Gonzaga woke up after a lackluster 1st half

KillSteenKill · Unread post by **KillSteenKill** » 7 years ago

and for all of us agitated after the Valpo loss, they lost Alec Peters , and tonight they lost 43-41 to Milwaukee in the Horizon tournament. The score at half was 16-12

Bye bye Valpo bye bye

Just saw the URI highlights on sports center followed by The listing of Lunardi last 4 in 1st 4 out
Last 4 in are Vandy, Xavier ,Wake USC
First 4 out URI kan state Illinois Iowa

Rhodymob05 · Unread post by **Rhodymob05** » 7 years ago

I think Lunardi has a St Joes bias towards URI.

rhodylaw · Unread post by **rhodylaw** » 7 years ago

I think Lunardi has a realistic view - he has seen this Rhody team in the past 2 decades choke in ever which way possible. If he wants to see it to the end before handing it to us, I completely understand.

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 7 years ago

Being 1st out, there isn't a lot of room above us.....it's going to be tough....and if there are any bid stealers it will be tougher....we could move a couple spots lower in that "first four out" category if that happens.

Winning thru to the finals has to happen, and even then it will be close.

Beating Dayton puts us in pretty solid - losing to Dayton keeps us on the bubble

Wasn't Lunardi the one who said we'd be in if we won last night? I mean, I didn't agree with it, but I'm pretty sure he's the one who said it.

He did, WF Syracuse snd Setin Hall also won but Cal Illinois and Michigan St all lost so I don't understand it.

We really needed Wake or Vandy to lose.

ramster · Unread post by **ramster** » 7 years ago

There will be a lot of shuffling once the major Conference tournaments get rolling next week. The opening round games are huge for a lot of teams. This week we separate the men from the boys.
One week from today is the BIG day.

I've always felt that instead Lunardi giving us some love with his A 10 roots, he doesn't really care for us . With his Martelli connection.

One thing I'll say is I hear all this talk about top 100 wins. I've seen brackets where Wichita St is not in if they don't win their conference tournament. You can use URI, Wich St, Ill St, VCU and try to tell me that they all wouldn't have a few top wins if they were playing in the BE or Big 10 with those schedules. Any mid major misses a couple opportunities in December they can be doomed. Let them play PC, Marquette, SH, NW, Mich St, Ark or teams like that twice every year and there is no doubt in my mind even the Rams would have a few more top wins.
