Week #9 - Games of Interest

[Rhody83]

All four teams listed in the “Who Do You Want to Have a Worse Season” poll lost today:
UCONN check
PC check
Nevada check
UMass check

That is a good day of work

[Rhodyram]

Things could snowball very quickly for PC- next 3 are @georgetown, S Hall and @Marquette

In results of a late game, Texas beat West Virginia, 61-54. While the game was close, Texas was in front most of the time.

In closing out Week #9, four games comprise Sunday's action in the A-10:

URI at Saint Louis, 4 PM. On ESPNU.

Richmond at Dayton, 12 Noon. On NBCSN.

George Washington at Saint Joseph's, 2 PM. On NBCSN.

St. Bonaventure at George Mason, 4 PM. On NBCSN.


In the only game involving URI OOC opponents:

Holy Cross at Navy, 1 PM.

As noted above, Nevada getting crushed, and no one in these parts seems that sad about it.
But, am I the only one that thinks - as skeezy a move as it was by them - maybe it's not so horrible that we didn't play them this year anyway?

It would've been great to host a top 10 team.
Really sucks that we missed out on that.

However, I dont think we would've been too happy with the result...
Unless we went all New Mexico on them.
New Mexico had looked as bad as us coming into that game.

Before the biggest home crowd of the season of 4,154, UMass fell to La Salle, 69-60. UMass trailed most of the game in this closely contested game, but La Salle has seen some resurgence in play now that 3 of their key players are back.

Their largest crowd of the year was still far less than URI's smallest YTD crowd of 4,828 for a week night game versus Brown. The UMass team, with four home losses thus far this season (Harvard/Howard/Holy Cross/LaSalle) is certainly not giving local fans much incentive to come to the Mullins Center these days. Seems that hockey is now the sport to follow in Amherst.

UMass should just shut it down.

Their avid Twitter posters had them as Top 3 in the A10 this year. Oh well, another UMass miss

[KevanBoyles]

Toppin looking strong for Dayton. 16 and 9 today against Richmond with 6 offensive rebounds.

UMass should just shut it down.

Just to avoid being booted out of the conference.

GW comes back to lead by 7 in the 2nd. If St Joe’s blows this the grumbling is going to get loud on Hawk Hill.

[Obadiah]

In a stunner, Saint Joseph's fails to defend their home court against GW who recovers from a first half deficit that maxed at 12 to beat the Hawks, 70-56!!!

[RF1]

Hawks get beat by GW 70-56. St Joe's has completely run out of gas in both of its first two A-10 league games. Outscored by the Georges (Mason and Washington) in the 2nd half by a stunning combined margin of 96-50. Making matters worse is that both games were at home in Hagan Arena. Injuries are not an excuse for the team as in recent years.

A10 up for grabs
