However I'm beginning to think that UConn will go farther in the tournament than PC will.
Martin is really starting to play more consistently well for them.
Ed Cooley also has gotten past the first round.
They both have been to the round of 32.

Re: Week #12 Games of Interest / Rest of 2022 Season
VCU and Dayton not getting to the finals was the worst case scenario for the league. They went to DC with decent NET ranks that had them in contention for an at large. If Davidson wins the title tomorrow, it will be the only A-10 team in the NCAA. Our league will be on par with the NEC, AE, CAA, and MAAC for NCAA bids.

Dayton pulled a Rhody. The best outcome for the A10 would have been for Davidson to have lost today. I do feel the league deserves 3 bids but I’m naive. I’m really rooting for Richmond.

Yeah they pulled a Rhody but that is acceptable when your FR point guard goes down at halftime and you are a team of FR/SO playing against a bunch of 5th and 6th year guys. Not the same as our colossal meltdown.steviep123 wrote: ↑2 years ago Dayton pulled a Rhody. The best outcome for the A10 would have been for Davidson to have lost today.

This is the Richmond everyone expected.
Old, experienced with multiple All A10 players, including the NCAA career steals leader.

How can Xavier get in with 8 losses in their last 10 games?
I think they won't though.
Texas A@M will get in instead. They deserve it way more.
Yeah Dayton blew it, but they have a bright future.

Re: Week #12 Games of Interest / Rest of 2022 Season
Lunardi today has Davidson winning AQ and Dayton, St Louis and VCU all in the Next 4 OUT
Obviously Richmond MUST win to get AQ but does Davidson get a bid if they lose?
Davidson beat Richmond 87-84 last January 15 in their only game. The game was played @ Richmond.

John Groce and Akron punched their ticket to the NCAAT winning the MACT.
He has now taken 3 programs to the NCAAT: Ohio (Sweet 16), Illinois, Akron.
Prior to his first stint as a HC he was lauded as one of the top assistants in the country.
He was Thad Matta's lead recruiter at Butler, Xavier, and Ohio State.
Still only 50, he will probably get another opportunity at a higher level program.

Re: Week #12 Games of Interest / Rest of 2022 Season
All the changes to college basketball such as the introduction and later fine tuning of the NET is having the effect the power conferences want. A scenario with three teams from a league such as the A-10 listed in the NCAA next four was the goal. It somewhat mirrors last year when the league saw four of its teams in the NIT field. The A-10 is getting squeezed out year by year.

The A-10 just didn't earn it. Our bubble teams just didn't have enough good wins and had too many bad losses. It's pretty much the same as it's always been, just didn't get the job done.RF1 wrote: ↑2 years agoAll the changes to the college basketball such as the introduction and later fine tuning of the NET is having the effect the power conferences want.

I mean if Dayton flipped any one of their losses to UMass Lowell, Lipscomb, Austin Peay or La Salle they are probably in.

Agreed. Xavier has to be out. Quarterfinal loss in the BE tournament, plus bid stealers like Virginia Tech and likely Texas A&M (although Virginia Tech may be stealing Wake Forest’s bid).steviep123 wrote: ↑2 years agoYeah supposedly it’s the “whole body of work” but I don’t see how Xavier gets in.

Compare what the ranks of A-10 teams would be under the old RPI system and today's NET. They are significantly worse. No one even knows the exact formula for the NET as the NCAA will not make it public. They have even tweaked the NET formula since it was introduced with no real explanation for why it was done.

Exactly. Just think back a few years ago when many associated with the P5 cartel were complaining that schools outside their leagues were gaming the RPI and getting NCAA bids. You had hypocrites like Coach K specifically calling out the A-10 for this. It was no coincidence that the publicly known formula RPI was soon thereafter dumped in favor of a secret NET ranking system that the NCAA refuses to fully explain its calculation. This same NCAA has even tweaked the NET since its inception with no explanation given why they did so. The whole system is a FIX specifically devised to reward a select few.

Many conferences lost buy games this past season. The ACC had a particularly rough time in the OOC. See how many bids they get versus the A-10 which had a better head to head record. Look at Rutgers in the B10. It had an OOC loss at home to Lafayette and on the road at UMass but is being projected to make the NCAA field with an overall record of 18-13.

Hahaha your cartel comments continue to sound ridiculous, and just flat out wrong. Be more petty, you can’t.
The A10 does not deserve any at large bids (except Davidson).
Also, the “cartel” must’ve forgot to rig the NET because:
St Marys is 19
Murray St is 21
San Francisco is 22
Loyola is 23
San Diego St is 25
Colorado St 28
Boise St is 29
Davidson is 38
All mid majors, all ranked very high is NET.

I suppose I should be offended if I cared what you thought. I however could really care less what you write as much of your posting history is full of petty personal attacks on others and offers little merit as far as I am concerned.

Lol ya zero merit.
I just provided 8 mid majors who are all ranked very high in NET.
You may not like how I post because I’m not bias and don’t play the “woe is me” card like you two are doing.
The A10 does not deserve an at large bid except for Davidson.
We lost too many OOC games, and have too many bad teams at the bottom.
You’re just choosing to ignore the 8 mid majors I listed because you don’t like how I post.
That’s totally fine, but you sound like someone who only wants to see things thru A10/Rhody blinders.

I might be in the minority but I feel Dayton deserves it. That had some bad losses early but also some big wins to off set them.

The fair way would be the top 64 NET teams make it unless a team’s total W-L record minus Quad 4 wins is under .500.

Fwiw I think Dayton should have (and possibly would have) gotten in if they got to the final. Kansas, Miami, Va Tech and Belmont and 14-4 in the A10 gets you in 9/10 times. 3 inexplicable early season losses just killed them.

Re: Week #12 Games of Interest / Rest of 2022 Season
Rutgers is about as interesting as it gets on the bubble with those bad losses like you said but some really good wins at home , I hope they get snubbed but they may be one of the last teams inRF1 wrote: ↑2 years agoRAMFAN wrote: ↑2 years agomaybe just maybe, the OOC record had something to do with it.RF1 wrote: ↑2 years ago
All the changes to college basketball such as the introduction and later fine tuning of the NET is having the effect the power conferences want. A scenario with three teams from a league such as the A-10 listed in the NCAA next four was the goal. It somewhat mirrors last year when the league saw four of its teams in the NIT field. The A-10 is getting squeezed out year by year.
Many conferences lost buy games this past season. The ACC had a particularly rough time in the OOC. See how many bids they get versus the A-10 which had a better head to head record. Look at Rutgers in the B10. It had an OOC loss at home to Lafayette and on the road at UMass but is being projected to make the NCAA field with an overall record of 18-13.
