I’m thinking Mason going to win @ Loyola today

I like what Tony Skinn has done; they are a good team.
Anything can happen, nothing surprises me at this point.

True , this league is hard to predict

Quadir Copeland is a fun player to watch.

Wow quite the #'s regardless of what conference he is in.
That in spite of the other teams probably keying on him.

Albany beat New Hampshire at New Hampshire
URI lost to New Hampshire at URI

[hrstrat57]

So Ramster are you in the we should have kept Bassy on scholarship camp?

Also, has anyone challenged Miller about allowing Thomas to walk? Or has anyone in the media or elsewhere done a truly deep dive on the topic?

42 points on a CYO Cadet team is serious bucket getting. At any D1 level it’s a significant stat sheet.

We also don’t really know if Archie said he could stay and take a backup role.

Thomas very may have left on his own.


Also it’s February, nobody in their right mind is going to ask Archie about a play who transferred almost a year ago.

[adam914]

Wow 28 shots! I'd say he has the green light to shoot!

[reef]

Huge game for Bassy !

We been down that road Arch couldn’t guarantee him the playing time he probably wanted and Bassy found his perfect landing spot

[hrstrat57]

Name a player who walked from URI who put up a 42 spot.

I’ll wait.

[Rhodymob05]

Good for Bassy. I would have never bet in my entire life that he’s be this good in Albany.

Duke player hurt during WF court storm ?

Duke player hurt during WF court storm ?

Some kid tripped over the player. Duke guy lipped off but it didn’t look that bad.

Bring back the cages?

[SGreenwell]

Name a player who walked from URI who put up a 42 spot.

I’ll wait.

Matthew Butler had games of 35, 31 and 27 after leaving URI. I think Thomas is better than him, but I'm still doubtful he'd be playing like this against tougher competition, and in an environment where his team wins games. It probably isn't a coincidence that Thomas is getting the green light so much for a team that's now 12-15.

Jarelle Reischel had 37 13 6 with 2 blocks and 3 steals in one game.

Yup Filipowski their best player

I’m thinking Mason going to win @ Loyola today

Loyola punishing GM, up by 26 points in the 2nd half.

[Rhodymob05]

Loyola is up 29 right now. They are a machine, out of no where.

[Rhody15]

Loyola is up 29 right now. They are a machine, out of no where.

Eh, not really out of nowhere.

Multiple analytics websites had them 2/3 in the preseason.

And many here laughed at that and said no chance they finish at the top.

Jeez another one of my horrible predictions

Loyola playing better than anyone in this conference!

[rjv]

and shooting 47% from foul line

[Jdrums#3]

They sure did look good today on both ends of the floor.

Loyola is peaking at the right time. Their confidence is building.

= Like the usual? Brown missing those FTs at the end was so Syracuse. I know Copeland didn't have an awesome game, but at the end you knew he'd make his freebies

Ya, I don't think anyone thinks Thomas would be dropping 30 or 40 pt games at URI. I don't even think he would have many 20-point games. It's the comments that he sucks that I find absolutely ridiculous.

[Jdrums#3]

Good, high-level basketball game, for the A10 that is, from Joe’s and VCU. Entertaining game.

Looks like VCU will pull it out to get win 18.

Yes they did Drums and we know the 4 seeds getting that double but just not the order yet

[PeterRamTime]

South Florida is interesting to me

After starting 2-4 losing to Maine, CMU, Hostra and UMass, they are now 21-5 14-1 in the AAC with their only loss to UAB in conference.

An unbelievable turnaround, but it's also crazy that they are still nowhere near an at large team! They've had some bad losses, but it looks like they could win out to the AAC final, lose and they'd still likely be out with a 26-6 (17-1) record. Their NET is still in the 90's somehow (before today) and probably won't get much higher than 70.

Would just be lame as hell if they get left our after such a miraculous run, so we could watch some 14 loss power conference team that was under .500 get beat in the first four.

Big win for Rick today over Creighton for St John’s 3rd straight win

Rick closes out the BE playing the 3 worst teams:
@ 9th place Butler
@ 11th place and winless DePaul
Vs 10th place Georgetown

Yes they did Drums and we know the 4 seeds getting that double but just not the order yet

The 2 leading scorers tonight for VCU didn't start for them, Bam and Lawal with 16 pts each.

Reef,
If Loyola pulls the upset tonight at St Bonaventure then the Friday night game where Loyola will host Dayton becomes really big.

Whoever in the A10 scheduling office that put the Dayton at Loyola for the A10 Friday Night game deserves some credit.

My thinking is the Bonnies win this at home, they are usually tough to beat at the Reilly Center.
I originally thought they had the 2nd best talent in the conference but have been inconsistent so far.

The Ramblers have been playing well, but I still like the Bonnies in this one.

Overall, I still give Richmond the edge right now in winning the A10 regular season and getting the #1 seed.

The A10T is wide open with VCU, Richmond, Dayton, Loyola, and the Bonnies all capable of winning it.

After Dayton with a commanding NET of 20 there are 9 teams between 71 to 108. Just 37 points separate the 9 teams

I’d guess and one of those 9 teams plus Dayton could get hot and win the A10

These last two weeks and the A10 Tournament will be very interesting and fun to watch.

The bottom 5 teams have NET’s that are way below the Top 10

The bottom 5 range from 182 to 216. Only 34 points separate these 5 bottom teams that include Fordham, LaSalle, URI, George Washington and St Louis

10 in the top 108 is very good and probably the reason we come in ranked 7th conference

Bona is giving Loyola the business 65-45 with about 8 1/2 left in the game.
