How many wins are these frustratingly inconsistent Rams coming away with this week?

Will they show up at all?
Will they win some games, give us some hope, and crush our soul?
Will they do the funniest thing ever and be the first A10 team to win from playing in the opening round?

I took Dayton loss because I think we’ll get our hopes up and then play the hilarious joke of crushing our spirit.

You can only have true suffering with hope, and right now we have none. A couple of wins will convince the dumbest of us (me) that we’ve turned the corner and are ready to hit our ceiling, only to crash and burn and lose in a spectacular fireball leaving us (me) in a smoldering heap of rubble.

All the way

16 seed play in game here we come baby

I picked a loss to St Louis as I think we would have had a better chance to beat Davidson , that said if we beat STL I can see us beating Duquesne

Not far.

This team is wildly inconsistent but has enough talent to win a game or two in the A10s. I think we could all see scenarios where we win two games…. Or get blown out in StL. Will be interesting to see which team shows up.

They’re playing the best defense I’ve seen all season. That was the issue vs St Louis last time. I have Rhody in first round. Defense was also an issue vs the Dukes. Dayton is a whole other animal.

We would have been better suited against a more offensively challenged team. Davidson or Fordham. Not convinced our defense improved versus we just played a team (Fordham) that doesn’t have a ton of offensive weapons. SLU hung 94 on us, at home. Duquesne handled us rather easily. Wish I had more hope but regardless I will be in the building on Tuesday along with maybe 27 other people.

Go Rhody

Pretty sure hopes were already irreparably dashed following the debacle vs University of New Hockey

Go Rhody

They will out quick us, out speed us

I still think most of them can't wait for the season to be over and are thinking about where they will be playing next year. Beating Fordham didn't change my mind about that.

They'll score 90 again against St. Louis and this time hold them to 88 to win. Then going up against a better defensive team with the Dukes combined with Rhody's poor defense will finish us off on Wednesday.

I think (hope) we'll beat St. Louis today. The only thing that stopped us from winning at home was our own putrid effort. I'd like to think that a week and a half after they pantsed us at home that we'll show some fight in Brooklyn, but I've been wrong about us showing better effort a bunch this season

I was of the fifteen that voted right.

Sheesh. I gotta stop doing polls.

Wonder what Archie would give himself? Based on many of his pressers with “players not ready to play, it is on me, I take full responsibility, I have to do better, gotta get them playing the right way………” etc.

I actually like him taking the blame one of the many differences from him and Coach Cox

No polls until the pain is less fresh.

Wait til at least the A10 tourney is complete for us to get a more honest, less emotional grade.

5th annual coaches poll is up, although I thought about not doing it tbh

Ugh we knew it was coming ! Love me some Keaney blue polls !

Rhody went far.

As in back to RI really quick.
