Week #6 - Games of Interest
No A-10 team appears in the rankings of both polls. St. Bonaventure and Loyola Chicago get other votes in both the AP and Coaches polls.
The A-10 OOC record showed some improvement and now stands at 85-60, .586.
URI continues to struggle and has shown only small improvements since the season opener. In its 7-3 record URI has recorded no significant wins and two of the losses border on the bad. With exams coming up, the game tonight against Milwaukee will be the only one in week #6. A loss tonight will just about end any Ram chances of dancing.
The combined won-loss record of URI OOC opponents now stands at 74-52, .587, a small increase over previous week.
Reflecting an unimpressive home court win over a low ranking Sacred Heart, the key URI metrics moved slightly in both an up and down direction. The URI NET Ranking dropped, but at #88 remains the fourth highest in the A-10.
NET - 88, down 5
BPI - 75, up 1
Pomeroy - 81, up 2.
Sagarin - 89, down 4.
Two games on Monday in the A-10:
URI at Milwaukee, 8 PM. On ESPN+.
Radford at George Washington, 7 PM. On ESPN+.
In games involving URI OOC opponents:
Sacred Heart at Columbia, 8 PM. On ESPN+.
Albany at Boston College, 8 PM. On ACCN.

Got to win the game tonight by at least 10 to get any improvement in our NET, etc. I hope it’s not a high bar.

Re: Week #6 - Games of Interest
For those interested in tracking potential future HC candidates a couple interesting games the next two days.
Tonight, Dennis Gates takes his 6-2 Cleveland State squad on the road to Oklahoma State where they are +12.5. Cleveland State currently on a 6 game winning streak.
Tomorrow, Bob Richey takes his 7-3 Furman squad on the road to UNC where they are +11.5.

BC is a candidate for Rothstein’s epitome of brutality: losing late.

Re: Week #6 - Games of Interest
And it’s official. They lost 61-57. I saw it was televised on the ACC Network and watched the last three minutes. I think it took twenty minutes to complete: horrible. Entire sections of empty seats. Good luck against Duke, Eagles.

Not good for an ACC team to lose to Albany especially @ home

There are 4 teams that can easily contend for their title: Nova, UConn, Xavier, and Seton Hall. St John's is a sleeper and dare I say our enemy PC.
So far, I wouldn't be surprised if they get 6 teams (possibly more) in the NCAAT.

The A-10 may be generally struggling in the OOC schedule but it is presently 7-1 versus the ACC and is guaranteed to have a winning record as there are just two more OOC contests in the regular season between the leagues.CaptainRon wrote: ↑2 years agoI saw someplace that the ACC has lost 8 buy games this year.

Mississippi State easily handles Georgia State, 79-50. The Bulldogs have a OT neutral court win over Richmond.

Covid concerns leading to game cancellations are on the increase in college basketball. The UCLA-UNC match-up in Las Vegas could be the next victim.

Lofton is back in the line up
Games like this are opportunities for the A10 to build reputation or unbuild it

Re: Week #6 - Games of Interest
They are really taking the Bonnies to the woodshed.
The Bonnies look totally out of sync and some bad shot selection.
Dayton just beat Va.Tech 5 days ago.
The Bonnies might not be such a shoe-in for the A10 title.
Besides I also don't expect the Bonnies to win the A10T.
3 games in 3 days may be too much for them with all the minutes their starters get.

Just a lack of fire and effort today by them
Trailed 13-0 and now by 30
Back to the drawing board for Coach Schmidty

Also their entire bench from last season entered the portal this year, and they have a completely new bench (8 players).
Not sure yet how comfortable Schmidt is with all those new faces.

Bonnies will never be that good. Their ceiling is losing to a P5 in the NCAA because they can't recruit well enough.
