St. Joe's (Kenpom 1 pt favorite) plays at St. Louis on ESPN2 at 9 tonight (Friday). SLU with a win will be 2-0 in the conference -- a sign that they are putting it together and be a top 4 contender as some were predicting at the beginning of the season?

I saw a post on X that SLU hasn't won at SLU since 2006.

I presume that you mean St Joe hasn't won at SLU....otherwise, that's a nearly impossible home losing streak!

Tough times in St Louis. How any coach has lasted very long is pretty wild!

Yes. I’ll leave the original wording there for everyone’s future enjoyment

SLU up 7 at the half after St. Joe's came back from being 10 down early to take a brief lead. Reynolds got in early foul trouble and the 2 fouls limited his time during much of the first half. Jimmerson not getting many shots but did make a buzzer-beating 3 just before the half ended.

SLU pulls away in second half and wins by 16. They share the ball well--20 assists on 27 made baskets. Avila and Swope (transfers from Indiana St) combined for 47 of SLU's 73 pts, 13 assists, and 12 rebounds. They certainly looked like the contenders that some were predicting. We'll have a good read soon as their next game they host the Bonnies.

St. Joe's is now 0-10 in St Louis. Reynolds, 1-8 from 3, was not a factor.

GW 82 Dayton 62... GW was up 64-60 with 6:30 to play... went on an 18-2 rum to end the game

Dayton is definitely beatable. Them getting destroyed by GW by 20 was not something I would imagine.

We are now #76 KENPOM & 79# NET...great numbers but how did we get there a little perplexed.

Beat the crap out of bad teams, three of five losses by one possession and four of five on the road.

With Kenpom maybe it's just that the games/sample size is now approaching critical mass.

I did notice that Tulane (#232 when we played them) is now #168 having won 4 out of 5 since then, although the wins were against mid to high 200 teams, plus a 13 pt loss to Fla St (#68). Still, a very big jump of 64 ranks.

Madison also jumped up to the Q2 range. Mason had 0 Q2 games going into the Rhody game, now they are 1-1 (Rhode Island is 5 NET spots from being a Q1 road game too).

Dayton seems to be having some issues... just lost to UMASS

GW moves to 13-3 after beating Rhode Island on the road

The 3-Bid league guys were just talking about how their 3 point shooting has gone cold (shot 25% tonight).

That’s doesn’t excuse giving up 76 to a bad team. Their defense is supposed to be damn good.

Just looked and UMass shot (15% from 3!!!) They were on point from inside the arc though and went 19-20 at the line. Dayton missed 10 FT and that cost them dearly.

. Dayton missed 10 FT and that cost them dearly.

sounds familiar

 

[TweederGMU]

The URI road loss is so frustrating, don't think they are good... definitely should of won that game.

GW is better than we think. Gonna be 2 tough games against GW.

What’s crazy about that is they also made 28.

Didn't see the game but Dayton shot 73% from the line--not that bad and indeed outscored UMass from the line by 9. From the box score, it looks like the biggest difference was that UMass outrebounded the Flyers by 13. Rivera had a big game--23 pts/12 rebounds.

i was thinking it would be an easy walkover - but not after their last 2 games
