I can't decide if we're going to roll over and take it like we did against the Bonnies and Dayton or play 39:00 of good ball and one minute of mind-boggling stupidity that loses us the game...

option A, it's the trend

 

[gmujim92]

It's A all the way. Kendall Anthony has been lighting everyone up ... he may get 50 against our "defense."

 

[PDGL Hoops]

We win this one:
GMU 69
UR 68

I don't like having to wait a week for another game. I realize there is usually a week break for finals in December, but I believe this is the second time during conference season that we go 7 days without a game. Maybe that changes next year when we got to an 18 game conference schedule.

Shhh, don't say anything more about us being idle this weekend. I've already bet five people we will not lose Saturday.

From what I've read elsewhere (I think it was in yesterday's St. Louis Times-Dispatch), the two bye weeks will go away next year when we move to the 18-game schedule.

We usually win when we get 7 days to build Rome...err I mean a gameplan.

 

[GreenLantern]

Us 77
Them 78
OT (which means there will be no OT)

With Davidson joining the conference, the A-10 will no longer have an odd # of teams, so no "byes" needed.

 

[phoenix-arizona]

Burn em down.

 

[Patriotsince81]

We'll find a way to lose this one, not that we've done that in the past.

Assuming the Big East doesn't pull the trigger on SLU and another A-10 school. The BE isn't looking good this year. The A-10 will likely get more teams in. That makes the BE's claim of the best basketball-centric conference very questionable.

 

[Walter]

Best case scenario is a network pays the A-10 accordingly.

SLU is going to take a huge hit next season as their entire starting lineup graduates. So it probably won't make the BE much better in the short-term.

our favorite bracketologist has the Big East getting 6 in right now, the A10 five.

When you're making a conference schedule for an odd number of teams, someone has to be off every game day. This is the second year in a row we've had to deal with this (CAA had 11 teams last year)
