Around the A-10

[Roach]

Richmond is laying an egg against Lehigh, UMass is doing the same against Central Florida, and St. Joe's is trailing Drexel.

I understand that UMass and St. Joe's are down, but damnit, Richmond is supposed to be good. Sometimes I really friggin' hate the A-10.

[Roach]

Richmond has fortunately pulled ahead, but there is really no excuse to ever be trailing Lehigh in the second half. Embarrassing.

[QueensbridgeMF]

Nice comeback By SJU and Fordham is up 6 @ the half. Might just be Umass that stunk tonight.

Fordham keeps the A10 in the national spotlight: http://twitter.com/goodmanonfox/status/5700419084

Mixed bag for the A10: Bonnies have a decent win to start the season, St. Joe's pulls away in OT, UMass gets smacked on the road.

My hatred for Fordham cannot be described. They screw everything up every year.

[waggy]

I'm resigned to Fordham being a perennial doormat.

Just from last nights games, and we haven't even seen a number of teams, it looks like UMass and St. Joes could have real problems in the OOC.

[waggy]

Temple is up big on Delaware on the road. Smart scheduling to open the season on the road against a cupcake rather than pay for a win at home given the RPI bump for a road vs. home.

Dayton down early against Creighton. I hope Dayton wins this game. It's very early, but not good for the conference if they get beat at home against a team from the MVC.

[cinskyline]

Anyone know how good Creighton is supposed to be this year?

[waggy]

I don't know Skyline, but if I remember correctly they should be pretty experienced in the backcourt which can always cause problems for the opponent. They'll probably be Top 40-50 like they usually are.

[danaandvictory]

What in the hell kind of name is P'Allen? How is that pronounced?

[It's actually pronounced Throat Warbler Mangrove.]

[Mark 3 Pointer]

Down 10 to Creighton in the first half...

[D-West & PO-Z]

Down 10 to Creighton in the first half...

We need Dayton to win this game. We need another elite team in this conference.

[IVANHOE]

Keep drinking the Dayton KoolAid ESPN. Dayton will look real good when they beat up on Lehigh, Towson and Presbyterian. Definitely the schedule of a champion. ( I really wish there was a sarcasm font)

[sash19]

Cheese:

Its pronounced just like it reads-PAllen. Just run the P and Allen together....

[xsteve1]

Dayton playing no defense. 46-41 Creighton at the half. Chris Johnson is the only guy with basketball skills on that team. Wright is just an athlete.

[waggy]

Temple finishes off Delaware.

[Pete Delkus]

I know it would be better for the A-10...

But it would also be sooooo funny if their ranking went flyyyyyyyying by with speed, but no substance...like the Jacksonville Jet!

It really is a win-win...

:D

UD having trouble with Creighton's zone. UD getting nothing out of Huelsman, Searcy, and Benson. Creighton missing two starters and doing well on the road. Expect Wright to get more involved. Dont know if the Jays can keep this intensity up the entire game.

UD up 3 now.

[D-West & PO-Z]

UD up 1 with 9 left

[D-West & PO-Z]

3:44 left, UD up 4.

[waggy]

Creighton has missed on at least two front-end freethrow opportunities.

[D-West & PO-Z]

Looks like UD is going to pull this one out. Up 7 with the ball 1:16 secs left.

[xufan02]

Good win for Dayton. They could ill afford to miss on this game considering they do not have a lot of opportunities in the non-conference to get good wins.

[waggy]

Only got to watch a few minutes of the 1st half of the LaSalle game, but they had a comfortable lead on Hampton when I turned it off. I see they survived for a 3 point win. Beats the historical alternative I suppose.

Thanks. I looked for it up there but didnt see it in any of the dropdowns.

It's listed under Xavier Hoops instead of Atlantic 10 Hoops. No idea why.

What's it cost for you to get into Chaifetz?

[D-West & PO-Z]

What's it cost for you to get into Chaifetz?

$10, I was thinking about going but none of my friends wanted to pay $10 to see them play SEMO. I had season tickets last year but I am going to Phoenix at the beginning of January this year for a clinical rotation so I obviously not be here for over half the season. They play Nebraska here on Wednesday, I will definitely be at that one.

[waggy]

The audio is really bad on the streaming vid, but it sounds like there might be a few SEMO fans there.

[D-West & PO-Z]

They have the bowl lady there for the halftime show, now I'm really pissed I didnt go. Damn. Best halftime show bar none.

[D-West & PO-Z]

I have seen her probably 6 times including this one and she has never messed up. Amazing.

[waggy]

It's not just the audio that's bad in that stream - the video isn't alot better. Can't really tell for sure, but the SLU dance team looks pretty good.

[waggy]

They just did a pan of the "crowd". A lot of empties.

[D-West & PO-Z]

They just did a pan of the "crowd". A lot of empties.

Ya, I saw that. I think that was to be expected for this game. I bet it will be close to a full house for the Nebraska game.

[D-West & PO-Z]

It's not just the audio that's bad in that stream - the video isn't alot better. Can't really tell for sure, but the SLU dance team looks pretty good.

Ya they arent bad at all. A couple years ago they combined the dance team and cheerleaders into one group so the quantity was down but the quality was way up.

[waggy]

SLU has let SEMO cut the lead to 6 with 7:45 to play.

[waggy]

RickMa looks like he's lost some weight. Less obese.

[waggy]

SLU has gone on a 13-3 run, and lead 54-39 with about 3.5 to go.

[Masterofreality]

Fordham lost, Lossalle barely won. They both still suck.

Please kick their sorry asses out of this league!!!!

[danaandvictory]

Watched Creighton-UD yesterday. UD is damn good. It's a goddamned shame their AD has set up a non-conference slate of tomato cans, because that looks like the type of team that could have obtained a 3-4 seed given a few big wins.

I'm gonna hold off awhile before I say Dayton is damn good. Creighton was playing without 2 of their best players, one being their center.

Dayton is still not a very good shooting team, and their point guard play could be a weakness of theirs. You've got Mickey Perry backing up London Warren.

Also, Kurt Huelsman can't score or rebound to save his life.

Time will tell.
