I tracked the three A10 games tonight on ESPNs scoreboard. The conference went 3-0, but two of the games were tight.

Richmond survived a major scare from UNC Wilmington. Richmond led most of the 1st and at halftime by about 6. But in the 2nd Wilmington caught them and built a 10 point lead with only about 6 minutes to go. Richmond came back though and ended up winning by just 2. A loss to UNCW on their home floor would have really damaged at-large hopes for the Spiders.

George Washington led by double digits at Holy Cross for most of the game. HC cut the lead late, but GW got a 2 point road win. HC isn't too good this year, but any road win is a good win.

And Temple beat Bowling Green handily, 63-39.

Wins are wins.

The A-10 will still be ranked 4th RPI tomorrow.

Johnny Wolf's average has fallen from 13.9 point a game during last season to 7.2.

Johnny Wolf should've started over Lavender...

What did Johnny eat for breakfast this morning?

Look, the kid stepped in and did a yeoman's job at the point with an injured hand when we magically won the A-10 Tournament in Racoon Face's second year. For that, he deserves to be a part of Xavier lore as a contributor to success. But he left because he knew that he wouldn't be getting much time behind DLav, and that was the way it should have been.

I know Band is just joshing, and I appreciate the sarcasm, but anyone who espoused that opinion of Johnny starting over Lavender was just drugged up, delusional, wore St. X glasses, or all of the above.

Temple actually had a throwback night of sorts at old McGonigle Hall; I can just see calls now coming to see X play an annual Cincinnati Gardens game.

Trick question. Johnny Wolf doesn't eat breakfast...and if he did he would eat excellance.
