Tonght's Games:

Olean Welding Academy vs. LaSuck
My Prediction: Torch Wielders Wrong

Wooden Teeth vs. Flapping Bird of Prey
My Prediction: Oak Dentures Wrong

Small State vs. Lucky Charms
My Prediction: Fat Man's Team Wrong

UMess vs. udump
My Prediction: Because of horriffic coaching on both sides, both teams lose in quintuple overtime. Half right.

Let the Madness begin!!

[Blue Dog]

Looks like Welders-LaSuck is gonna go down to the last brick.

[Snipe]

Go Bona! I got the Brown Indians beating Temple on Friday Night.

[bobbiemcgee]

OT

[Snipe]

It is madness.

[Snipe]

Double OT!

[whiteyxu]

Double OT! What a crazy chain of events there.

Bank 3 pointer to tie for LaSalle
Turnover by Bona
LaSalle can't finish.

March madness for sure

[THill42]

The ending of this game is crazy. I do think LaSalle is getting homered a bit, as both of their last shots in first OT were clearly fouls. But, more exciting to the watch game end on something other than a free throw though.

[Tu 4 MVP]

ST. Bona was up seven with like 50 seconds and the ball and somehow managed to blow the lead and almost the game.

[Retire33]

ST. Bona was up seven with like 50 seconds and the ball and somehow managed to blow the lead and almost the game.

Now they did blow it; missing two FT with 3 sec left down by 1

[Masterofreality]

wow, talk about choking a game away- The Welders took a torch to it!

[Masterofreality]

31-29 Rhodee at the half over the Rotund One.

[Masterofreality]

And the Flapping Bird of Prey by 11 ....31-20 over The Wooden Toothed Foggy Bottoms at the half.

[DC Muskie]

Tough loss for the Bonnies. Would have liked to see them move on.

[waggy]

THWND? They are playing well. That 3 to end the 1st half was a helluva play.

[waggy]

Was that the sprinkler dork?

[waggy]

Jones for St. Joes keeps getting himself trapped because he loves the sideline.

[Masterofreality]

URI knocks off the Round Man 70=61

[X-band '01]

URI now a winner - 70-61 over Saint Louis. They'll play Richmond next; they did win on the Spiders' home floor earlier this season (right after their loss to Xavier, if I'm not mistaken).

[waggy]

Wow. GW misses point blank bunny to win at buzzer. OT.

[XULucho27]

Wow. GW missed the gimme for the win. OT.

[GoMuskies]

I'm glad to see St. Joe's get a win. I like Martelli and loathe Hobbs.

[DC Muskie]

Wow will Dayton extend the road wins?

[X-band '01]

SJU fans will finally get a Double Dip this year with a Hawk win and a Nova loss.

[GoMuskies]

Did I see that right? 3-0 more than 4 minutes into the Dayton/UMess game? That's pretty awful.

[XULucho27]

4-1 four and a half minutes in.

[danaandvictory]

11-4 now. Looks like Dayton gets another shot at the belt. It's a testament to what a freaking turd Brian Gregory is that this would be X's fourth meeting with UD in the quarters of the conference tournament in five years.

[DC Muskie]

Offensive foul on Wright. SHOCKING!

[QueensbridgeMF]

This game is fugly, we should kill whoever wins. I'm not buying the Dayton brings their "A" game for X thing

[XULucho27]

UMASS- 1 field goal in last 9:40. This game is pathetic.

Edit: Fast break layup for UMass off a Chris Wright disaster toward the basket. Dude just cannot handle the ball.

[Masterofreality]

This game is fugly, we should kill whoever wins. I'm not buying the Dayton brings their "A" game for X thing

In spades it's Fugly.

What the hell else would we expect? Kellogg can't run a half court offense and the Midget can't coach any discipline.

Just awful, awful basketball.

[chico]

Young children should not be allowed to watch this game. It may make them want to give up basketball. Or maybe these teams started lent early and did just that.

[danaandvictory]

As per stattracker right now, UMass is shooting 19% from the field and 28% from the line. That's freaking embarrassing. Of course, they did lose to Fordham.

[XULucho27]

And still only down by 8

[Masterofreality]

As per stattracker right now, UMass is shooting 19% from the field and 28% from the line. That's freaking embarrassing. Of course, they did lose to Fordham.

Now UMess even gives the dump a lane violation.

Anybody that loses to Fordham should have their coach not only fired, but drawn, quartered and hung in the Town Square after being burned at the stake.

This game reminds me of the dump /DePuke game a few years ago. Nice to know that the more things change, the more things stay the same.

[XULucho27]

Staten is the only positive thing in this ballad of sadness masquerading as a basketball game. Kid can ball.

[Masterofreality]

Honestly, I wish we could play somebody else in that damn Tournament than the Cryers.

Every freaking year. I know that we're their overlords, but one time a blind freaking hog will find an acorn in the forest. You know that they will come out and hit shots standing on their heads Friday.

[GoMuskies]

It's March. Everyone remembers Dayton/DePaul, right? This is what Dayton does this time of year.

[danaandvictory]

Dayton is now running them out of their own gym. What a completely gutless team. Kellogg is terrible.

[GoMuskies]

Damn, getting blown out AT HOME by Dayton is bad.

We can knock UD's all-time lead in the series back to 9 on Friday.

[XULucho27]

Honestly, I wish we could play somebody else in that damn Tournament than the Cryers.

Every freaking year. I know that we're their overlords, but one time a blind freaking hog will find an acorn in the forest. You know that they will come out and hit shots standing on their heads Friday.

I agree. It's their Super Bowl (again) and you know they're gonna come at us with everything they got and just bury every shot. I'm already annoyed we have to share the court with these miscreants again.

[Masterofreality]

Geezuz.

Even a bunch of scarecrows can guard a team that just stands there and passes the ball once and one guy dribbles and then jacks up a horriffic 30 foot shot.

Derek Kellogg is the worst college coach I've seen since, err Ratface Lappas. I think he coached at UMess too.

[kyxu]

Seriously, who's worried? One team is responsible for Fordham's lone win and the other is Dayton.

The victor tonight will be our fodder Friday.

[danaandvictory]

I agree. It's their Super Bowl (again) and you know they're gonna come at us with everything they got and just bury every shot. I'm already annoyed we have to share the court with these miscreants again.

We've beaten Dayton in the quarterfinals of the tournament in three of the last four years. And every time, we lost in the semifinal the next day with a mediocre performance. That's why it sucks. And the funny thing is that if Gregory ever got his head out of his ass they'd actually finish in the top half of the league and we'd play them in a significant tournament game.

[QueensbridgeMF]

nice little halftime feature on King Kenny and his mom

[XULucho27]

Yea I know we have that favorable record against them in the quarterfinals but I always get this same feeling before we play them. It's just me getting a little over-anxious for the game of course, but alas, the feeling is still there every time.

However, I'm sure we'll be able to summarily dispatch them come Friday.

[GoMuskies]

Glad I decided to bet on the Flyers....and not the Friars!

[XULucho27]

I've never seen so many attempted/failed alley-oops. The lobs are just awful.

[CinciX12]

The better team lost every single game today. This conference inhales.

[XULucho27]

The better team lost every single game today. This conference inhales.

In the Big East however, they call it parity.

[GoMuskies]

The better team lost every single game today. This conference inhales.

SLU's not better than Rhody.

[CinciX12]

SLU's not better than Rhody.

I disagree with that. SLU started to play a tiny bit better towards the end of the season, but they were still abysmal.

[GoMuskies]

I think there's a reason Rhody was 9-7 and SLU was 6-10. They weren't three games ahead in the standings by accident.

[Masterofreality]

I'm glad I didn't put money down on my predictions.

[dc_x]

St. Joes up by 6 with 15 mins left against the Dukes. This thing might be opening up for UD.

[BlueX]

How could no foul be called at the end of the Duq game. That's either a charge or defensive foul. Unbelievable.

[kyxu]

Temple is going to have a cakewalk to a fourth straight championship.

[Xavgrad08]

Dayton Vs Saint Joe's tommorow. Dayton has themself a pretty easy path to the finals. Hopefully, they wet the bed vs an inferior opponent, like they usually do.

[THRILLHOUSE]

Temple is going to have a cakewalk to a fourth straight championship.

Wouldn't go that far. Doesn't Temple have some injury issues? They will roll tonight but I think Richmond could take them out (assuming Richmond beats Rhody and avoids the A10 tourney upset bug thats going around)

[pizza delivery]

Could the A10 get 4 in if Richmond loses to Dayton?

[The_Mack_Pack]

Could the A10 get 4 in if Richmond loses to Dayton?

As long as Richmond beats Temple and not La Salle then it's possible.

[bigdiggins]

Could the A10 get 4 in if Richmond loses to Dayton?

I would almost prefer the A-10 get no berths if it means Dayton made it in. Of course that would mean X wouldn't get in either so I'm kind of torn.

[xsteve1]

A10 was terrible this year and doesn't deserve 4 bids. The only team that has a realistic chance to advance in the tourney is X.

[TempleU22]

A10 was terrible this year and doesn't deserve 4 bids. The only team that has a realistic chance to advance in the tourney is X.

Please elaborate.

[pizza delivery]

A10 was terrible this year and doesn't deserve 4 bids. The only team that has a realistic chance to advance in the tourney is X.

If Dayton plays with focus like today, they can advance. Richmond can maybe win a game. Temple hopefully gets some matchups they like and finally get out of the first round, or maybe into the sweet 16. Juan will have to play a large scoring role.

Overall, I agree that XU has the best balance to face a variety of styles of play and still overcome. I'd like to see much more fire from X in the tourney than today. I thought Dayton had the fire to win. We played hard for sure, but with some incumbency, which can let another team roll out some uncharacteristic runs. I sure don't want to see that next week. I don't think I will, either. Let's get some bodies in the trunk!

[pizza delivery]

Digger wondering aloud why Richmond is in the tourney solidly. I have to agree somewhat. They need tonights game and Temple to avoid a 12 or 13 seed. That Purdue win was months ago.

[xsteve1]

Please elaborate.

Until I see Temple show up in the first round then I'll change my mind. Bad match ups regardless the losses to Arizona St. and Cornell were both winnable games IMO. Hope Dunphy figures it out this year. Too bad for Temple they don't have an NCAA site at Boardwalk Hall.

[GoMuskies]

I think Richmond is solidly in with their win tonight (I'm assuming URI is done). The Bubble teams blow. A-10 gets four if the winner of the first semifinal wins again on Sunday.

[QueensbridgeMF]

Temple got the screw job with Cornell last year, I didn't wan't to play them

[TempleU22]

Temple got the screw job with Cornell last year, I didn't wan't to play them
This. Cornell was taking (and making) the most ridiculous shots I had seen all year. When that team was on, they were unstoppable. We played a decent game and got our doors blown off. I could have sworn Ryan Wittman was Stephen Curry 2.0

[X-band '01]

I think Richmond is solidly in with their win tonight (I'm assuming URI is done). The Bubble teams blow. A-10 gets four if the winner of the first semifinal wins again on Sunday.

If Dayton beats Richmond, yes. If St. Joe's beats Richmond, no. NCAA Tournament do not lose to 20-L teams in March. Period.

[Masterofreality]

Losing to the F-ing piker Cryers dropped our RPI rating by seven spots from 20 to 27.

Play a non-conference schedule, you poseurs. That pisses me off more than the loss!

[GoMuskies]

If Dayton beats Richmond, yes. If St. Joe's beats Richmond, no. NCAA Tournament do not lose to 20-L teams in March. Period.

If Richmond beats Temple, a loss to St. Joe's isn't keeping them out.

Looks like Dayton's gonna handle the Hawk, though.

[Masterofreality]

So here's the dump returning to form. They're only up 5 with 1:44 to go and St. Joes just missed a dunk and 2 free throws.

And Chris Wright is a freaking travel machine.

Those F-ers. Play somebody else tough you a-holes.

[Masterofreality]

Cryers hang on.

Have fun getting your ass kicked by Temple tomorrow. Poseurs.

[xudash]

Cryers hang on.

Have fun getting your ass kicked by Temple tomorrow. Poseurs.

At the end of the day, wouldn't that be glorious as Xavier sadists when it comes to UD: so close, yet so far, and off you go to the NIT again.

[BiggieXU]

Cryers hang on.

Have fun getting your ass kicked by Temple tomorrow. Poseurs.
That doubling the inbounder was great by Martelli. I've never seen that before.

Preach it!

[THRILLHOUSE]

And Chris Wright is a freaking travel machine.



He really is. I was thinking during the game yesterday that I have never seen a player travel as much as Wright does.

[THRILLHOUSE]

They will roll tonight but I think Richmond could take them out

I'm so smart

[Xavgrad08]

Richmond takes down Temple to advance to the Championship game. Hopefully, the Spiders can take out the Flyers.

[Masterofreality]

C'mon Spiders.

Break the Cryers' hearts!

[madness31]

UD played a solid schedule and had a decent RPI until conference play. The reason they hurt X's RPI so much is because UD lost too many games in conference. UD plays well out of conference so if they make the tourney I'd expect them to get a win unless their match-up is terrible.

The A-10 was bad this year but not dramatically worse than some of the big 6 conferences. The big difference is at the bottom of the conference not at the middle. There is a difference at the top depending on which conference. I'm not sure the A-10 will get 4 if Richmond loses but it is possible as they have a solid profile compared to some of the PAC10, ACC and SEC teams in the discussion.

[pizza delivery]

Can't believe how 4 more teams (68) makes the bubble appear more like a sloppy mop bucket. Less compelling so far.

[pizza delivery]

4 teams would be a coup for the A10, although you can bet it will draw some ire from talking heads around the country. Especially if the PAC10 gets 3 only, BE gets 9 only (only?), etc.

[Masterofreality]

UD played a solid schedule and had a decent RPI until conference play. The reason they hurt X's RPI so much is because UD lost too many games in conference.

Actually after corrections, X's RPI only dropped 2- from 20 to 22 after yesterday. This on both Real Time and on CBS.

[X-band '01]

Can't believe how 4 more teams (68) makes the bubble appear more like a sloppy mop bucket. Less compelling so far.

I hope the NCAA remembers this when the Big East coaches make a push for a 96-team field in the near future. You would have had a hard time with 65 teams this year.

[waggy]

Maybe it's been posted already, but does anyone know who is doing the game tomorrow on CBS? Not sure, but thought I heard Lundquist mentioned, but nothing on his partner. Hopefully the game reflects good for the conference, and not a crapfest. Also, I've heard there's been a run on melon at tri-state Krogers.

[Nigel Tufnel]

My 6 year old is really getting into basketball. Today, I tried to explain to him why daddy was watching so much basketball today...I explained to him how many teams played D1 basketball, how they separated into leagues, how they played league games, how the team that won the most games during league play was the regular season champion, how after league play ended, the leagues played a league single elimination tournament, how there are around 32 leagues and the winner of the league tournament automatically makes the NCAA tournament, how the NCAA tournament is the goal of every team, how only 68 teams out of over 300 teams make the NCAA tournament, how the other 34 or so other teams that don't win their league tournaments make the NCAA tournament because of their play during the year, how Xavier lost to Dayton in the league tournament but that Xavier is still in the NCAA tournament because they made it in as one of the 34 best teams that didn't win the league tournament.

My son asks me, "Is Dayton good enough to be in the NCAA tournament?"

I said, "no, but if they win tomorrow, they will be in the NCAA tournament. Doesn't make a lot of sense, does it?"

He said, "not really."

Conference tournaments make no sense...other than $$$. Oh well, it is what it is. I just found it interesting that when explaining the system to a 6 year old, it sounded ridiculous.

Bet you didn't say that in 2006. I know I didn't

[Nigel Tufnel]

Bet you didn't say that in 2006. I know I didn't

Yeah, actually I feel the same way. It was great...I don't think its a coincidence that the two years X had to play themselves into the tourney, they did. Regardless, you try to break it down for a 6 year old..it doesn't make a lot of sense. I didn't add this, but my 6 year old asked why the team that won the regular season wasn't automatically in the tourney...I had no answer for him.

The entire premise of the conference tourney doesn't make much sense. If the regular season champ and the tourney champ were both auto bids, it would make much more sense. The whole system is just weird. Play like crap for 2 months but play well for four days and that means more? Weird.

Haven't posted here in ages but felt the need to address this....

really Nigel? you really believe what you just wrote? Winning the A10 tourny doesn't mean MORE then X winning the regular season title....just watch selection sunday today and you'll see what I mean.

At worst, X will be a 7 seed, at best UD (if they win) will be an 11 seed, more likely a 12. What would you rather be. X is in no way being penalized, other then a spot or two in seeding for losing in the tourny, but that would be the case in any conf. Playing in the A10, as long as X wins reg season titles like you are, you will always be an "auto bid" and have a better seed then a team that wins the A10 tourny.

[GoMuskies]

I love the Tournaments. Without them, 2/3 of the season would be a complete waste for most teams. It would be like the Ivy League.

I also love that the Tournament is usually pretty meaningless for Xavier (though I sure wish we'd win it again one of these years!).

[X-band '01]

At least the Ivy League had a buzzer-beater to determine their champion this season. Poor Hah-vuhd.

[Snipe]

Some of my best memories are winning 4 games in 4 days. We did that twice. Nothing like living on the edge with your backs against the wall and coming through. You whole season is defined in four days and you go from suckjob to success. Champions!

If Dayton pulls this off it will be epic for them.

Humpers.

Ummm...yes, I really believe what I wrote. It doesn't have anything to do with Xavier and UD...shocking, I know. It has more to do with the smaller one bid conferences. Their entire seasons generally boil down to three or four days. A team could go undefeated in conference play, have a bad game in the conference tourney, and they are out. The reward system seems out of whack to me.

That's true of the NCAA Tournament too, though. One bad game against Steve Nash and Arizona's season-long work to get a 2 seed was for naught.

[XU-PA]

I really like the Raftery/ Lundquist announcing team, but when they went to Brian Gregiry as one of the countries bright young coaches, my breakfast came back up.
The writers of this crap should be run down on the mast of our flagship

[Nigel Tufnel]

That's true of the NCAA Tournament too, though. One bad game against Steve Nash and Arizona's season-long work to get a 2 seed was for naught.

True, but both of those teams got into the tourney. That's the first goal of all D1 teams. Once you get in, whatever happens....well, happens.

I think the whole conference tourney issue is one that can be debated back and forth. I don't think anyone that falls on either side of it is being unreasonable. For me, it just seems that for smaller, one bid conferences, their entire season boils down to 3 or 4 days. Nothing that happens before the conference tourney really makes a difference if the main goal is to make the NCAA tourney.

I see that, and I do like the way some of these conferences have gone to giving byes and homecourt advantage to the regular season champion to make sure being the regular season champion is meaningful. I also like the move to have the NIT guarantee bids to the regular season champs. It's not the same, but the NIT is a big deal to most of those programs.

[XU-PA]

Looking for a wall of wet paint, or perhaps some fresh grass sprouting. Nealy anything would be better than this very bad 3 point shooting contest

Dayton sucks

though I do love Raftery's schtick going to breaks

[golfitup]

Does Dayton just save up there 2/3 best games a year for us? It really is quite irritating...

[GoMuskies]

Finish them!

[Snipe]

This game is not over.

[Snipe]

I don't think that Chris Wright has a basket yet. What a way to go out in your last game. They better make a run in the second half and the "High Flyer" bet get off his ass and do something or this is how his whole year will be remembered.

[TinCup2]

The conference gets a showcase game on National TV and no one shows up. The A10 needs to get out of Atlantic City. The place is a dump. I have no interest in going to the tournament as long as it is in AC. I think it should move to Pittsburgh. IT is a really fun city and easily reachable from many of our schools. The empty seats make the confernce look small time. Our commish needs to wake up!!! The only schools that want it in AC are the Philly schools.

[Jumpy]

I agree that the tourney site needs to change, but please not Pittsburgh. That city annoys the crap out of me. The tourney never had better attendance than it did when it was here, in Cincy, and in Dayton.

Bring the tourney site back homes where it belongs.

[TinCup2]

Too far from the other schools. Pittsburgh is right in the heart of the conference.

[Statman]

This is pathetic. There were more in attendance for the Princeton/Harvard game played at Yale last night. And while I don't like Pittsburgh, even go as far as say I really dislike that city, I could see myself driving up there for the weekend if my team was still in the tournament. I have never even considered making the trek out east.

[OTRMUSKIE]

Its a mid major conference with two major teams (X and Temple) Why cant we just have the previous Conf Champ host it the following year. Perhaps give the host city to the Conf Tournament Champ. The A-10 doesn't have the fan base to draw on a neutral site. Bring it back to Dayton.

[STL_XUfan]

Vegas.

Sure it is far away, but lets be honest, we would all go.

[X-band '01]

There aren't any Philly schools in the title game - they're the only ones with any real proximity to Atlantic City. Even then, the attendance was better than the SJU-GW championship at USBarn Arena in 2005. That game had flies in attendance (I'm still asking myself why I went to that one).

[XUOWNSUC]

I too won't go as long as it is in AC. I'd go if it were in Shittsburgh. Hopefully they move it there or Cincy or dayton.

I really miss going to the conference tourney. I really loved it when the MCC tourneys were in Indy. Always had a great time there.

[TinCup2]

Dayton looks really bad. It is too bad we didn't play any defense until it was too late. They should have never beat us!

[Xavgrad08]

Dayton down 10 with 4.45 to play.

[X-band '01]

It still amuses me that people on this board WANT to go to Pittsburgh to watch a number of basketball games.

[Strange Brew]

Dump down 8 with 2:08 to go

[Snipe]

Dayton was flat. Richmond had a lot to do with it. Richmond had a great year. Hope that Mooney stays. With all those seniors he will be tempted to leave. Now would be the time. Richmond would have to rebuild and that could be a mess.

[TinCup2]

Pittsburgh is really fun. Have you ever been there?

[GoMuskies]

Way to go Richmond!

Good luck to Dayton in defending their NIT title!

[GoMuskies]

You want to see empty seats? Have a Temple/St. Joe's final in Pitt.

[xavierj]

Pittsburgh is really fun. Have you ever been there?
I agree. I went up for the X - Duquesne game and had a blast. City is cheap too. It needs to be in Pitt.

[Fam93]

Look what happens when you spell Dayton backwards...Dayton... NITYAD.
