11/20 Games

[waggy]

Some big games for the A10 today.

Saint Louis hosts Washington at 12:00 noon est. Pomeroy has both teams ranked in the top 30 - SLU should be very slightly favored. This would be a huge win in the makings of an at-large for SLU. Don't know if there is TV, but there is usually a stream for SLU home games.

Rhode Island at Nebraska at 2:30. URI probably too young to pull this one out on the road, but I expect them to be just as talented and for it to be close. Look for NU to have a good offensive day.

Duquesne vs. Valpo in the 2K Classic at 4:30. This is the tourney championship @ Valpo. Should be stream for this one.

Temple vs. Wichita State in the Puerto Tip-off on ESPN2 at 5:30. This is for 3rd place I believe.

St. Joseph's vs. Tulsa in the 3rd place game of the Charleston Classic. 6:00 est on ESPNU. Pomeroy has Tulsa ranked 70th, and St. Joes ranked 103rd.

Using Sagarin, RPI Forecast currently projects the A10 to finish as the 6th ranked conference (in RPI) ahead of both the PAC12 and Mountain West. Sagarin numbers this early in the season are heavily weighted using last seasons numbers, but nevertheless the SLU/Washington game is a big one for the conference.

Wow...SLU is destroying Washington 50-25 at half. Game is on CBS College Sports for those interested.

SLU explodes for 50 1st half points, and leads Washington 50-25 at the half. Wow. It's early, but look out for the Bills. Hopefully they can hold on.

[THRILLHOUSE]

I watched the first half, SLU looks very good. Having Mitchell back is huge for them.

Simul-post! Yeah, we cool like that!

Rhody is awful. Baron better hope that his kid is a lot better than he showed at UVA.

Baron really has no excuse. He's been there long enough to establish a program and has had some respectable players, but, man, they play with almost no discipline. I thought I was watching UMess out there except for the color of the uniforms.

Baron and Kellogg must go to the same laissez faire coaching school.

Valpo from the Horizon is drubbing Dookane. Gawd the A0 blows.

Losing by 16 with 7:40 left. They're losing the rebounding battle 30-14, which the announcers say is because Duquesne is tired after a tight Akron game. Sure, that's part of it, but it doesn't help when you lose two all-A10 players, the two leading rebounders on the team, when the team itself was already undersized.

[waggy]

Dukes look smaller than usual, but maybe Valpo has a big frontcourt.

Temple leads Wichita State by 6 at the half. Owls have some foul trouble.

[GoMuskies]

A win over the Shockers would be a big one for Temple. Wichita State is definitely a top 50 (probably better) team.

[waggy]

The Hawks will probably be the swing game for the day. Rhody and Dukes were road games, so no big harm. Temple and St. Joes are neutral of course.

[waggy]

#21 for the Hawks looks to be related to TC Binnie.

[waggy]

This TU/WSU game is a tight one. The press/ball pressure has bother Temple. Some questionable officiating. Shockers lead by 1 with about 3 to go.

[GoMuskies]

Helluva shot there by Fernandez to get them to OT.

[waggy]

Yeah I thought they were done. Now they are in pretty good shape in OT.

[waggy]

Not only can Wyatt jump off one foot, he can jump off the wrong one foot. And hit a 3 in the process.

[GoMuskies]

Think Temple has this one in hand, now. They looked plenty shaky in trying to blow the lead, but I don't think they can manage now.

I found myself cheering for the Shox in this one. Oh, well.

[waggy]

Owls finally end it with the OT victory.

Switching over to the Hawks who lead by 3 with about 4 to go. I think they have some foul trouble too. C'mon Hawks.

[waggy]

What a shot by Carl Jones. Dayum.

[GoMuskies]

3 pretty decent wins for the A-10 today. No particularly bad losses, either (other than the margins).

[GoMuskies]

And the midget's team lost to LSU. Ouch.
