XU's opponent in A10 tournament Thursday

[JAPER]

Apparantly the deciding game is the @ Rhode Island-Charlottle game. If URI wins,

X would play #8 Charlotte/ #9 LaSalle victor

If URI loses

X would play #8 Dayton/ #9 Duquesne victor

preferences?

I'd like another trifecta shot at UD, but I think Rhody will win at home tonight, but wow, one of four possibilities is one jammed up conference.

I'd love to play Udump for another 3 game sweep

[XUdomer23]

Id love to play Dayton for a 3rd time

[Fred Garvin]

I don't want to lose to Dayton with an injured Drew. It would put them in the tournament and they might go farther in the tourney if Drew is still hurt.

[JAPER]

according to espn website, Charlotte is up 10 with about a minute to go. If correct, the X-UD matchup could be forthcoming on Thursday...

cutting down the nets as I type! Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[joebba]

Dring on UD. We'll beat 'em 3 times in the same season -- again.

[JAPER]

Pretty sure about Dayton locked into the #8 position now, but unsure of the #9 seed at this point in time. Would be either URI, SLU or Duquesne. Tough game for anyone, which could work in XU's favor come Thurs.

No more ud for me. I am a firm believer in the law of averages and those are not in our favor at the moment.

Here's the A-10 bracket.

La Salle beat us, so they're 7th.

I thinkk, repeat think, it will be UD/SLU with the winner facing X on Thursday. I'm mad, because I have meetings all day both days. Probably won't even be able to follow on gametracker.

Had URI just won, Dayton would be the #7 seed and playing at night.

[vee4xu]

Well, I hope SLU knocks you out! Go Billikens.

I think Adam is spot on.

UD vs SLU at noon on Wednesday. Winner to face XU at noon on Thurs.

Unless I did something wrong, it looks like Richmond got the 4th bye, based on a 2-1 record against Charlotte and SJ.

[vee4xu]

Said on FSN during the game that Richmond had to win to secure the 4th spot, but they didn't elaborate.

[dethwing]

Here's what I calculate the final bracket to be:


1 Xavier
8 Dayton
9 Saint Louis
4 Richmond
5 Char
12 Fordham

3 Mass
6 SJ
11 Duq
2 Temple
7 La Salle
10 RI



SJ, Charlotte, and Richmond all tie for 4th at 9-7. Richmond went 2-1 against the other 2, so they get the 4th. Charlotte beat SJ, so they get the 5th, SJ gets 6. LS beat Dayton, so they get 7, Dayton 8. The SL-Duquense-RI tie for 9th is complicated, but it seems to come down to SL beating U-Mass.

[AdamtheFlyer]

URI is actually the 11 seed. They were 0-2 vs UMass, while Duquesne was 0-1.

Completely unfair, they should go by pure winning percentage against UMass (both would be .000, so move on down the line), but that's the system. Not sure it matters a whole lot in this league, though. Either X is going to win or 9 other teams that are roughly even will duke it out.

[dethwing]

Simmilairly between SJ and Charlotte. That's bull.

Brackets including team names. X gets winner of ud/LaSalle. SJU is #5 and Richmond ends up #4.

[X-band '01]

Wrong again Vee. UD plays Saint Louis in the 1st round; will they be able to go 3-0 against the Billikens?

X could get the Flyers, Hawks, and Minutemen if this breaks right. Could Xavier pop 3 bubbles in this tournament?

[vee4xu]

Sorry there X-band. Had a typo. Glad to see you are on top of things. Now really get on top of things and go get laid! I haven't kept track, but if things are as the same as last time I heard, the next time should be your first. For your sake, I hope I'm wrong about that too.
