You hate playing the what-if game, but remove the Canisus home L, and our NET 69 would have to jump by a good 5-10 spots, at least, you’d think. How about the "what if we didn't take a 9 min power nap against FAU in Springfield?" |

How about the "what if we didn't take a 9 min power nap against FAU in Springfield?" Or Fordham..? Anyway... lots to be optimistic about with 2nd half of A10 schedule. This Friday will be the toughest test. If they play to their ability, stay consistent, we can attain top 4 before the A10 tourney. |

Considering we're 8th in the conference standings right now, this is an indication of our potential... as confirmed on Friday, we can beat anybody in this league!

Considering we're 8th in the conference standings right now, this is an indication of our potential... as confirmed on Friday, we can beat anybody in this league! While it may very well be an indication of our "potential", it is more accurately a reflection of our performance so far. Put another way, we are the 2nd best team in the A10 based on how each of the teams have played so far this year. While our overall ranking (78) is a bit lower (higher?) on KenPom, that ranking system still shows us as the 2nd best A10 team. I think we may be the favorite in all nine of our remaining games, so the opportunity to secure 10+ conference wins and a double bye is very much alive. Time to prove these ranking systems right  Go Bonnies! |

He, and others, have Richmond "in" because they were (and still are) in first place in the conference and therefore assumed to be the automatic qualifier. There is no way at the moment that they are in the running for an at-large. |

Agreed on RICHMOND. Regular season A10 Champion and a NET of 50 or less MIGHT get it done for them ... As it stands today - no dice for an AT LARGE bid for Spidey ...

Why though? Richmond is 16-6 and 8-1 in Atlantic 10 play. They have no bad losses. Their worst loss was AT Wichita State, that's not bad, certainly cancelled out by their best win vs. Dayton.
They should be in strong consideration for an at large bid.

They should be in strong consideration for an at large bid. Richmond is still very much in play, but they probably need to win 26 games to land in the tourney. Their remaining A10 schedule does them virtually no good. In all honesty, they have to be nearly perfect to get on the right side of the bubble. Right now their NET of 74 is decent, and they are 1-2 in Q1 games and 5-3 in Q2 with 1 Q3 loss and no Q4s. Richmond's remaining schedule is as follows: LaSalle -Q4 UMass- Q3 @gw - Q3 @uri - Q4 Davidson - Q3 slu - Q4 VCU - Q3 Saint Joe's - Q3 @mason - Q2 If VCU and SJU hold at Q3s and they only lose one game, It still might not be enough.... Say they win every game but Saint Joe's. That would put them at 24-7 overall and 16-2 in conference with a 1-2 Q1 record, 6-3 Q2 with 2 Q3 losses. Assuming they are the 2 seed, they'd play a team like Mason or us as the seven seed which gets you an additional Q2 win. Then they'd likely get the winner of the 3/6. That would be another Q2 victory. Then let's just say they lose to Dayton in the final. Final record would be 26-8... 1 Q1 win and 8 Q2 wins with 2 Q3 losses. A team with that resume would be at the mercy of other teams on the bubble. Most certainly not a shoe in. Given that, I think their AL hopes aren't great |

Given that, I think their AL hopes aren't great I know it is to our benefit, this year anyway, but it makes zero sense that our NET ranking is better than Richmond's at this point in time. (69 / 74) They have more wins, more better wins, and no bad losses, we have 2. Oh and they beat us by 11 points in our only matchup. Yet we are ahead of them in NET. What the heck. We throttled UB and they only beat them by a handful so lets ignore everything else and put them behind us? What a stupid stupid system of ranking teams |
