The help D was there too, but they were so afraid to step in and cause a foul to put him on the line. UGH!

Oy, that one! That was all about the refs taking Lari Ketner out of his game. It's hard to win against the other team AND the refs.Steve81 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 25, 2021 9:28 am That would take me way back to the last prior dance in the 90's after the lone 2014 appearance. Yes we lost to SLU in that one and done. Not being negative, just my expectations are show me. We need to beat SLU for the mojo and guarantee double bye. Then win a friggin game in the A10 tourney.

The D was poorly set up from the get-go. Derrick Gordon was practically glued to him coming upcourt. What was the point of that? Of course Jett blew right by him.InnervisionsUMASS wrote: ↑Thu Feb 25, 2021 11:14 amThe help D was there too, but they were so afraid to step in and cause a foul to put him on the line. UGH!

Re: 2020-21 Atlantic 10 season
Since the A-10 is using W/L percentages for seeding, it would have been nice if they had just played the GW game. It was a winnable game which would have helped our seeding (of course it was the Smith Center, though ), but I guess there were just too many questions of getting the necessary support personnel to the game in the shut-down city.

That's not quite how it played out as JJ didn't bring the ball up the court. DG face guarded him to try and prevent him from getting the ball. He was able to get it... DG backed off initially and then came up on him again. You see DG look to his right as a screen was coming up, but JJ blew by him on DG's left and he got a head of steam to the basket. The help was there, but didn't step in.

Re: 2020-21 Atlantic 10 season
If teams with the better record win for the rest of the season, then we will be in 4th place with a double-bye. Of course, that's a big "if."
Re: 2020-21 Atlantic 10 season
Are you counting us as a team with a better record? Just asking for a friend
edit: If all the home teams win, we'll finish 6th. If we can't beat SLU then we don't deserve the double-bye.
Mathematically, we can finish as high as second.

Re: 2020-21 Atlantic 10 season
Overall record, yes, meaning we will lose to SLU and still be in 4th if everyone else does their part. SBU wins two (12-3), VCU wins one (11-3), Richmond wins two (8-3), UMass loses one (6-4), Davidson loses one (6-5), GMU wins one (8-6), Dayton loses one (8-8), SLU splits two (5-5), everything else is irrelevant.

We need all that to happen? Isn't it enough just if SLU loses to Richmond and Davidson loses to VCU?capezona wrote: ↑Thu Feb 25, 2021 3:57 pmOverall record, yes, meaning we will lose to SLU and still be in 4th if everyone else does their part.

Re: 2020-21 Atlantic 10 season
^ Yes. If we lose to SLU we will be 6-4.
If SLU loses to Richmond, the best they can finish is 5-5. If Davidson loses to VCU they will finish 6-5. Even if we lose to SLU, we will be 6-4 and ahead of these two. The only teams above us will be VCU, SBU and Richmond (who will be no worse than 7-4 if they beat SLU).
If SLU beats Richmond, we can still get in the top 4 if Richmond also loses to St. Joes.
Bottom line, beat SLU and we're in.
