key game this weekend....Richmond at St Bonaventure. Kill 2 birds with one stone....ding Richmond's resume and possibly send the Bonnies to under 100 or get them closer, the importance of moving from a Q3 loss to Q2

Rutgers OOC Opponents

Bryant at St. Francis NY
Niagara at Fairfield

Bryant wins, Niagara loses by a point.

 

[bac2therac]

VCU down big at St Louis. The loss to Dayton more or less ended their dream but this makes it official. It also hurts URI's resume

 

[fluoxetine]

Yesterday

Bryant won (1-0)
Niagara lost (1-1)

1-1 for OOC opponents vs expectation of 0.81-1.19.

Our tourney probability is 89%, down 0.5% from yesterday.

Big day...but im rooting for Purdue

Big day...but im rooting for Purdue

Why? Our road game will be a Q1. Is it to try to get the first one Q1 or to keep us ahead of Michigan ?

I prefer Purdue and Minny to keep losing so we stay out of day 1. That optically for the program alone is a win.

And I don't want purrrdue playing for anything when RU plays them. I want them deflated.

I do not care about the Big 10 standings. I want to make the NCAA. Purdue making the tourney would give us 7 wins vs tourney teams and if they can get to a Q1 that becomes our 4th Q1 win. They are 32, will not take much to move them up

 

[bac2therac]

also big game is Virginia at Pitt...huge game for RU sos and to give UVA a loss they cannot afford

 

[kcg88]

Memphis not dead yet

 

[kcg88]

NC State beating Florida State at halftime. They'll be close to a lock with a win here.

 

[kcg88]

Bad loss for Mississippi State who was on the 4 in/4 out line.

Bad loss for Mississippi State who was on the 4 in/4 out line.

Yes..and i wasn't impressed with their resume before this loss. They basically beat no one

Oklahoma looks like they are going down...pushing them to the play in games with this loss

 

[bac2therac]

Memphis not dead yet

Meh..3 quad losses..wins are just to aac schools..longshot

 

[biazza38]

Oklahoma got smoked on the road by Ok state. A last place team
FSU about to beat NCState

Purdue mKing the tourney also takes 1 tourney spot away. I was rooting for UM. Just as im rooting hard for the bonnies tn to knock richmond off the bubble

just about to post the same thing

 

[G- RUnit]

And as predicted bubble getting larger. Don't look now but hello UCLA. Where have you been?

 

[RU89]

And as predicted bubble getting larger. Don't look now but hello UCLA. Where have you been?

Exactly, worried about UCLA now

 

[biazza38]

The Pac12 can only get so many bids. It’s a garbage conference

 

[Big boy stan]

New And as predicted bubble getting larger. Don't look now but hello UCLA. Where have you been?

...and Stanford with their big win at Washington. Here comes the Pac12?

 

[AreYouNUTS]

NET of 90 guys...

And as predicted bubble getting larger. Don't look now but hello UCLA. Where have you been?

Exactly, worried about UCLA now

 

[biazza38]

LSU at South Carolina right now. Want LSU
Grown DePaul at 9. Want DePaul
Kentucky home against Florida on ESPN now. Need Kentucky

 

[bac2therac]

...and Stanford with their big win at Washington. Here comes the Pac12?

Stanford win on Thursday over Washington didnt move any needle. It broke a 6 game losing streak, they will need more

 

[bac2therac]

Exactly, worried about UCLA now

their overall net is trash and they have a Quad 4 loss and a Quad 3 loss, their wins are good for sure Arizona and sweep of Colorado but thats it...they will likely need a sweep of the Arizona schools to get in, next week to realistically put themselves in

 

[bac2therac]

both the Rhody-Davidson and St Bonnies-Richmond games are on tv right now for those interested

Rhody i think is in. Richmond is a true bubble team were competing with. Lets go bonnies. Put some cash on the bonnies tn so watching this one

 

[bac2therac]

Rhody isnt in yet..Providence is their best win. They can easily play their way out. Lose this game and Dayton and they are on the bubble.

 

[Rhuarc]

Bonnie's up 10 with 17 minutes left. It's on NBC sports network.

Davidson beating URI by 3 with 50 seconds left. CBS sports network.

 

[RUtrumpet92_rivals498139]

I like DeCourcy's definition: nobody is in unless they can lose all remaining games and still will be in. That's not Rhode Island IMO, especially if Davidson takes them down here.

 

[Rhuarc]

Davidson/URI tied with 5 seconds left. 2 Davidson guys go 2/4 at the line and give URI a 3 ball to tie it.

Update: Going to OT.

 

[bac2therac]

Davidson blew it there....too many missed free throws and now its overtime

We should have had a watch party. I'm in Hopewell, could have forced our way into @T2Kplus10's palatial estate.

 

[bac2therac]

party at Mooyahs

 

[bac2therac]

Omg Davidson refuses to close this game..wtf

 

[bac2therac]

URI steps out of bounds running the ball up. Davidson 1.6 up 2..they go to monitor after another muffed inbound

Big result here and bonnies looking good

 

[bac2therac]

In their previous game, Davidson had a 21 pt lead at 4-21 St Joes and lost on a last second 3

Haven't seen much of URI this year but they don't really pass the eye test to me

And the ball is awarded to URI..wow. Davidson doesnt want to win

 

[Rhuarc]

URI goes down in OT!

I agree that Davidson tried to give it away.
