The day is going fairly well so far with a few exceptions:

Temple, Dayton, Duquesne, LaSalle, URI all winners.

UofR losing to Marist 2nd half.

SLU is in a dogfight with Pacific.

Bona lost (not surprising).

Fordham lost to CoC, [U]at home[/U] - ugh.

GW lost to UMBC - That’s Maryland-Baltimore County if you’re not familiar. I believe that makes THREE wins over A10 teams already for UMBC. GW didn’t have Mo Rice (disciplinary), but c’mon.

UMBC now ranked #1 in the A10. :unhappy:

So far, at least X looks good against IU. Probably the biggest game of the night for the conference.

Out of conference:

Clemson crushes Gardner Webb 96-67. GW’s luster is nearly gone.

Davidson cruised over NC Central.

Depaul lost to [B]NCA&T[/B] 96-93. Yes. A&T. The worst team Ive ever seen in Halton. This is not a typo.

if UMBC wins the a10 tourney they’ll get our one bid at the rate we are going.

UMBC and Syracuse have nearly locked up the Atlantic 10’s NCAA Tournament bids.

Finals:

Richmond loses by 2 and SLU wins by 9.

A10 so far 6-4 today, with X-IU game pending.

Just wanted to stick this somewhere:

I’m predicting a win by BYU over the Holes tonight.

Looks like Xavier will make up for the A10 tonight. Up 70-57 on #8 Indiana with 3 minutes to play. This has been a fun game to watch!

FINAL from Chicago! 80-65 Xavier over Indiana!

BYU played well, but unfortunately holes just too much for them :frowning:

All 4 of these losses are uncalled for. The A-10 is pathetic and what is even more pathetic is we aren’t helping one bit…

NA, the worst team I’ve ever seen in Halton scored 9 points in one half… :rolleyes: :tongue:

BTW, in that GW @ UMBC game, the Colonials jumped out to a 24-13 lead, then let UMBC go on a 55-15 run!!! :wow:

What!?!?!?!?!? Seriously??

What!?!?!?!?!? Seriously??

Freshman Xavier Alexander (DA’s younger brother) got the start over Maureece Rice - who sat for disciplinary reasons. Didn’t do too badly for his first time - 19 minutes, 10 points, a three pointer, a blocked shot, and only 1 turnover.

Oh yeah, I’ve been meaning to take a look at his stats. Not too bad. I respect Hobbs for carrying out disciplinary actions. I respect that a lot.
