Saint Joseph’s/Texas on Espn 2 at 3pm…hope Saint Joseph’s can pull it off.

La Salle goes OT again but pulls out a W over Valpo. Thought missed FTs at the end of regulation would get them against like it did against Southern Miss but fortunately not this time as the Explorers win 75-70.

Wow, not the way DK wanted to start things off in his first home game as UMass coach. With the exception of Tony Gaffney, who’s definitely looking All A-10 (averaging 14.5 ppg, 13.5 rpg and 5.4 bpg and had 20 points, 13 rebounds, and 8 blocks last night), the Minutemen are not looking good.

Jax State went on a 9-2 run to end the game and in the last minute, UMass missed FTs that would have kept them in the lead. That on top of a less than stellar crowd (4,800 in 9,500 seat Mullins Center) and losing to a team that until this past weekend (at Georgia State) hadn’t beaten a non-conference foe on the road in over 5 years! BTW, JSU (located in northeast Alabama near Anniston) is a member of the Ohio Valley. And yes, that one will be a drag on the ol’ RPI. Geez!

If UMass finishes second in conference, Xavier is the only team getting in.
