[I]italics = still to play this weekend[/I]

Lasalle is flat out sneaking up on everybody. They’ve won 7 straight after we started them on that little losing streak at the beginning of conference play.

Lasalle is flat out sneaking up on everybody. They've won 7 straight after we started them on that little losing streak at the beginning of conference play.

That is one team I would NOT want to play in the Tourney. Steven Smith is an animal.

Does anyone have a current RPI for LaSalle?

Just ahead of us before today’s play. Kenpom had it at 97.

I doubt any other conference has their standings/RPIs as mixed up as the A-10.

  1. George Washington, RPI 36 SOS 215
    T9) Saint Joseph’s, RPI 55 SOS 4
  2. Temple, RPI 58 SOS 56
    T7) Xavier, RPI 66 SOS 82
    T4) Saint Louis, RPI 94 SOS 87
  3. La Salle, RPI 97 SOS 186
    [B][COLOR=Green]2) Charlotte, RPI 105 SOS 123[/COLOR][/B]
  4. Massachusetts, RPI 121 SOS 68
    T7) Rhode Island, RPI 133 SOS 117
    T4) Fordham, RPI 150 SOS 159
    T9) Dayton, RPI 183 SOS 116
    T9) Richmond, RPI 186 SOS 135
    T13) Saint Bonaventure, RPI 287 SOS 202
    T13) Duquesne, RPI 302 SOS 142

Most places had GW & us 1-2 in the preseason but who would have thought Lasalle, St Luois and Fordham would be 3-5? If they take 2 from the A-10, we have more clout than those 3.
