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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
