I know I'm jumping ahead posting about our final game against the Hawks. (we have 3 others).
BUT...............If St. Joe's loses to Dayton tonight, we would probably bounce them out of the NCAA if we were to beat them. I'm not sure how I feel about that since IMO they won't have a very good shot at it again for awhile.
On the other hand....................................

If St. Joe's loses to Dayton tonight Dayton has no shot tonight. No way the striped shirts let them walk out of there with a win. Look for another game where the Hawks double up the visiting team on the foul line. I will consider it a miracle if Dayton wins. Same goes for La Salle, although the way the team is playing now, officiating wouldn't make a difference. IMO, all St Joe's needs to do is win their two home games and one out of their two remaining away games (against St Bona and GW) and they will be in the NCAA tournament.

it amazes me that sju (pa) is going to get into the tournament. i know you cannot argue 2nd place in the A-10 but i look at their resume and it does not wow me at all. no good road wins. all their nice Ws (which are not many) are at home. unbelievable.

They are in play because: RPI of 38 Five Top 100 wins with two of them being Top 25 wins Only one loss to a 100+ RPI team (at # 158 Temple) Their RPI will not take a major hit over the last 4 games because they play all Top 100 teams. The only one that might really hurt them would be a home loss to La Salle. Last year, La Salle's RPI dropped over the last couple of weeks because three of their last four games were against URI (#202), Duquesne (#231) and GW (#148). Even with wins, the RPI took a hit, dropping around 10 spots from the mid-30's to the mid-40's. St Joe's shouldn't have that problem, as long as they win their two home games.

I know the Hawks have had success with the zebras at Hagan, but I think UD matches up pretty well and could pull out a win. They have guard length, athletic bigs and more depth ... but if SJU gets 1.75x or more FTAs than UD, it will be tough for UD to prevail.

UD in the past has gotten more home team calls on the road more then any A10 team except X. The crew will determine the outcome of the game one way or the other as it should be an exteremely close game.

Not really sure what "home team calls on the road" actually means, but it wasn't there last night. St. Joe's is on a roll fellas. Unless there is a complete meltdown the last 4 games, they be dancin'.

SJU of Penna. makes the tournament, Phil gets a contract extension. SJU of Penna. makes a remarkable implosion and falls short of NCAA bid. It's all good gentleman! In related news... Yesterday, I caught the end of 94WIP newbie Josh Innes' show. He went on a rant for 10 minutes about the Hawk mascot of SJU (PA.) Said the Hawk was awful and extremely creepy. Compared the Hawk to the infamous bear costumed-man in the movie "The Shining." I was expecting the next 50 callers to be pissed off Hawk fans but the rant was during the Dayton game. I can't recall a member of the media publicly ripping the Hawk, or SJU (PA) for that matter (outside of TOB and point shaving scandal) that's sacrilegious in this town. Innes' is pretty brash and opinionated, we'll see if his show floats here in Philly. www.philly.com/philly/entertainment/20140226_New_WIP_host_finding_Philly_the_city_that_loves_you_back_-_or_not.html

I don't think it's an awful mascot, but it's really not any better than 90% of other mascots out there. Other than always flapping his arms, what exactly is so special about that thing?
The pantheon is the Phanatic, the San Diego Chicken, the Suns Gorilla, Mr. Met, and whatever that Western Kentucky thing is.

Popped on here just to see if I could catch an update on LaSalle recruiting and just couldn't resist. I had no idea that La Salle fans had such a complex about SJU. I actually like and root for La Salle. It's kinda sad. I guess it's easy to give no thought to the middle child. You have to get an F on a report card or steal money from Daddy's wallet to get attention. To the poster who is stunned that we are making the tourney this year, please compare last years La Salle team and this years SJU team's stats. That's fine if you're surprised, but you must have been equally stunned last year. Are we going to the Final 4? Hell no, could we win a game or two? Yes, thats possible. Lot more to hate about Nova or Temple than SJU. Enjoy the cellar, I know it was nice to get out last year, but I'm pretty sure you can all tell you'll be back in it for a long time.

We've been pretty much mirror programs the past few years (flip flopping our Tournament appearance last year with your probable appearance this year). So if that's the case, then you can enjoy the cellar as well, with your reprieve this season, and I'm pretty sure you can all tell you'll be back there for a while as well. Good luck the rest of the way and thanks for dropping by.

Ban this clown and the other one who embarrassed himself on here two weeks ago. Temporarily suspend registration this week too. We had the back and forth in February and that was fun but now we don't need these sideshows as we focus on the remained of the schedule and A10.

Sorry fellas, was working. 1. You're wrong. 2. Even if you were right, this wouldn't be the place for it. 3. Even if this were the place for it, fuck you. 4. Welp.......see ya later.

Actually, when it comes to message board trolling, Temple does have St Joe's beat. In fact, St Joe's is a distant third behind La Salle's own, and a quick check of the A10 board should confirm this.
The only thing I dislike about the SJU fans was their so called perfect season 2004 (30-2), which was about as perfect as the New England Patriots of 2008 (18-1) but with twice as many playoff game losses and nothing in the way of a "super bowl" (aka Final Four) appearance.
Aside from this, SJU fans are spirited, and honorable towards opponents while they focus about their own accomplishments, and imaginary ones. Like, wouldn't it have been neat if they went 32-0 in 2004 and they almost dud!
