With the Xavier win over SLU, here it is, to the best of my knowledge.
Really it's only 2 games that matter to us: La Salle-St. Louis, and VCU-Temple.
If we win, we will be the 1 or 2 seed. If we lose, we will be the 3 or 4 seed.
If we beat SLU, and Temple beats VCU= 1 seed
If we beat SLU, and VCU beats Temple= 2 seed
If we lose to SLU, and VCU beats Temple= 3 seed
If we lose to SLU, and Temple beats VCU= 4 seed
I am 95% sure this is true. Butler can still get a Bye, but this is just focused on us for the time being.

The most likely outcome of these games would have us in the #3 seed which I would be fine with

The 3 seed probably means Xavier on Friday now though. That will come into more focus after the UMass Butler game tomorrow.

So if we beat St. Louis, cheer for Temple.
If we lose to St. Louis, cheer for VCU.

I'd like to play Xavier away from their friendly confines this year- I think we would be much better this time around having played them once.

What a terrific season this has been! A doubtful outcome but still in the hunt for the top spot with 1 game left.
No dire need to win saturday from where I sit. Undoubtedly, prognosticators have us on the short end, but bring our A game (see VCU and Penn St games) and we can be in it and even win it. Certainly we can't play D and box out the way we did last night, ugh!...and expect to win.
This game is gonna be fun! What a statement it would make to knock these guys off! Our guys should be relaxed and psyched!

Our guys should be relaxed and psyched! Agreed, Explorer "Mayhem" beats VCU "Havoc", Saint Louie "Cloggers" and the rest of the A10 when we bring our "A" game. I would like another crack at Temple with a healthy Jerrell (he was vomitting on the bench that game) and Zack back. |

If we draw them in the Tournament then I think we're in a world of hurt. I'll take UMass or Xavier, preferably UMass. |

When was the last time we had back-to-back losses? The final two games of last season?
I don't think Temple can beat us twice in a row. They stepped on our throats when the shots weren't falling and we pressed too much on defense and couldn't close out possessions. We make shots and set up our defense more, that game's a different story.
