Opponents' scoreboard

[ValpoHoops]

I must say, I find this talk of San Jose very distressing.  I'll have you know I have my heart set on driving to the venue.

Just a leisurely 2100 mile drive from St. Louis, but you may wanna get started pretty soon. 

If it doesn't break the bank, I would obviously be flying.

KANSAS CITY!  KANSAS CITY!  KANSAS CITY!

Wedding Crashers
Dayton, Auburn Hills or Lexington!

I can't believe nobody said this:

3/17/13 Sunday

Virginia Commonwealth  56          (A-10 Championship at Brooklyn 1:00 p.m. EDT CBS)
Saint Louis                      62

St. Louis won the A-10 league and tournament championships, has won 15 of their last 16 games, has an RPI of 16, and is projected as a 4 seed.  We would have had no idea at the time, but as it turns out our 13-point loss at their place was anything but a bad loss.

I saw 5 games at Chaifetz Arena this year, and I think ours was the closest of the 5 (closer than Butler, VCU, Dayton, and USC Upstate)

Anyone going to fire this up for the post-season?

What teams should we be following now? Following our opponents doesn't seem relevant because the RPI doesn't effect the tournament anymore. If you're set on following our opponents just because we have been following them all year I will do it. None of our regular season opponents are playing on Tuesday/tonight.

[ValpoHoops]

Perhaps just the Horizon League scores?

[LaPorteAveApostle]

bbtds, you have to fire it up again...because how else will Chicago State fans know how they are doing in the CIT?

(they all come here since they don't have their own boards.)

3/19/13 Tuesday

Eastern Kentucky      69          (CIT 1st round 7:00 p.m.)
Gardner-Webb          62
Oakland                     87          (CIT 1st round 7:05 p.m.)
Youngstown State      99

[ValpoHoops]

(they all come here since they don't have their own boards.)

Both of them?

[LaPorteAveApostle]

I probably am still curious about our opponents, for old times' sake.  The Horizon League teams especially, of course.  With all of the seeding discussion, I'll certainly also follow the 12's, 13's, and 14's, and anyone they kicked into the NIT in their conference tournaments.

Not that you need to post all of that!  But, I probably have more of a rooting interest in the above than in the 1-4 NCAA seeds.

[agibson]

Wow.  YSU with a season high for scoring.

Going to break 100!  (Well, almost.)

I guess we can console ourselves with the notion that YSU's playing at home?

So these teams:

Akron
Boise State
California
Davidson
Harvard
La Salle
Mississippi
Montana
New Mexico State
Northwestern State
Oregon
South Dakota State
Valparaiso

Chicago State
Detroit
Eastern Kentucky
Green Bay
Illinois-Chicago
Kent State
Oakland
Saint Louis
Wright State
Youngstown State

Denver
Louisiana Tech
Norfolk State
Ohio
Stephen F. Austin
Stony Brook

Are there any other teams I should add?

What service!  Sounds like you have a script that does some of the grunt work?

Yeah, they totally deserved THAT seed

*grinds teeth

[atkins]

I thought we deserved a higher seed than Harvard, but I was completely wrong.  I suppose we're lucky we did not play Harvard. 

[LaPorteAveApostle]

I thought we deserved a higher seed than Harvard, but I was completely wrong.

I don't know...it's all matchups at this point.  certainly we match up better with UNM than MSU.
