What is good for the A10 is good for the Spiders. We have 4 teams in the NIT with 2 playing tonight. VCU started at 7pm and is up by 6 with 3 minutes left in the half and St. B plays at 11pm. Dayton plays tomorrow at 7pm and and St. Louis at 8 pm
 
Princeton has hung in better than I expected.
#20 would start on every A10 team.
#13 heard from these schools in the 1st 5 hours after he entered his name in the transfer portal:
Alabama, Arkansas, Vanderbilt, Stanford, Minnesota, DePaul, Northwestern, Creighton, Western Kentucky, Clemson, Cal, West Virginia, Butler, Ohio State, UNLV, Georgetown, George Mason, SMU, Cincinnati, Iowa State, Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, Seton Hall, Providence, Texas A&M, Miami, Memphis, Ole Miss, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Washington State.

Yes but I know you love the spiders so I’m trying to teach you.
he's loved this current Spider team for 6 days now. no, that's not entirely true. he still goes back and forth.

we're in the middle of one of the top 10 or so Spider hoops seasons and he's enjoyed it for parts of 6 days.
 
A10 is now 3-1 with St Louis loss. There are a number of very good teams playing in the NIT. Many of them would be in the NCAA if it wasn't for all the conference tournament winners. Oklahoma who Saint B plays next has a 39 NET.
 
UR was touting student attendance this year...up 65% to an average of 700.

SF, definitely an improvement!! I was there every game, and I would say they averaged about 300. Which is much better than the usual 30-50 students over the past 10 years.

Great for SBU, they will send lots of fans to MSG and this will be a very big deal on campus and in Olean. I am a lifelong Canisius fan but my dad got his MA at SBU and my great aunt worked there for more than 30 years.

Schmidt runs a nice program and it's good to see good people rewarded. They won at Colorado, won at Oklahoma, and won at Virginia, all without returning to campus. Pretty impressive.

Winning free throws by Lofton with 5 seconds remaining- different result from A 10 tourney where he missed two shots to either tie or win.
 
Well, if I told you before the season the Bonnies would play the last game of an A10 team you would have believed me. Just wouldn’t have thought it would be the NIT.

Happy for them and awesome to see them make this run. I hope they finish the whole thing off
 
The point of reference was budgets. And budget-wise they are Goliaths, compared to SBU.

for sure they have big budgets. Most of it is football, those guys also spend a crap ton more than Bona on olympic sports. Basketball would be the relevancy. If you're comparing everything else it seems like he's just going for an angle. Can make your point with just bball budgets.

Glad they're in MSG, that's cool & I'm rooting for them. I still don't like the tweet. The NIT has a way of leveling the field once it starts u don't know what you're going to get with some teams. Bona had a good team, underachieved, but it's no surprise to me they're doing well & beating those teams in NIT esp because u don't play against a budget in the NIT.

Also Wood let's not discuss points of reference "bid stealer" lol.
