We are teetering on the edge of the kenpom top 100. I think a win against Dayton should send us into the top 100, which I am pretty sure is our programs ultimate goal. Lets do this!
On to Dayton
- Thread starter fan2011
- Start date
I can't wait for the watch party and that banner lifting is always the highlight of the offseason.
Then my question is 'ultimate' How about making and winning at least two games in the NCAA tourney? I hope it was humor, sadly I think there are some fans who would be happy with that.
I was going to make that a separate thread, stating that he was available...
Crews is the worst case scenario coach. Go from a top 25 team to downright horrific in a year. His A10 record after Majerus' players graduated was 8 - 26.
Just the potential of 4 games in 4 days we going to wish we had played JP or PF more during the season, especially if MW is out. Any team with such a short bench it would be almost impossible to run that gauntlet.
A win against Dayton put the Spiders squarely in post season tournament discussion. Even with a loss, UR should definitely play in one of the post season tournaments.
I really don't buy it. 7 man rotations are fairly normal in college basketball. Gonzaga, Austin Peay, UNC-Asheville, Iona, Fairleigh Dickinson and UNI are all teams that have won their tournaments with ~7 players so far this year (some even have 6-man rotations). Most tournaments haven't finished yet, I am sure there will be a ton more.

Wait, wait, wait. I thought we hung banners at KP T75. We're lowering our standards to T100 now???? Weak.
As best I can quickly tell Austin Peay is the only one who played 4 games in 4 days. The rest got byes so opponents had all played the same number or more games. We'll be playing a rested Dayton and if we continue the likely opponents will also have gotten byes. It's going to be very difficult, would be great if they can.
UNC ashville 4 seed played 3 games like all of their opponents, got bye
Stetson 7th seed played 3 games like all of their opponents played March 1, 3, 6
Iona 2 seed played 3 games like all of their opponents got bye
UNI 4 seed played 3 games like all of their opponents got bye
Farleigh Dick. 2 seed played 3 games like all of their oppenents got a bye
Austin Peay did play 4, (season had 8 guys with over 400 minutes and 2 more with 200) did play 7 in tournament and did play 4 days in a row
Holy Cross did play 4 ( season 8 guys with over 400 minutes a and 2 more with 200) Played Mar 1, 3, 6 and 9 not four days in a row. 8 guys with 10 minutes or more in tournament games
Gonzaga played 3 games like all of their opponents got a bye
3 out of 5 of the post season tournaments are not worth even discussing.
Anybody remember whether, or not, Spiders have ever beaten a one seed in the quarter finals of Southern, ECAC, CAA or A-10 tourney?
I can't...maybe these guys can make a little UR history today
Go Spiders!

Speaking of player rotations, you have to remember that the media timeouts at 16, 12, 8 and 4 minutes give all of the players a blow. While I am sure that playing games day after day is tiring, these are 18 to 22 year old kids who play basketball everyday anyway. They should be fine.
Yeah, I can't recall ever beating a 1-seed at this point. I think when we won the CAA in '98 UNCW was the 1, but that was in the finals. And they may have been the 2.
Please let us not go to one of the pay to play tourneys.
3/5/1990 JMU was CAA 1 seed in final.
1991 JMU lost as 1 seed to 8 seed Navy.
Beat 1 seed UNCW in 1998 final , lost to 1 seed Temple in 2010 final.
