I'm sure the excuse o-meter down at Broad Street is operating on overdrive. They will all put an asterisk next to this L, because Baldwin was hurt. Still goes down as a L though, no matter how much they protest.
Well, I think Hayden Brown may have helped.
However I am expected Roche to make 8 threes against any and all ACC level opponents...
I think they are a good team. Have some good athletes and shooters; wouldn’t be surprised if they make the tourney and win a game.
If they are the fourth-best team in the CAA, as predicted in the preseason, it's a better league than ours this year.

CoC looking very good again against Colorado State. Makes last night feel even worse since pretty sure the CoC game will be a Q2 loss at the end.
The CofC game might end up as a Q1 loss if they keep winning. I think it is already a Q2 loss, for away games they only have to be in the top 135 to count as quad 2. If they ge into the top 75 it is quad 1.
How did CofC manage to schedule OOC home games against us, Davidson, Colorado St. and Virginia Tech!

Davidson, Colorado St., and VT games are all part of the Charleston Classic...very popular MTE run by ESPN, so they get decent names. You're only allowed to participate in a given MTE once every four years, and this just happens to be one of the years CofC is participating as they hadn't been in it since 2016. Even though they're usually a step down from most of the other teams in the event (not this year though!), the local draw is obviously appealing for the organizers.
And of course, our game is the back end of the home-and-home we signed with them a few years ago that got interrupted by COVID.
Charleston itself is obviously a popular destination, and with the Cougars getting to play in their local MTE this year, they've got a pretty sweet OOC schedule with 9 games in their home arena, a crosstown visit to The Citadel, short trips to Coastal and Presbyterian, and at UNC. So that UNC game was their only trip out of state until New Year's Eve.
They actually had UNC in Charleston last year, as this year's game concludes a 2-for-1 deal.

The Lambs poured in a solid 16 points in the first half, but somehow still got boat-raced by 15 (62-47) by a mediocre Memphis team. No Baldwin for a long time, and they're looking like a mediocre offense whose one piece of offense just got derailed. And Rhodes is moving closer to becoming their Mooney.
UMass 60, Charlotte 54 - Nice Myrtle Beach MTE championship
Davidson 66, ODU 61 - Good Charleston Classic bounceback to win 2 after losing to CofC
SLU 76, Providence 73 - Thanks for the revenge, A-10 brother
Charleston 77, VT 75 - Great win to take the Charleston Classic title
Drake 61, Wyoming 56 - Will face Tarleton (yes, they beat Belmont & BC) for Paradise Jam title
Fairleigh Dickinson 93, VMI 89 - Battle of cupcake opponents
Texas A&M 67, Loyola 51 - Bryce Golden w/ 0 points, 1 board, and a turnover in 11 minutes
Georgetown 69, La Salle 62 - Hoyas still bad, but Explorers worse
Memphis 62, VCU 47 - LOL

Loyola stinks. VCU stinks. Davidson stinks. We'd be in the top-3 so far in this league if we could have done about two or three things differently in those two losses. Frustrating. Go win this tournament and I'll consider it a wash.
I didn't see the VCU score till later in the evening but judging from the quietness on social media, I assumed VCU got their ass*s handed to them.
I watched a lot of it. they didn't look good offensively. not sure if Memphis defense deserves the credit or not. sloppy game.
Loyola has been a disappointment so far, as we used to discuss on the A10 board (maybe they still do ) the A10 suck factor in effect. Loyola will probably be terrible OOC and then win a ton of games in the A10. Maybe we can swing a mid season trade to pick up Bryce for a pick later. When they reach out to us for that pick, we send them Chris Mack's email address from Louisville.

God bless you. Ace is injured so VCU will argue these losses don't count. They do.

A Stat of note and something to keep an eye on. Yuri Collins from Saint Louis currently leads the nation in Assists Per Game, at 9.8 APG. Thats 1.5 APG over the next closest player.
Not so great performance from the early shift...

Hey, on the bright side, there will be no need for this thread much longer, between our opponents devaluing themselves and us losing every game against decent competition. Maybe you can start the A-10 tourney thread early, though?
