At VCU, at GW, home to SLU, home to Dayton, at Bona. What will our record be against three teams ahead of us and two behind us?
Record in final five games
- Thread starter Eight Legger
- Start date
I do also
We have to win out to have a shot at top four, so homered my vote and went with it
Some of you will be so disappointed.
You can literally hear the sound of it.

at VCU is a loss. We lost a very winnable game at home against VCU. I can't even recall the last time we won at VCU. at GWU should be an easy win. SLU is like a toss game we usually don't match up well with their physical play. We somehow pull out the win. Dayton is like a guarantee loss at this point too. Anthony Grant understands how to beat Mooney. I don't see us winning at St.Bon. That's their senior nite. 2-3
So as of now, it looks like 89% of us think the Spiders will lose at least 2 games, which means 89% of us think we have no shot at a top 4 seed and bye. Since we have no realistic chance of winning 4 straight games in the tournament, 89% of us think we have no chance for an NCAA bid.
"So you're telling me I've got a chance!!"
"So you're telling me I've got a chance!!"
add me to 5-0 because we’re right where we want to be.
Here are my thoughts.

1-4. Looking back at our NET ranking sheet, we literally haven't beaten anyone all year as good as VCU, SLU, or Dayton. So, why all of a sudden would we starting beating those teams. Bonnies, we beat a few weeks back, but it is their senior day and that is a really difficult place to play.
Could be wrong, but if I'm a better, this is what I am going with. That would make our regular season 18-13. No NIT with that record. We will just all be in wait and see mode to see if Hardt finally pulls the plug.

And there will be dead silence. And then we will get commitment from the transfer saviour. And then Hardt will give some type of under the radar statement of confidence. The beat goes on.

I would have been really pissed off about this in the past but have accepted it, now it doesn't really bother me so much.
Careful with that 1–1 prediction...there's a very good chance we face St. Joe's in our first game.

if the tourney started today we would play the winner of St. Joes/LaSalle and should we pass that brutal test would have a date with SLU.
Yeah, I think St. Joe's is probably the last team in the league we want to see, after what they did to us the last two times we saw them.

Dayton and Davidson both have really easy remaining schedules so we definitely aren't passing them.
The Bonnie’s gave St. Louis another loss. That helps kind of……
Correct but it also means the Bonnie’s only have 4 losses.
Easy GW win. Think offensively challenged VCU will have dismal night putting the ball in the basket and paper reads next day ..... SPIDERS CONQEUR SIEGEL. St Louis will pound the offensive glass as will as an athletic Dayton but UR can't lose two straight at home? Forget any possible upset of Bonny if the usual suspect Spider D shows up.
Positive 3-2 spin

I believe there are three postponed games still outstanding, but Mason was in two of them, so that would be GMU playing 16 while Bona, GW, Duquesne, and URI would play 17.
They didn't say what the exact formula would be, I think because they weren't sure how many cancelations there were going to be so they wanted to be able to apply some weighting factor if a team missed a ton of games or something, but I assume with everybody playing at least 16 (barring any further issues), they'll go with straight winning percentage.

Obviously, college basketball changed their metrics for Covid testing because miraculously after the rush of games that were cancelled in early January, none are being cancelled now, despite a fairly high number of Covid cases.
