With 5 minutes left in the half, SLU is leading Rhode Island 22-11. This could be a trap game for Rhode Island.
 
Yes, RI loses and great result for Spiders to probably finish 2nd in A10.. Thing is still have to beat RI or someone else in semis to get that 2nd A10 bid. One bid A10?
 
Still hoping for

2 UR
3 URI
4 SBU
5 SLU
6 Duquesne
7 Davidson
 
We benefit from making it farther than Rhody in the tournament or by beating them. The problem is if someone other than us or Dayton wins the tourney.

Regarding SLU vs URI, I'm wondering if we might actually start needing to worry about competing with Saint Louis for an at large spot as much as with Rhode Island. St Louis now has a double-digit road win at Rhode Island to go along with a blowout road win against us.

They also have two more losses in the a10 than we do and a NET in the 60s. They have zero chance at an at-large.

Meh. I think they'd need to get to the A10 Finals. They still haven't won 20 D1 games. Swept by Duquesne and lost to UMass. Yes, that UMass.

If they got to the A10 Finals, that's a different problem.

They crushed us at our place. ST Louis is a team we don't match up well against, I hope that we don't have to play them in the tournament. Any tournament...
 
I would say I'd like to see SLU end up in the 4/5 game and then beat Dayton...but if they beat Dayton and then beat us in the title game, that might take our bid.

I want another shot at Dayton. I think they can be had but they could go to the Final Four as well.

I'm pretty confident they would take someone else's spot if that happened. If we win out to the tourney final, I think we are a lock.
