Injuries, losing stars to the NBA, inexperience on the roster. Doesn't matter, in contention as usual for A10 titles and NCAA bids. Same shit, different day over and over again.
Standings question
- Thread starter SpiderDad75
- Start date
Would we have been the 4 seed if we would’ve won Tuesday night and come away with a victory tomorrow night? Or would we have also needed an SLU loss?
Remind me? Your post left a lot to be desired in terms of clarity and precision.
I thought it was pretty clear. If we tied with just SLU, they would have the tiebreaker ahead of us by virtue of us going 0-2 against VCU and them only going 0-1.

Standings question
We are a sliver in the 4th seed on there...between VCU and Dayton. Our 3rd seed sliver was so tiny you can't see it, but it should be there too. So us us and VCU beat the Bonnies. Allows StL to take 4th is more likely than us beating Dayton and Bonnies and VCU beating the Bonnies. If we lose...

I didn't even read Eight explanation because I knew it was never going to come to fruition. Beating, SLU, Dayton and St. Bonnies back to back to back would quite literally mean this team would have beaten 3 good teams in a row, when we really hadn't beaten one good team all year. It wasn't going to happen.
Ergo, any thoughts folks have about us going up to DC and winning 4 in a row has to have the most slimmest of odds considering if we would be good enough to do that, we would not be in the position we are now.
When you go back and look at our schedule, it is quite possible that we may not have beaten even 1 NCAA tournament team this year (I think Toledo is probably are best shot of that but they are gonna have to win the auto bid in the Mac for that to happen). Even the supposed "good teams" we lost to, Drake, Mississippi State, Maryland, Utah State are no where close to NCAA teams.

Best class ever’s encore performance couldn’t have been more underwhelming if they tried.
Hmm...looks like sbu -3. & this after bonnies getting blown out & possibly being without Ossunyi. And we lost last possession. Had we won & had outside shot at bye maybe it adjust by a point but still a dog. No way it moves 4 points to us.
we’d be favorites AT bona a tough place to play, on their senior night when they would have the bye to play for, & also accept there would be a 4 point Vegas swing which is huge. ??
OK sure...or it may be 1 reason why u suck at picking games.
I actually do not suck — I’m way up this season.
And yes, that’s right. A win on Tuesday with a chance for a fourth seed given a victory would’ve changed the dynamic completely. Right now, as you know, SBU has to win to get a fourth seed, which moves the spread a lot. Would’ve been very different if both teams were playing for a potential bye.
2022 has so far been great for me too. Glad going well for u that’s always fun. But your Spider picks suck. Bonnie would have had bye on line vs us regardless. Think even you’d admit a 4 pt swing is big.
My spider picks are as good as their record against the spread. I’m always picking them.
And we will never really know. We only know what the spread is with SBU playing for a spot while Richmond is locked into its position. If they beat Dayton, then we only really know it would’ve been better than +4.
Im taking the money line this game. Let’s go spiders!

You said you were talking the money line. I asked you if you were taking the Bonnies.
Hell no. I’m putting on the Spiders vest and cheering on the good guys. Come on 4ever!
If you are talking about the opening line, then I agree with GKiller. I believe it is based on the total possessions for the season, so one possession wouldn’t change much.My spider picks are as good as their record against the spread. I’m always picking them.

I am not going to speculate on the final line…
Come on this is basic, miteymite. The spread would be different if Richmond would have won against Dayton and playing for a fourth seed on Friday night. That’s without question.
This is basic. We would not have been favored. That’s without question. & that’s w Ossunyi status very much up in air he did not dress last game.

You can't have a rational discussion with LI about anything Spiders related. He finally came around on the fact that Moonie needs to go but is still hungover from all the cupcakes and koolaid to think straight about wins and losses.
You are pretty savvy if you have been putting cash on Richmond this year and winning.
Spiders are 13-16-1 against the spread. So no he's not that savvy.

Why is this hard to understand? Richmond <5% of bet allocation… only game I went big on Richmond was the moneyline at Drake, which was a crushing loss.
If you live in Virginia, you can't bet on the Spiders. If I could though, I would not be taking Spiders on the ML. If Bonnies plays with Osi, we would have an advantage for sure, I still think Bonnie gets it done on their home court on senior night.
I return your question with the same one, Eight Legger. Maybe wearing a mask all day is finally getting to you. 72-59 Bonnies?? Come on!
spiders05, pls don’t be mad at this post — all in good fun as I think 8 ball spider is doing in his post to me.
We have nothing to play for, they do. It's a hard place to play. They're a good team. We already beat them once, very unlikely that we sweep them. They're 12-2 at home. We may stay within 5-8 points for awhile but I suspect it gets out of reach in the end.
I think Tuesday took a lot out of us plus their senior day, I see us having maybe a 25% chance of winning.
Of course lately we are playing better away then at home

The Islander Cooler bets so well, but he admittedly stinks on Spiders the team he has more inside knowledge about than any team out there, still bets on emotion (ok fine I'm sure we've all done it), but yet he's so analytical otherwise & crushes it everywhere else! It's like the guy at the track waving around his 1 winning ticket when there is a pile of losers at his feet.
Also hard to believe when u keep saying the Spids would have been favored had they beat Dayton. Literally every data point says they wouldn't. Bonnies even opened at -3.5 not 3. If you think a 4-5 pt swing was happening on a Spids Bonnie game u don't get it.
But maybe u are riding a lucky streak. Post your picks here. If u r on a heater I'd gladly double up on your non Spiders ones.

I don’t think you’re following me apparently. I bet on Richmond to pay for my bar tab when watching the game. I like to bet and cheer for them at the same time…. Always. Spread generally 50/50 so why not. I will vary amounts when I feel better or worse about it but always bet on the good guys.
There’s also a rule in NY apparently so can’t take the money line tonight.
I’m still calling a Richmond victory. Let’s go!
