The final stretch

[Gallipoli]

In the final stretch, UR has the most favorable schedule. Each of the following teams has a tougher schedule down the stretch.
Rhode Island plays Davidson, Dayton and St. Louis.
VCU faces UR, Dayton, St. Louis and Duq and Davidson.
The Bonnies play Davidson, UR, Duq and SLU
Duquesne plays Dayton, SBU, VCU and UR

Each of these teams could end the season with more conference losses than the Spiders.

While I agree with you that Richmond has the easiest schedule down the stretch, In terms of making the NCAA Tourney, I would say that makes it the most unfavorable schedule. Other teams have more chances to get “good” wins. Richmond has 1 chance and then just can’t take “bad” losses.

 

[Gallipoli]

However, if we keep winning, we would be poised to seize 2nd place in the conference, heading into the conference tournament.

That would be an historic accomplishment for this coach. Let's hope he can get it done.

 

[VT4700]

We still have VCU, St. Bona., Duquesne, and Davidson, which going by the standings, is harder than St. Bona., since we have VCU and they have SLU.

 

[Gallipoli]

I still think the schedule favors the good guys.

I think Rhode Island could struggle playing at Davidson.

I think Rhode Island could struggle playing at Davidson.

I’m sure they could but why? They have been highly effective home and away since losing to us.

 

[Gallipoli]

Russell carried Rhode Island last time. He scored 26, no one else scored in double figures. The game is at Davidson and Rhody is only favored by 3. Plus Davidson has a better coach.

Davidson only has one home loss in conference -- to us. Rhody will be favored but I'm with Galli -- it's not a pushover game for URI.

 

[Gallipoli]

Tonight Davidson plays at the Bonnies at 7. Go Davidson.

Tonight Davidson plays at the Bonnies at 7. Go Davidson.

I expect Davidson to be a 1 point underdog tonight and against URI and 1 point favorite Senior night vs visiting lambs. They could still have an impact.

St. Bonaventure is favored by 4.

Davidson has been the disappointment of the league - but keep an eye on Grady. He struggled early in the year - especially in their OOC - but in his last 4 games he has scored 28, 19, 27, and 13. The 13 came against Fordham where they won by 30 and he only played 28 minutes. Davidson feeds off of him, and if he is on - they are a tough out.

 

[urmite]

St. Bonaventure is favored by 4.

Moving to that would not be surprising, but starting there is. Just like us against LaSalle, Vegas isn’t always starting in agreement with analytics anymore.

 

[Eight Legger]

Come on, Davidson

 

[urmite]

St. Bonaventure is favored by 4.

Did you make any wagers?

 

[ChoppinBroccoli]

Did you make any wagers?

Oh, I'm not a gambler.

 

[73CPA]

Davidson beats SB by 29 which puts UR in third place. An at large is doable if UR wins out. Tomorrow night is huge for both teams. If VCU loses, they would have to beat Dayton to have any chance. UR’s home stretch will not be easy, but they truly

 

[fatherspider]

If CM pulls out a sweep of the rest of the regular season... I will personally send flyers across Richmond demanding an extension and a 15% raise.

 

[Gallipoli]

If Rhode Island loses one more game and UR keeps winning, the Spiders are poised to seize 2nd place in the conference.
