Thursday's Selections -- Another Winning Day

Question

Record: 103-100-9Temple: 7-6-1&#xD;&#xA;Temple game played out like I thought it would. Very concerning that another game and another standout with others falling to the pack. I&#x27;m going to be interested in the X line because if it&#x27;s too high I&#x27;ll play Temple. &#xD;&#xA;Florida International -2 -- Way more talent then UALR plus they are lights out at home&#xD;&#xA;Denver -2.5 -- Hotter team at home with a short number looks delicious to me&#xD;&#xA;Maryland -5 -- Too much depth for the Hokies. &#xD;&#xA;Leans:Peay/TTech Over 151South Alabama &#x2B;2Northern Illinois &#x2B;5.5USC -6.5

At first glance, not a big fan of this Thursday slate of games.  Odd that the games that stuck out to me, were the same three you have, plus Hawaii at home, late.  Not sure at the moment if I&#x27;ll bet all four, but that looks like the list I&#x27;ll be working on.  BOL

I just dont think the A-10 is that good this year. I can honestly see 2 teams getting in. 3 right now would be the best possible scenario, with Temple, Richmond and X, but Richmond played like total shit in the 1st half. I dont think any other team has a chance...unless Duquesne goes 13-3 in conference, as they dont really have a big scalp OOC...if they were able to beat WVU or Pitt..different story.

Just an overall down year. I dont think Temple is as good as last year and certainly neither is X, and Dayton might not be either. URI is down, and Richmond IMO is down as well. Same for STL...the top half of the bracket is down.

Hopefully that changes...

Blakejeff · Answer

Crus I agree. I thought Richmond did enough in the OOC to get in and so did Temple but now all of their wins are going downhill except the Purdue one. Maryland and Georgetown need to pick it up for Temple.

You must have forgotten how well they played their first game of the season, at Pitt, short handed, a game they could have won outright.  How about their win at Richmond the other night?  Another A-10 win, on the road, at St Joes, last night.  What do they have to do to make you believe?  I believe. This might not be the strongest Ram team in recent years, but a team that can do some damage, and have a chance to win the A-10 tourney, at years end.  I for one, don&#x27;t think that Xavier, or even Temple, are that much better in a one and done situation. All we are saying, is give Blue a chance. Please stop selling you alma mater short. Not too many teams, from any conferance, want to come into the "drug center" and go toe to toe with the Rams.  Probably NIT, at best, but with the right combinations of things, could win the A-10, and go to the big dance.  BOL to both of you.
