Turtle

Hi everyone my name is Turtle and I finally decided to join the discussion. Figure I would use my first post to share this article I found.

Here's who made the cut from the A-10

20) Dec. 15 - Indiana vs. Butler in Indianapolis

23) Dec. 15 - Alabama at VCU

24) Jan. 19 - Gonzaga at Butler

31) Jan. 5 - Temple at Kansas

32) Dec. 8 - Duke vs. Temple in East Rutherford, N.J. (Izod Center)

36) Dec. 22 - Temple vs. Syracuse in the Gotham Classic (NY)

41) Dec. 29 - Xavier at Tennessee

49) Nov. 28 - Saint Louis at Washington

51) Dec. 1 - St. Joe's at Creighton

52) Dec. 31 - St. Joe's at Drexel


* TBD - Cincinnati vs. Xavier - No date has been set yet


Disappointing to see no A-10 teams in the top twenty games, but luckily it looks like the A-10 noobies (Butler and VCU)are already making an impact on the conference. I would think that Xavier vs. Cincinnati would have been in the top twenty if a date had been set. Temple made the list three times with games with Kansas, Duke, and Syracuse.



Here is the full article. http://www.cbssports.com/collegebask...12-13-campaign

Turtle is fine but I like turtle soup even better!

I just want the team I support to be in a stronger conference. I'd prefer it to be a stronger A-10! To me that would mean every member would have at least 2 trips to the NCAA Tourney and 5 winning seasons during each 10-year cycle. It would also be great for every program to seriously challenge for a league title (either regular season or Tourney) at least once during that same period of time.

Now I know this may shock some of you, but I am in fact a turtle. Now I know you meant no offense, but I do not like your joke. Both my parents were killed and turned into Turtle soup.

It's a hard life being a turtle. I can't even count the number of times I've been stepped on in the Riley Center. And these jokes don't make it easier.

Not to be a pendant, but Reilly Center.

I'm disappointed to see that SBU v. Canisius didn't make the list. I guess it is only interesting if you like seeing the class of WNY beat up some terd brained cretins from Buffalo.

Its a shame that Xavier wussed out on Miami (Ohio). That would have been top five for sure.

Methinks you are only a mock turtle.

Hey, if our newest Bona poster wants to be a turtle, so be it. We will embrace our new turtle as one of the family. My son wanted very much to be a turtle, and he went off to Maryland to follow his dream. Fear The Turtle!

They did. Don't tell my son, but I was not disappointed with those results.

SLU at Washington is not even SLU's biggest non-conference game. SLU plays at Stanford, New Mexico at home, and 2 of Kansas, Washington St, and Texas A&M in the CBE Classic.

VCU will play 3 of Duke, Louisville, Memphis, Missouri, Stanford, Minnesota, or Northern Iowa at the Battle 4 Atlantis. Absolutely stacked tournament. They also get Alabama, Wichita State, and Western Kentucky at home, and Old Dominion on the road that we know of.
