What the heck is Temple doing?

bprichard · 01-23-2013, 05:38 PM

Uh, Dayton has turned things back on. KD is a monster tonight. I should switch to pretty much any other A10 game. I can't stop watching the Flyers, though.

mm4cc · 01-23-2013, 05:42 PM

A lot of parity tonight. Many of the preseason top A10 teams seem to be struggling. This conference is wide open, and no game should be taken for granted (except for maybe fordham)

Temple about to kill any shot at an at-large bid if they don't turn it on soon.

X-band '01 · 01-23-2013, 05:46 PM

Fordham's been competitive, but they caught Dayton at the wrong time.

I'd love to see the Bonnies finish this one off and for Xavier to put together a few scoring possessions right about now.

This conference is schizo enough that it wouldn't shock me if they won at Butler come Saturday.

Wow what a win for La Salle.

mm4cc · 01-23-2013, 05:59 PM

Maybe this LaSalle loss will humble some of the Butler fans on the board.

owlfan2272 · 01-23-2013, 06:00 PM

Temple survives but going to face a pissed off Butler team on Saturday

owlfan2272 · 01-23-2013, 06:08 PM

Another nice road win for GW

**El Shaqtus** · 01-23-2013, 06:19 PM

SLU won a road game.

That was a baseline performance...it roughly shows how badly you can play and still win.

bprichard · 01-23-2013, 06:38 PM

What an action packed night in the A10. Xavier and Butler fall from the ranks of the undefeated and Dayton gets off the schneid in style. Throw in a St. Bonaventure road upset, a gutty GW win and St. Louis pulling away late, and there really was a lot going on. (And that blowout against Miami not looking too bad for Charlotte. They just eviscerated Duke tonight.)

owlfan2272 · 01-23-2013, 06:38 PM

VCU is the only undefeated left after 4 games.

Yea, that's the same cast of characters who blew out Charlotte. I think there's a stat somewhere, when Miami has had everyone on their roster healthy and playing, they are undefeated on the year. They got Reggie Johnson back tonight, and even though he wasn't a 100% it was clear they are a better team with him.

Well, as predicted, the GW-URI game was great. Andre Malone got red hot in the 2nd half for URI, but the freshmen duo of Joe MacDonald and Kevin Larsen won the game for GW.

With URI up 5 with the ball and about 4 minutes to go, MacDonald took a charge in transition. Then he hit a 3 to tie it with about 3 minutes to go. Then Larsen hit a 15 foot jumper to give GW the lead.

URI had the ball down 1 and ran an excellent set of screens to get Munford on Armwood, and Munford beat him for a layup that Armwood couldn't quite block.

But with :07 to play, Joe MacDonald hit a pull up jumper to win it (just like he did in the last minute to seal the UMASS win).

URI missed a three, and then Larsen blocked Hare's shot at the buzzer to end it.

Larsen scored all 10 of his points in the 2nd half, MacDonald had 11 of his 12 in the 2nd half. Very clutch game, and tough.

I like where both GW and URI are headed in the next couple of years.
