2 big games for the A-10 on Sunday. La Salle is a 6.5 point road favorite in a huge game for them taking on Rhode Island at 2 pm and Charlotte is a 1 point home underdog in another huge game against Temple at 4 pm.

Charlotte has impressed me a lot this year. Looking forward to this game.

No TV on for these games? Why the games on Sunday if no TV? (I can't remember if any of these teams played Friday or not)

Temple and La Salle played Thursday. So that's probably why the Sunday game for them, why not avoid a short break if no t.v. is impacted by it.

And yet the Niners are one point underdogs at home. I'm not sure what to think about that line after the game at Temple was so close, you'd think home court would be a bigger advantage for the Niners. Wonder if the computers hating Charlotte for all those close games against crappy teams is driving that (when the coach played with lineups). Then again, Temple seems to be playing better the last couple of games, so maybe it makes sense.

I expect Wyatt to get his points, but hopefully he doesn't have an insane performance and the Niners can keep O'Brien from going off again. Braswell had one of his few better games this year at Temple, wonder if he does even better at home, or do we get another dud? He's been a perplexing case this year.

Huge game for Charlotte regarding bubble positioning. Same can be said for Temple. A shame this game isn't on TV.

The Explorers need to play intense defense throughout. Dr. G needs to bring home a win. Game is Ocean network in Rhode Island and Comcast SportsNet in Philly area.

The Explorers have to keep winning. The last game of the regular season at Saint Louis should be huge.

I like the Explorers by 12 points in this one with Zack and Mills playing key roles.

I understand that Charlotte and Temple have agreed to play for exit fees today. Loser pays both.

Given the TV contract the BE just signed, this may not be too far from reality.

X-band '01

So if Charlotte wins today and both teams meet in Brooklyn, shouldn't that game be winner-take-all? Loser-pays-all?

La Salle with a huge comeback.. Keeping the conference's drive for 5 bids going into the last 2 weeks....

What a half for Temple!

Hard to fathom that this team lost at home to Duquesne and Canisius. Team has so much potential when Khalif gets some help. Scootie may be coming around and Pepper has looked good for the past few games. Great first half.

antboy

Niners apparently forgot the game was today. This looks more like the Niner team expected to finish 13th or so. Haven't hit a jumpshot yet I don't think. Temple's D is ok, but the Niners are also missing open shots. Just not impressive at all.

owlfan2272

Sloppy play in the 2nd half. Still a solid lead under 4 to play.
