Maybe our walkons should dye their hair Orange.

The guard with the dreds plays well on both ends.

They are a definite threat for a 3 seed if they keep winning. Very impressive.

Cap for St, Louis is a 4/5. No chance at a 3. Very good team however,

Not true. They lost 3 games w/out their starting PG. They have an 11 game win streak . They have 4 quality wins and counting. A 3 is well within reach.

 

[Marsh01]

Probably a 4. I think 5 is too low if they keep winning. Tough game for a potential one seed in the sweet 16.

That was my thought as well.

A-10 teams typically receive little respect in seeding above 5 line. Look at Temples resume about 3 years ago - seemed like a 3 but received a 5. I know A-10 is a little stronger this year.

Committee moved to full body of work approach (even value to entire season) a few years ao. Will not ive respect to an A-10 team with an average OOC. Injury impact will not likely be considered -- injuries of that level have never really been considered historically.

I guess its decent chance if they win out. I just don't think they win out.

I will cheer for them in the tourney, as long as they're not in our bracket
(I'll actually cheer for them to not be in our bracket)

A-10 migh get a little more of a boost with Butler and VCU though, right?

For reference, 2009/2010 record of Temple. I remember really debating on them deserving a 3, and I felt they were screwed. So maybe its a reverse bias..

It will. But its still ranked as seventh best conference where it as been quite frequently in recent years.

Must remember that Xavier is usually a lot better, and Temple somewhat better.
