Will SLU make the tourney?

[slide_into_first]

Which tourney?

The A 10? Yes. The NIT? Yes.
The NCAA? The beauty of their remaining sked is that they have the toughest remaining matchups of any team in the conference. That's both the good news and the bad. If they beat Xavier and Temple at home and Dayton on the road then they are almost certainly in. That would be a remarkable feat but it would almost certainly give them a March Madness berth- unless they suffer another bad loss. Already having lost to Iowa St and Bowling Green plus the hideous loss at Richmond they can't lay another egg.
Or win the A10 Tournament.

Oh, and I don't think 11-5 does it.

If they finish 4th-5th and 11-5 the Majerus politicking will take effect. Watch.

Not a chance. Their rpi is in the 80s currently. 11-5 means 3-2 the rest of the way. No way they get in finishing out with 3 wins and 2 losses. Then add in an A10 tourney win and a loss making them 4 and 3 down the stretch. No way.
Possibly they can afford one loss and making it to the A10 championship.

You're a mean person.

I think that is possible. Dayton maybe a hard team to beat, but I think they have a chance. They have to beat Xavier and Temple at home and win of those two games on the road.

It is possible. That's what I said. Their difficult remaining schedule benefits them ... if they win.

That is true. But they can't be down by double digits at half every game.

Bwahahahahaa. And I go to SLU. Maybe next year, good chance in 2 years.

The Billikens will win 3 of their last 4. Some people are incapable of thinking outside the box.

This.

The win against UMass helped.

This is much more likely. This team is a MONSTER in two years though...definitely capable of being ranked if Willie Reed doesn't get bad advice and go to the league early, and Ellis likes playing in the states.

This is true. But Ellis needs to get better advice from Majerus. He took 8 3 FG against Dayton and only made two.
