Yeah honestly that was a bad result for us. Still nice to see them lose though

If you’re thinking of quality wins don’t bother. Unless we go 16-2 or better we have no at-large chance. And if we do go 17-1 I don’t think it’ll matter much if vcu is 47 or 55 in NET when we do.

It does seem increasingly clear that to maintain first place we might have to beat one (or both) of these teams on the road, which will not be easy and we simply CANNOT drop any home games the rest of the season.

I’d prefer not to lose to to GW and Richmond on the road (for obvious reason) but willing to sacrifice Davidson or Duquesne to the basketball gods to sweep SLU and vcu this year.

SLU has more games to lose this season than vcu does. vcu had an off-night on the road—happens to the best of them (but they are still the stronger team)—while I really don't think SLU is all that great. But, like I said, I'm generally pleased with either outcome that this game could have produced.

Quite the opposite. vcu is obviously finishing top four and them beating everyone other than us helps us secure top four as well. I don’t give a hoot about regular season champs. A10 or bust baby.
