Watch out for TEMPLE.

TAKE A LOOK AT THEIR REMAINGING SCHEDULE. THAT HOME FLOOR WILL PAY OFF FOR THEM. i see only 3 more loses. they are the suprise to challenge us for the regular season crown. debate?

[xavierj]

They already have 3 losses so 3 more will give them a 10-6 league record. That will not win the league. The league will be won by a team with no more then 4 losses.

Didn't they lose last night to Richmond? I still think URI and ST.Joes(despite last night' loss) are the main threats.

[xavierj]

This is how I see the league shaking out and Xavier better not lose more then 3 games the rest of the way if they want a chance to win the league. Xavier has the toughest remaining schedule by far.

Xavier: 13-3 (Losses at Rhode Island & St. Joe)
Rhode Island: 12-4 (losses at Umass & Temple)
St. Joe: 11-5 (losses at Xavier, Rhode Island & Dayton)
Temple: 11-5 (Losses at Dayton & at St. Joe)
Dayton: 10-6 (losses at Lasalle, Xavier)
Umass: 10-6 (Losses at Temple at Rhode Island)
Richmond: 10-6 (losses at Duquesne & Xavier, hm to Umass)
Duquesne: 9-7
Lasalle: 7-9
St. Louis: 6-10
Fordham: 4-12
St. Bonnie: 2-14
GW: 1-15

not to nitpick,but your wins and losses come out to 106-102. isn't that number supposed to be equal? if you make xavier 11-5 it would come out right at 104-104.

[xavierj]

I may have missed something so if it makes you feel better I will make Xavier 12-4, Dayton 11-5 and Temple 10-6 or something like that. Either way the team that wins the league will most likely be 13-3 or 12-4. I can see Xavier losing 3 on the road and those losses can come to any of their remaining teams they play on the road. I can also see Xavier winning out which is not likely. Bottom line I think the champ will be either Xavier, St. Joe or Rhode Island.

[joeybaloney]

geez, just poking a little fun. i agree that it will probably come down to x, rhody or st. joe's. i would be very surprised if x doesn't win the regular season though.

[treadguy]

if they can win at st. joe.........the rest are safe. i still stand by the claim, watch out for them. they own the tie breaker against us. could easily end up complicated at the top.

[xavierj]

Actually Richmond is more of threat then Temple. Richmond who beat Temple already and then won at Duquesne yesterday has a good chance to run the table and go into the Xavier game which is the last of the year at 11-4. Who would have thought Richmond would have a chance to finish at or near the top of the league.
