I've watched the ending of the last two Rider games. Both at Rider. Last weekend they came back and defeated FF in OT. And last night they almost got to OT, when a Powell potentially tying three didn't count as another Rider player (Murray) was fouled about a half second before Powell's shot was released.
Now the stands were mostly filled and their fans were enthusiastic. I'm just wondering if Rider is hurt by NOT HAVING WRAP AROUND seating? Does their stands as presently set up help the opposition, as the cheering for the home team isn't as loud?

Hofstra is really good. Played bad tonight and still won. They can easily win an ncaa game, but not going to be easy to get past Charleston, both teams belong in the tourney but that’s not how it works.
West coast conference has 4 teams that belong but will only get 2. It’s worse than ever now for mid majors.
Big 12 is strong but 9 or 10 teams from one league is a bit ridiculous.

But if they had to play any of the other play in at larges, 50/50 they would win. |

Both Loyola and San Francisco are very good. League is knocking each other off, but yes you’re right their records aren’t close to being good enough. I still think they have a 50/50 chance to knock off a bubble team at a neutral site.

I guess my point is I think the WCC is as good if not better than the mountain west and not much worse than the big east yet they won’t get as many bids as either. |

Watched the last 2 St. Mary's games and I am not impressed. I've watched a number of WCC games and really still think that outside of Gonzaga they really aren't that good. I know they had some early OOC success, but sometimes that's fools gold. In fact I believe we are better than St. Marys at this point. Gonzaga has not been as good as usual, but watch next Saturday's game against St. Marys. My bet is that they whack them pretty good. |
