CTC Day Thirteen Preview: The A-10 Semis

Rough day for the Philly contingent of the Atlantic 10 yesterday, as all three Big Five A-10 teams lost in the quarters, setting up an underrated Final Four here.

With the field going 6-for40 between the first two games yesterday, it’s no surprise that no one hit all 4 quarters.  Teddy, who hit the huge UMass upset and leads this conference by a wide margin.

#4 St. Bonaventure vs. #8 Massachusetts
A-10 POY Andrew Nicholson led the Bonnies over St. Joe’s yesterday, and they also caught a bit of a break when Temple went down to UMass in the early game.  Now, St. Bonaventure has a decent shot to get to their first A-10 title game in quite a while.

This game is already an L for everyone in the field.

#2 St. Louis vs. #3 Xavier
The Musketeers avoided an NIT-clinching loss yesterday with a dramatic win over their arch-rivals, Dayton.  St. Louis outlasted a game LaSalle team, setting up one of the more underrated games on a great day of hoops.

Gross, Lynch, and Scoot had Dayton here.  Waters had Richmond.  The other 16 all have a shot to pick up points here.  Alexi, Dave, J, KA, Primm, and RSmith have XU.  The other 10 have St. Louis.
