It's not often that the Atlantic 10 gets three teams into the Top 25 at the same time. It's even rarer that all three of those teams lose games within 24 hours of each other but thanks to the resurgent Saint Louis Billikens that's just what's happened. They shut down the league's best shooting team for a surprising 68-61 win. Rick Majerus's crew followed up their 20-point embarassment by taking Dayton to overtime but this was still very unexpected. Rhode Island has been piling up points all season while SLU has struggled to find the basket with any consistency. That makes last night's game the basketball versiot of the Judge Reinhold classic Vice Versa.
Saint Louis made 54.5% of their shots while the Rams converted just 34.3% of theirs. Will Daniels and Jimmy Baron average 35 points a game for URI, they combined for 22. Tommy Liddell, averaging 12 a night for Majerus, came up with 22 on 9-of-12 shooting. Up was down, black was white and the Rams are now 1-2 in the A-10.
I don't foresee it happening but the last two days have been a reminder of how close to the edge this conference lives. Dayton, Xavier and Rhode Island all lost the kinds of games that take away some of their luster and it won't take too many more for their tournament standing to get precarious.
