La Salle looks like they are the first to post their schedule.

I definitely have a lot of thoughts, but not much time at the moment. I'll say that overall I like it. There may not be any big name schools, like St. John's, Villanova, or Temple, but I think removing the Philadelphia "Big 5" challenge this year has given them more flexibility to craft a custom schedule that more closely fits where they are as a program. I also really like how they do not have a game against Delaware St. La Salle has demonstrated over the last three years they are capable of winning that match no matter where it is, so I'm glad they moved on and hopefully they will create new rivalries.

The schedule provides opportunities for some wins, but the home tournament will be tough for them and the last tournament should be very difficult with no teams against the normal conferences they have success against.

Any other thoughts from the first A-10 schedule?
