Richmond #30/#2...NCAAT projection...5 senior starters

Last season in the A-10 was all about Dayton. This year could belong to Richmond. The Spiders are coming off a 24-7 season and return their top seven scorers. That is all seven players who averaged over a dozen minutes per game. Last season Coach Chris Mooney took a team that was supposed to finish towards the middle of the pack in the conference and made them the clear second team in the A-10. With five senior starters, Spider fans are not just looking for their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2011, but to replicate that Sweet Sixteen run too.

Two years ago Saint Louis reached the NCAA Tournament. Last year they again won 23 games before the season was cut short. And nearly everybody from that deep squad is back. Coach Travis Ford’s team finally started shooting the ball better and continued to play their typical tough defense. The Atlantic 10 is going to be absolutely brutal this year, but this Billikens team has the depth and talent to find themselves on top of the standings when all is said and done.
