[Medford]

12 A-10 teams kick off their season tonight, all are double digit favorites including OOC opponent @ Bona.


Oakland is a 19 point dog @ OSU


Youngstown St is a 4 point dog at Louisanna, all other OOC opponents appear to be clear favorites tonight (though some are against D2 teams)

	Fordham FORDHAM Fordham University is an independent Jesuit university established in 1841 as St. John's College on old Rose Hill Manor in the village of Fordham, then part of Westchester County in the Bronx, NY. The name Fordham is derived from the Anglo-Saxon words "ford" and "ham," meaning a wading place or ford by a settlement. Rose Hill is the name given to the site in 1787 by Robert Watts, a wealthy New York merchant, in honor of his family's ancestral home of the same name in Scotland. The College was originally staffed by diocesan clergy. The name was officially changed to Fordham University in 1907. Fordham's 10 schools enroll 14,448 students. There are 7,652 undergraduates, of whom 3,842 live in University-managed housing either on-campus or in the local community. Fellow members of the A10 Conference. Nickname is the Rams. Athletic claim to fame is consistent mediocrity in nearly all sports and few A10 title winning programs.

[Chris R]

A10 went 11-1 tonight. Even though its against creampuffs, 11-1 for this league is legend status.

#23 St. Mary's beats Stanislaus State 107-28. Hard to even imagine what an 80 point win looks like.

Maybe the Flyers vs my intramural team in 1965, "Tessie Gardella's Beaver Shooters". (We tried to be comic relief in the intramural league until we were threatened to be kicked out, and then we picked up a friend of a friend, a former high school starting guard and actually won one game. In the old UH hangar.)

[Swampy Meadows]

Ahhhh, the old UH hangar. I majored in pickup ball there my freshman year and my GPA reflected that fact.

Why in the sweet name of Jehovah do you schedule that game if you're VCU? First game for your new coach, Baldwin left with Rhoades ... talk about the quintessential trap game.

Imagine if Archie left Indiana amid scandal and landed at an HBCU. Think we're taking his call for a buy game? I hope the answer is HELL NAW.

Anyone think that Coach Wade has seen the light and become a strict rule follower? If anything, with nothing to lose, he's more emboldened now. And to think he started as a student manager under the very respectable Oliver Purnell at Clemson.

How embarrassing to even schedule that game (DII). Remember when we toppled St Joseph (IN) 91-59 on 12/6/16? IIRC that was a date we couldn't secure another D-I buy opponent. That school proceeded to close the following Spring:

How about a 69 point blowout, San Francisco 128-59 over Bethesda. Bethesda has a 25 man roster, unfortunately the rule limiting you to 5 players on the court at any one time still applies. Maybe 5 against 8 would have been a better game.

The school has less than 400 students and would probably not be ranked among top LA high school teams. Nothing of value learned here.

DePaul loses its home opener to Purdue- Ft. Wayne 82-74. I watched about 5 minutes of the game. DePaul’s new arena was about 10-15% full. DePaul doesn’t like to play defense. Looks like a long season (again).

FWIW, at some point, PFW dropped the Indiana from their name and is no longer IPFW. I don’t know if IUPUI has dropped one of their initials? I hope not… IUI would sound like a promissory note, PUI would sound like defecation. Given the state of higher education at many schools, perhaps one or the other is appropriate.

[udisit19]

It's Wednesday 11/8, and a lot of games are still warmup matches against D2 competition:

SLU hosts Lincoln MO at 8:00 PM on ESPN+

But some matches have Division I teams against other DI teams and some are expected to be competitive games:

FAU #10 @ Loyola Chicago - 7:00 PM (FAU -6.5)
W Illinois @ SMU - 7:00 PM on ESPN+ (SMU -18.5)
Troy @ Ohio - 7:00 PM on ESPN+ (Ohio -7.5)
Southern @ UNLV - 10:00 PM (UNLV -21.5)

	Saint Louis SAINT LOUIS Saint Louis University is a Jesuit, Catholic university ranked among the top research institutions in the nation. The University fosters the intellectual and character development of more than 12,700 students. Founded in 1818, it is the oldest university west of the Mississippi and the second oldest Jesuit university in the United States. Located in St. Louis, MO, and just five minutes from the Gateway Arch, SLU offers 85 undergraduate programs and over 50 graduate study tracks. Over 99% of the SLU faculty hold the highest degree in their respective fields. Fellow member of the A10 Conference. Nickname is the Billikens, but also commonly known as "Sloo", the phonetic pronunciation of the school's initials. Athletic claims to fame include multiple national titles in men's soccer and men's basketball star Larry Hughes.

[udisit19]

W Ill 53
SMU 90

Lincoln MO 66
Saint Louis 102

#10 FAU 75
Loyola Chi 62

Troy 70
Ohio 88

Southern 85
UNLV 71

Two of these teams, Troy and UNLV visit the Flyers in early December. Based on these results, the Flyers will need to get wins. Southern over UNLV in Las Vegas seems like a surprise. SMU still looks like a quality opponent. The Mustangs play again today. Loyola played alright against #10 FAU, but not good enough for a victory.

Beyond Dayton's opponents;

Lipscomb 70
Drake 85

Arizona St 56
Mississippi St 71

Two upsets brewing Davidson over Maryland and Arizona over Duke.
Posted via Mobile Device

[Fudd]

Davidson and Duquesne look very good to me. Duquesne especially, IMO. They have a well rounded team with all the pieces. We are not the clear favorite in the A10, IMO. I expect the league to be better than I hoped this year. Northwestern was a disappointing result for out at-large resume, but I am beginning to think that the A10 might give us some opportunity for good wins.

	Duquesne DUQUESNE Duquesne University is a private, coeducational university, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania located on 48 secluded acres, on a bluff above downtown. Founded in 1878 as a Catholic college by the Order of the Holy Spirit. It is the only Spiritan institution of higher education in the world.

[ud2]

LSU lost yesterday at home to Torvik #247 Nicholls State, 68-66

[springborofan]

The A10 is 20-3 after yesterday. Two of the losses are to #10FAU (@Loyola) and @Northwestern (UD). The only inexplicable loss is VCU losing to McNeese St.

In years past, middling A10 teams lose to the StoneyBrook, Bryant, and other MEAC, America East, Patriot, and North East conference type schools which kills the A10. SO FAR, that hasn’t happened!

Today, A10 schools play powerhouses such as Cornell, William & Mary, Northeastern (are they in the North East conference?), Canisus, Siena, and Eastern Ill. Six winnable games if the A10 wants to finish as 8th or 9th best conference.

[ud2]

UNLV got smoked by Torvik #316 Southern at UNLV in UNLV's season opener, 85-71, wow

[jack72]

Is scoring up this year? Fifteen teams last night scored 100 or more, including St Joe's, who put up 100 on someone called Stonehill. Of course most of these were against really weak opponents.

LaSalle, RI, GW and St Joe all go to 4-0, but Loyola goes to 1-2 with a loss to UIC. Oh what did we expand with?

	St Joseph's ST. JOSEPH'S Founded by the Society of Jesus in 1851, Saint Joseph's University advances the professional and personal ambitions of men and women by providing a demanding, yet supportive educational experience. One of only 139 schools nationwide with a Phi Beta Kappa chapter and AACSB business school accreditation, Saint Joseph's is home to 4,200 full-time undergraduates and 3,100 graduate, part-time and doctoral candidates. Located in urban Philadelphia, SJU is a fellow member of the A10 Conference. Nickname is the Hawks. Athletic claim to fame is is the Hawk mascot, a university student on full scholarship who wears a Hawk uniform and flaps his wings continuously for an entire athletic event. School spirit slogan is "The Hawk Will Never Die."

	LaSalle LA SALLE In 1863, La Salle University was established through the legacy of St. John Baptist de La Salle and the Christian Brothers teaching order, which De La Salle founded 300 years ago. Located in Philadelphia, La Salle is an educational community shaped by traditional Catholic and Lasallian values. La Salle's main campus is an ideal place for students to pursue an education.

Wake Forest 60
Utah 59...in Charleston

Utah won, one of their big men had 29 points, he is a good-looking player, Carlsen? They have another big dude also. Big front line those two.

[Glen Clark]

UMass - Lowell (remember them?) playing a buy game in Tempe, Arizona had Arizona State on the ropes: 65-54 with 2:16 left in the game. Then the Sun Devils pulled a UD and closed the game on an insane 17-4 run for a 69-71 victory.

Sincere Carry (SP?) at SLU (and formerly Fordham) broke his foot yesterday they said on the broadcast of their game today), didn't say how long he will be out, but I assume it will be a few weeks at a minimum if not season ending.


SLU is down 15 to Vermont with about a minute to go.


The difference in the crowds b/w what I saw yesterday and today at the Myrtle Beach Classic games with SLU playing and what I saw yesterday on the other side of the state w/ UD playing is like night and day.

LSU beat N Texas 66-62

[CT Flyer]

Even with the great win by the Flyers it was not a good night for the A10, going 3-5 on the night.

[Glen Clark]

The A-10 reverted to the norm tonight, going 3-5.
UMass lost to Harvard in OT, Davidson lost by 2 at ETSU, and St Joe's lost to Texas A&M Commerce by 3 (despite Lynn Greer's 13 points).

The A-10 is now 39-14 on the season.

Why in the world did Davidson schedule #298 ETSU as a true non-con road game? Talk about deviating from the formula!

I can remember bits and pieces of watching that game in the 1972-73 season on the B&W TV in our living room with my sister and parents. I remember thinking that, for a team from a big city, they sure played in a tiny, little gym.

The A-10 went 4-1 today, with the only loss being Rhode Island vs Northwestern (62-71).
The four wins, though, were by a combined 12 points.
The conference now stands 43-15 on the season.

They likely thought ETSU might be a q1 or q2 road game IMO. Over the last 16 years, ETSU has been a q1 road game once, and a q2 road game 6 times. They were 3 spots short of being a q2 road game a 7th time. So, almost half of the time they were a q1 or q2 road game.

Scheduling is tough, they probably thought rolling the dice on trying to get a q1 or q2 road game out of playing at ETSU was worth it.

If you can't beat #298 on the road, then scheduling is the least of your problems.

Worth noting that LSU won their last 2 games and SJ won today too so both went 2-1. Hopefully we make it 3 teams in a row that go 2-1.

Seth towns is in his 8 year of college, possibly we can call him a Doctor by seasons end


UC played at Howard because they wanted to play at a HBC, plus take in the things in/around DC. I don't know if they get a return game at all, or how the arrangement is finalized, according to their coach it all came together pretty late when UC was looking for 1 more game and Howard as the best option for the dates they had.


Honestly, I wish more college basketball teams would do similar things. Play a road game at a school a level or two below what their own level and challenge themselves in what I assume was a hostile venue ready to get a big home win.

Houston goes into Norwood and escapes with a 66-60 victory.

Thankfully I only watched the last 15 minutes of the game as this was quite ugly and tough to watch. Zero flow to the game that felt as though whistle was blowing every 10 seconds. Houston was 3 for 18 from the field in the last 15 minutes of the game.

Looks like it was a home and home. Davidson won at Wright State 102-97 in double overtime last year.

ETSU is usually a q2 game if the game is at ETSU.

If you want to know how something like this happens, SIU shot 18-29 from three point range and finished the game with an effective FG% of .821%. You are going to outscore the 1984 Celtics with those numbers.

Hot shooting hides a multitude of sins. SIU lost by 30 earlier in the week to Indiana State because they didn't shoot EFG 82% from the field.

So, you’re saying their offense is offensive?

If this keeps up, there’ll probably be a new face prowling the sideline at SLU before next Christmas. I can’t imagine they’ll accept real mediocrity for very long.

Understood, and agreed. In SLU’s case, though, I don’t think they’ve had a good shooting team since the last of Majerus’s recruits graduated nearly a decade ago. They might have a good shooter or two in any given season (Ex. Jimerson), but as a whole, they belong to the Local Ironworkers 427 (as in, 4-27 from the field, drawing nothing but iron).

Rose Hill is the name given to the site in 1787 by Robert Watts, a wealthy New York merchant, in honor of his family's ancestral home of the same name in Scotland. The College was originally staffed by diocesan clergy. The name was officially changed to Fordham University in 1907. Fordham's 10 schools enroll 14,448 students. There are 7,652 undergraduates, of whom 3,842 live in University-managed housing either on-campus or in the local community. Fellow members of the A10 Conference. Nickname is the Rams. Athletic claim to fame is consistent mediocrity in nearly all sports and few A10 title winning programs.

I expect there will be some new teams in the rankings this week - ranked teams went 11-6 Friday & Saturday.
