2019 Atlantic 10 Men's Basketball Championship

[CE80]

I can wait until the off season to talk about next year. I am very much interested in this year's Flyer team. It looks like the Flyers are destined for a rubber match with SLU on Friday night but looking at the result of the possible match-ups, that is not a given.

The Richmond v Fordham winner plays SLU Thursday night.

Richmond squeaked by Fordham 72-69 at home.

Richmond beat SLU in St. Louis. That was the Billikens 3rd loss of a 4 game losing streak. That was after they had decent non-conference results and started the conference season with 5 wins in a row.
SLU did beat Fordham 63-60 in the Bronx, not taking their go ahead for good lead until 2:06 left in the game.

So in all likelihood, we will be watching that Billiken - Flyer match-up on Friday but it is not a sure thing.

	Richmond UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND Founded in 1830, the private liberal arts university in the Commonwealth boasts 2,800 students in 57 majors within its picturesque 350-acre campus. The Robins School of Business is one of the Top-20 business schools in the country. Nickname is the Spiders and are fellow A10 Conference members.

	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.

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.
