Could the A-10 be back to multiple bids?
So far this season,
Davidson beat Maryland Big Ten
St. Bonnie’s beat Okla St Big 12
Dayton beat LSU SEC.
All on a neutral court.
Nice start to the season for the A-10 !!!

St lou over wyoming today too. Not as impressive as beating a P6 but still good. We need these next 2 to keep pace and to grow the brand.

Yep I just saw the Bonnies game and Schmidt does his usual quality coaching job. Hopefully Dukes can put a string of wins together!!

This makes last night’s loss that much more depressing.

St Louis lost to Vermont by about 10. Dayton up on St. Johns with about 4 minutes left.

Re: Could the A-10 be back to multiple bids?
Unfortunately the Charleston win is already quickly losing it's value. They are now 1-3 with losses to Vermont and Wyoming. They are currently down to 177 in KenPom. Not great for us.

Re: Could the A-10 be back to multiple bids?
Yesterday started out promising for the A10 highlighted by Dayton’s win over St. John’s. But went quickly into the crapper with St.Joes losing to Texas A&M Commerce, Davidson losing to East Tennessee St, UMass losing to Harvard and the Bonnies getting blown out by Auburn. Dukes had the only conference win last evening.

Re: Could the A-10 be back to multiple bids?
Yes, it fell apart quickly with StLouis getting beaten by Wichita St as well. Dayton made a good run to the final before losing to Houston who is a top 10 team.
A Duquesne win at Nebraska would restore prestige for the Dukes and the A-10., but they are off to a fast start. They did only beat Rider by something like 13 or 14.

Re: Could the A-10 be back to multiple bids?
The season is too early to pick what is or isn't a good or bad win. For DU. Just beat everyone. That Princeton lose was a fluke. The right call by the refs at the 8 second mark and we would have won. That won't keep happening all this season. Go Dukes.

St. Joes took Kentucky to overtime and Mason is extremely strong so far this year.

Re: Could the A-10 be back to multiple bids?
St Joey hung tough with Kentucky last night, took them to OT. No one will notice or care.
Whats up with Fordham, I thought they were set up to be really good this year, already 3 losses and all to lesser opponents, Cornell, Abilene Christian, Kent. Did their guys from last year transfer out?

Initial A10 MBB NET Rankings of the season; good to see 7 Top 100 teams:
#42 Dayton
#62 George Mason
#79 Saint Joseph’s
#85 Richmond
#86 George Washington
#91 Duquesne
#94 UMass
#121 Davidson
#125 Loyola Chicago
#127 St. Bonaventure
#138 VCU
#181 La Salle
#186 Fordham
#192 Rhode Island
#258 Saint Louis
Also, good to see in Ken Pom that the A10 conference is ranked 8th (ahead of the AAC, MVC and WCC).
1 Big 12 Conference +17.36
2 Big East Conference +15.03
3 Big Ten Conference +14.65
4 Southeastern Conference +14.44
5 Pac 12 Conference +12.42
6 Atlantic Coast Conference +10.93
7 Mountain West Conference +8.19
8 Atlantic 10 Conference +4.19
9 American Athletic Conference +3.36
10 Missouri Valley Conference +2.81
11 West Coast Conference +2.64
I read somewhere that conferences that have a +4 or higher rating have historically received multiple bids. Hope that is true and that the A10 can keep this up for the next 4 weeks or so.

The A-10 needs multiple bids. It increases our exposure.
