Alright. Lots of decent numbers for A-10 teams with 6 in the top 100 and 11 in the top 122 according to KenPom. Anyone besides me think we can do significantly better in A-10 Conference play and why?

First, I think our schedule favors the team winning early and a couple of chances to beat some good teams in non-conf before the A-10 season. Second, this Dukes team is likely better than 110. We have a highly experienced center along with a couple of promising point guards to mix with returning players. And last, I like our A-10 schedule. Starting with Davidson, then VCU at home. If those two games can go our way, then the Dukes can likely finish in the top 5 or 6 this season.

Then there is the other factor, Dru Joyce comes from a family of coaching winners. He was the point guard in that famous run you see in "Shooting Stars". Then at Akron, then 12 years pro in Europe. The real ability of game day coaching is going to show this year, I hope.
