Re: Around the A10, 2023-2024

yeah, it would take perfection to get 3 A10 teams in. of course, getting 2 would be an improvement. I don't know enough about the NET rankings and other factors. Bona went from 65 to 58 by beating VCU, and VCU is below St.Joe's (now 64), GMU (66), UMass (82), Duquesne (84), and Richmond (98). Bona ...

Re: Around the A10, 2023-2024

Interesting A10 opening night. 2 teams that struggled OOC won in upsets, with URI over St.Joe's and Fordham over GW. All 7 games were predicted to be close, and most were. UMass was an exception with by far the biggest margin of victory at 19. Fordham, Loyola, GMU, Dayton and Bona all won on the ro...

Fordham and GW are in a 3rd OT. Interesting start to the A10 season.
St Joes was the best bet for a second bid behind Dayton this year...so that's basically done.

Re: Conference Realignment

No. It was tongue in cheek. We haven't been able to slid into any conference for a decade, so there is a 0% chance. Well maybe we should start by sliding into the ACC DMs first. It's this type of attitude that we are so far behind and not even considered for the American over Charlotte. This is a r...

Re: Conference Realignment

Seems like UMass and uCON could slid right in. You really think UMass could slide in with McGuirk in the next 2 years. The ACC will still have the same number of teams as today. out 3 teams and in SMU and the 2 California teams. No. It was tongue in cheek. We haven't been able to slid into any conf...

Re: Around the A10, 2023-2024

The A10 now has 8 teams in the NET top 100: Dayton-30 St. Joes-51 Duquesne-69 Mason-73 Bonnie’s-75 UMass-89 Richmond-91 VCU-93 Plus 2 more teams just outside: Davidson-101 GW-108 Not bad. Dayton and St Joes (especially Dayton) would have legit at large potential with this, if they don't fall apart....

Didn't they upgrade it a decade before going FBS? Had we done that we would have had a much better stadium during the Don Brown years where we won a shit ton of games.

Re: Women's Hockey

Being in the HE, it is still baffling to me that we don't have a D1 Women's Hockey program. This is a no-brainer add. Completely agreed. Women's Hockey is a growing sport and we're in one of the areas where there's a lot of local talent. There's a reason the women's pro leagues (now 3 of them) have...

Re: Women's Hockey

Thanks for the info. I was unaware. I had a Bruins game on the radio while driving recently and a woman involved with the new Boston franchise was an intermission guest. I'm hoping for the best for it. Even though it sucks for a lot of the people involved with the old league, this one is being set ...

Re: Women's Hockey

I know there’s a women’s Hockey East that UMass should be in…. I also saw that women’s pro league is starting soon and Boston has a franchise. There were two pro women's hockey leagues, and one had a Boston based team for the whole time (Boston Pride - they were the best team in the league). The ot...

Re: Around the A10, 2023-2024

St. Joe's looks like the class of the A10. Watched them take a very good Kentucky team to OT, and now watching them smack Nova around in the 1st half. No idea how they lost to Texas A&M Commerce. Really no idea. They look like a top 25 squad. I'm not buying GMU, Loyola, or VCU. Not sure what's ...
