Around the A-10 (2021-22)

[inthescoop]

^ But there were guys on this forum who just as late as a couple seasons back who thought the A10 should drop Fordham! Paybacks are a bitch!

There’s been a lot of things said here on this board that really makes you scratch your head.

ESPN has 2 players from the A10 in their 2023 mock draft, going in the 2nd round.

Jordan Hall, St. Joseph’s
Hyunjung Lee, Davidson

Just watched the Fordham-Davidson game and Fordham almost pulled off the upset. Some questionable calls at the end didn't help them.

GW beat URI 63-61. URI shot 2/19 from three and 15/31 from the line. You can't credit defense for poor free throw shooting. Can they possibly repeat this when we play them?

You mean GW?

A-10 teams expected to be below UMass all seem better than I thought so far. Fordham already with 2 A10 wins and very nearly beat Davidson today. GW already with 2 wins, besting GMU and then today's road win @ URI. St. Joe's already with 2 wins, having crushed Richmond by 27 in a road game. La Salle only 1 win (over St. Joe), but looked like they had URI beat before barely losing that one by 2. GMU lost to GW after their covid pause, making me think they weren't much until they beat Dayton today. Of course, just about no one expected UMass to beat SLU. Repeat that tomorrow and we'll have something.

Fan boards at SLU and URI are both crying for firing their coaches, although they're not nearly as overwhelming as the feeling here to fire McCall (with good reason).

No. We play URI again and we need them to shoot like that against us.

Sorry, just one of my stupid jokes.

He's better than anyone we'll be bringing in.

Watching Richmond and St Bona. Late Richmond is gonna win. But Schmidt was amazing last 2 min. Great coach. Calling tos right after a bona basket. Total chess game. Wish we had that game management

Both coaches played it smart at the end. When Richmond got up with ~1 minute left, Coach Mooney got his team to give fouls and drain the clock just right. I agree Schmidt was amazing, but Bona must be freaking out being the consensus pre-season #1, only to find themselves tied with GW for 7th place.

Current bracket projections show that Davidson is the only A10 date to the dance.
