NET rating up to 30. 5 teams in the top 75. 7 in top 100. Need to win a little bit more over the next three weeks to make this a potential multi-bid league. People who said the Billikens couldn't get an at large must be feeling a bit foolish. A NET of 30 with a sub-300 schedule thus far and a loss. Probably room for 4-5 more losses.

Bonaventure with a huge jump in NET. Mason and Dayton fell a lot. Fordham dropped 20. Loyola leaps 13 spots. Baby steps. SLU up to 32. Let's wipe the floor with CMU by 30+

7-4 for the day. 8-3 would have been nice. Bonnies gonna be top 80 in NET when we wake up tomorrow.

Tough early start. Games so far L Dayton vs. UVA 73-86 L URi vs. PC: 71-90 W: Lasalle vs. Drexel W: Bonaventure AT 8-0 Buffalo. Buffalo at #107 NET. That's a Q2 win as of now. W. Duquesne vs. Stony Brook L: Fordham vs. Holy Cross. Fordham blows a 12 point lead against Holy Cross with 4 minutes left. Ghost of Bob Cousy and Tommy Heinsohn out there. Fordham fouls with :02 left. HC sinks both FTs. Man Fordham sucks. George Mason seems outmatched against V-Tech. Down 10 early 2nd. Loyola in a poodle fight with Princeton.

Amen. Dayton has a great schedule and can really help the A10 against #14 in NET and 23 in KenPom.

Belmont dropped from 37 to 68. Richmond rose from 126 to 77. Just keep winning, A10.

Again, nothing is inevitable.. Just win your non-conference games. People are way too doomsday and conspiracy about things. It's tilted for sure, but SLU, VCU, and Dayton can simply kick ass and leave the top 5 conferences wishing they'd scheduled more A-10 games.

The NET jump will be massive. Granted Belmont massively overrated in NET right now but that's a Q1 as long as Belmont stays top 70. As of today only SLU, URI, and Richmond have a Q1 victory.

Belmont #37 in NET.

But that's premised on those schools being better than the A10 schools. We have control over that part of it. We're not getting that home & home with Mizzou but if we simply kick ass on a regular basis then they'll have no choice.

Amen. Root like hell for the A10 in every OOC game. Lunardi is wrong. The Mountain West has essentially replaced the A10 as a 3-bid league. There's nothing metaphysical about the MWC being above the A10. The SEC used to be the dumpster fire of the "Power 6." Guess what, that's basically the ACC at this point.

This is the kind of paranoid thinking I wish were less prevalent. This is the A10, not the MVC. Just because a thing happened once, doesn't mean it's always going to happen. Nights like last night where the conference goes 6-1 including some decent wins, helps. SLU has got to win out in OOC, including against SF, and they need to blow out these crap teams by 30 or 40 to keep the NET in the 30s when conference play starts.

Some nice wins last night against some top 150 Ken Pom teams. Loyola got a W. Richmond has a chance to make a splash against 8-0 Belmont tonight. SLU jumps 10+ spots in NET ranking up to 35. Turns out beating an okay team by 20+ in their building means something. As I've said since August, path to an at-large bid is right there for SLU. A Richmond win tonight probably gets the conference its 9th team in the top 100 in the NET.

This game is absolutely massive. They've had three days to rinse an awful ending to Stanford game. Absolutely need to play with urgency and precision, especially in the first ten minutes. Win by 20, get your mojo back.

Initial rankings dropped today. 8 A-10 teams in the top 100. 3 in the top 50. Saturday night was tough for the conference but there's a clear path for this conference to have multiple bids. If SLU wins out in OOC, their NET will probably be around 30 when they play St. Joes to start A10 play. Playing in a league with some terrible teams poses risks, but lots of chances for some Q2 and even a couple of Q1 wins in conference. We control our own fate. We don't need to win the A-10 tourney to dance.
