I picked this off another site. I didn't take the time to verify it. Since the field expanded in 1985, the Atlantic 10 has been a one-bid conference four times in 34 seasons. The last two of those were the 2001-02 and 2004-05 seasons. Here are the rest of the numbers: Two bids (6 times) Three bids (16 times) Four bids (4 times) 5 bids (3 times) Six bids (once). Obviously, the league could have a down year, but, over the last 34 seasons the A10 has averaged 3 bids each year. rgbilliken likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll need a split of the big 6 non-conference games (@SH, @SIU, @Houston, @Pitt, Butler, and @FSU). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Seton Hall will be tough. Down a little from last year, but still tough. We also still haven't seen Butler, Florida State, or Houston. Butler should be coming up soon, FSU should be in the 15-20 range, and Houston should be around 40 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we CAN be the type of team that wins 5 of these, but simply from a "make the tourney" standpoint, I think 3 and 3 during this set and no trip-ups elsewhere in the non-conference should put us on track. Road games are difficult no matter what and we've essentially got 5 of them here. gobillsgo and slufanskip like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to make an assumption that this arbitrary rating is somewhat indicative of a NCAA NET, we have a shot at a Quadrant 1 win @ Seton Hall. With the A10 being trashed by the national media, we need to build up as many Quad 1 wins in OOC as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, kuddos to the folks that do scheduling. We've always had difficulties scheduling quality opponents. This year's schedule should leave no complaints in the selection committee's eyes.

We had some pretty good non-conference schedules under Romar and Soderberg, but it's been mostly weak since then. Majerus liked softer schedules for his transitional and younger teams, and wasn't around long enough to have an established veteran program with tougher schedules. We didn't end up with great schedules under Crews, either. But Ford seems to get what it takes for a non-power conference program these days. This is a really nice schedule.

slubillikens43 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 It will be interesting to see who will be on the schedule for next season since Seton Hall seems to be the only series continuing after this season. This season is the 2nd game of Oregon State, Houston, Butler, and SIU(could see this being extended). I am guessing the Florida State and Pitt games are a one-time thing too. This should've been in the Schedule thread but only brought it up because of the above posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forget, did Majerus start the series with Wichita St, or was that Crews? I feel like it was Majerus but I could be wrong. That would’ve been a nice one to keep going.

Four straight losses, unfortunately, but the first one was at least close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sell the rights to our production to Learfield Communications. They give the U x dollars for the rights. Learfield then goes out and sells the advertising ,pays the annoucers etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
