San Diego (private Catholic school) is in the WCC with Gonzaga and St. Mary's. Confusing matters further is that UC-San Diego is joining D-I next year. My post from the other thread: Full release: http://www.atlantic10.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=31600&ATCLID=211814499 SDSU at SLU on December 5th. SDSU is a good matchup. They're being picked to finish 2nd in the MWC this season and finished 4th last season. Looks like Fordham, UMass, GW, and La Salle are the odd teams out, with San Jose State as the only MWC team not playing. Weird that they didn't just make it an 11-team event to cover the whole MWC.

The purpose of these matchups is to give all the good programs a good non-conference game. San Jose State is worse than Fordham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slu let the dogs out? Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Would not have been upset at all if we started this challenge on the road @ SDSU. Hopefully we land UNLV or New Mexico (side trip to Santa Fe) in 2021. Although I'm guessing New Mexico won't get 2 home games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

courtside Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 San Diego St. has made the NCAA’s 7 of last 10 years. 1 winning season in 14 years prior to Steve Fisher. Then 14 of 18 under him and now continuing long time assistant Brian Dutcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know that. I am asking if UMass, Fordham, GW and LaSalle are out for both seasons. UMass in particular could be pretty decent by 2021-22. Will any of these four get a game in the second round.

I don't know the answer to that, but I suspect they'll be out for the two-year cycle; that's just the way it goes.

Perhaps it's the A10 telling these schools: figure it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 If the A10 picked its 10 entrants based on record, then La Salle would not have been one of them. They finished 8-10 and both Richmond and St. Joe's finished 6-12 (Fordham, GW, and UMass were the bottom three). If the A10 were picking the teams it expects to be the 10 best this season, then St. Joe's would not be included. Maybe they're projecting a year out, but even then, St. Joe's is basically starting over this season and is a few years out. UMass is possibly the most interesting team to watch this season. They basically reset the roster and coaching staff, which I've never seen done before by a head coach. The talent level has been upgraded but they're young and it remains to be seen how they'll play together. I'd probably include them over Fordham, St. Joe's, GW, and La Salle if I'm looking two years out, although GW and La Salle should both be better by then, too.
