They were just in this a few years ago right?  I imagine they get these opportunities because of how well the sweater-vests travel??

NEWS: Florida Atlantic will face St. Bonaventure on December 16th as part of a doubleheader at the MassMutual Center in Springfield, according to multiple sources. UMass-West Virginia is the other game of the doubleheader.

Potential twofer preview game tonight with College of Charleston taking on Duquesne at the Veterans Classic in Annapolis on CBSSN.

Tear up your A10 preseason rankings. Davidson upsets Big 10 power Maryland. Yes, you could confuse Davidson  for the Hickory Huskers, but they get the W. They have a nice F in Durkin. This could be the marque league win for the year. Maryland has been picked as high as 4th in the Big 10.

Dayton loses to Northwestern in Chicago.  

Over on A10 Talk, they have an article that lists the Top 50 games in the A10 this year:

Top 50 Most Important A10 MBB Non-Conference Games 2023 | A10 Talk

Davidson against Maryland was #3 on that list; Dayton at Northwestern was #9.  Duquesne vs. Charleston was #31.  Our games include Drake (#22); NC State (#27) and Utah State (#44).  #1 game is Mason at Tennessee followed by La Salle at Duke.

Couple positive notes. A10 has won or pushed 9 of last 10 against the spread(Loyola/Fau exception) Monmouth upset West Virginia making Masons win a bit better.  

[Old guy]

Let's hope we remain aggressive throughout the whole game this time, and not pull the same strategy of going unaggressive in the last few minutes of the game (the Ford playing pattern). Let's go up and continue going up for the whole game and beat the spread, this time. Go Bills

Tough one for board darling Mark Schmidt

Watching Davidson tear Clemson a new one. Typical Davidson team. Well coached. I guess Dad is at practice a lot. FT forward Durkin looks very good. Davidson players don’t stand around they move around a lot and make good passes. Up 25-5.

Clemson comes back to knock off the Cats, 68-65.

Good. Let it all burn.

Davidson already knocked off Maryland. I was wondering where their program was headed after last year's .500 season. Their defense has definitely improved.

[billikenbill]

Loy-Chi falls at home to Illinois-Chicago, 72-67, 

GW gets a home win over Hofstra, 71-60,

and don’t sleep on the Iron Five of LaSalle as they move to 3-0 with a 69-57 take down of Bucknell at the Gola.

We should know a lot more about these 4 A10 teams after some solid matchups tonight:

Richmond at Boston College (Richmond has scored 90+ in both wins so far)
Duquesne vs. Princeton (Duquesne won decisively over Charleston and Stony Brook after squeaking by Cleveland State)
VCU vs. Radford (VCU lost to McNeese at home and struggled vs. Samford)
George Mason vs. Cornell (GMU has allowed 53 PPG in two wins)

George Mason vs. Cornell (GMU has allowed 53 PPG in two wins)

Cornell is coming off a road win over Fordham (in which Cornell led for the final 33 minutes). That will help give some sense of where GMU is in the pecking order.

BC takes down the Spiders, 68-61

Mason beats Cornell, 90-83

Duq. goes down to Princeton, 70-67

and VCU punks Radford, 73-50.

Gmu should be solid but I really think Fordham is bad

Richmond's scoring outburst in the first two games might not be sustainable against better opponents.

Mason's defense wasn't nearly as good against a disciplined Ivy League team but they still pulled out the win and don't appear to be any worse than they were under English.

Duquesne may have been a little overhyped.

VCU might be settling down after a shaky start.

That's my best crack at it, anyway.

Princeton is not a bad team.  They beat Rutgers on the Scarlet Knights floor and now Duquesne at Pittsburgh.
