State of the A-10
IF you examine the bracketology projections released by ESPN, you will see the auto bid by the A-10 sinking fast. The #15 seed by the A-10 is now shared with other #15's in the Big West, Big South and Atlantic Sun. In fact, Northeastern 10-1 from the CAA (who beat Dayton, Fordham and UMass) is a #11 seed. So winning the A-10 would be nice but NCAA hopes will hinge on the tourney in Duquesne in March.

Seems that both men's and women's BB programs within the A10 is going through a very bad period of mediocrity compared to some of its' past years.
As a whole the A10 ranking among the other conferences has fallen off. It makes it hard for some of the better teams to get respect.

And if anyone is expecting a "competitive" game against La Salle, here are some of the spreads of their losses this year: Howard 45, Oregon St. 54, Penn 31, Robert Morris 28, Towson 24, Providence 30 ok enough already.

I am expecting to see a Dayton team play Dayton basketball for 40 minutes. Not 20. Not 39. 40!

Thing is once this is a blow out and the freshmen get a chance it could get sloppy so please allow for that. Need to sacrifice margin of victory for game experience in a case like this.
