Big Week for the A-10

[The_Mack_Pack]

This week a lot of the teams that us A-10 fans are hoping do well play some very good teams, lets hope the whole conference can pull out most of these games for victories. Here are some of the big games this week (11/15-11/22):

Temple: G-Town, Siena
Duquesne: Iowa
St. Bonaventure: St. Johns
St. Louis: Nebraska
Dayton: Georgia Tech
La Salle: South Carolina
St Joes: Boston College

This week will be a good indicator of how the A-10 will fair as far as conference RPI goes.

[X Factor]

Duquesne should beat Iowa. I watched a little bit of Iowa's game this evening. They stink. They lost AT HOME to UTSA, 62-50.

Yea I just saw that, Iowa is still a BCS team though so it wouldn't be a win you would just overlook.

If we (Charlotte) beat Elon tomorrow night in the NIT Season Tip-Off, we'll play the winner of Duke/Coastal Carolina Tuesday night.

Hopefully, you'll see us Tuesday night vs. Duke on ESPN at 6pm.

It is a big week. By my count we play 32 games thru next Sunday. A number of teams play in tourneys.

Temple @ GTown is at 4pm on ESPN. That would be a nice A10 doubleheader on Tuesday.

I like the preview for Clemson-Liberty starting at 10 AM tomorrow:

Classes Not Cancelled, But... (http://www.libertyflames.com/index.cfm?PID=20240)

"Students are reminded that classes are not cancelled, but those with classes at 9:15 a.m. and 10:50 a.m. will receive an excused absence for attending the entire game. Tickets for the excused absence will be handed to students as they enter the arena through the turnstiles. Each ticket will consist of rules on one side and a blank side used for validation after the game. Students are only allowed one ticket, which will be handed out until tipoff. At the end of the game, two stations will be set up at every door for the tickets to be validated as students leave the Vines Center. Validation will not begin until the game is final."

It's a pity they didn't have this kind of marathon when John Chaney was coaching Temple - they would have been perfect for the 6 AM tipoff. (with apologies to Monmouth and Saint Peter's College).

If this ever happened at Cintas, what would the rules for beer sales be for a morning tipoff?

I hope that as many A-10 teams as possible can pull of victories this week except UD...I really hope that they lose

They literally have not ONE other resume building game on their schedule except their 2 games with us if they lost to GT. I know this isn't news to anyone on this board but their schedule is just BAD

Congrats.

Richmond gets a dominating win against VMI tonight too.

[Snipe]

I love the A-10.

[D-West & PO-Z]

Richmond had 31 assists on 41 FGs. That is pretty impressive.

I love the A-10.

I hope you remember this statement come mid December and teams are falling at home to the likes of Coastal Carolina and High Point
