We now have 7 days on the books in the 2009 basketball season. Are you satisfied with how the A10 has performed? What do you think of the A10 schedules thus far? What do you think about the margins of victory or defeat?

The only one I would want to have back is Richmond at William & Mary.

That was a bad loss. The rest I can see. Wish I had that one back.

I want SLU to start some trouble.

70% win percentage would be great if it were the end result, but I voted not satisfied.

The Bonnies and Owls losing by 1 point each. Bummer.

La Salle got tromped pretty good in the 2nd half against South Carolina. They need to have short memorys and move on.

It's looking like UMass is going to lose a lot. I haven't seen them much, but when I have Gibbs hasn't stood out as being especially good.

How is beating Iowa a good win? They are really bad. How is losing to duke a bad loss?

It is a win against a power conference school. And Duquesne lost by 42. Losing to Duke isn't the problem, the margin is.

We lost by 19 to them and we played flat out horrible. I can't imagine what 42 would be like.

Then why isn't SLU's win against Nebraska a good win?

I think it is.

It isn't highlighted. Just for the record I don't think either are good wins. Regardless of their big 6 affiliation both of those teams are really bad. They won be looked at as good wins come march and their rpi's willnot be good either.

Charlotte losing at Duke was no suprise. The margin of victory was a surprise, but as we know all too well, if things get going the wrong direction against someone like Duke, they can really steamroll into a mess.

UMass lost to Central Florida and Cornell by a combined 30 points.

UHG!

I voted not satisfied mainly because of the Temple game against Georgetown. If you would had said to me before the game Temple is going to lose I would have been fine with it but the way they blew it at the end was awful. They had the game and the couldnt make a free throw to save their lives which left me unsatisfied.

Overall I'm satisfied, but I'm not jumping for joy. Richmond's loss at Bill and Mary was a tough pill to swallow, because they're going to be a top 5 team in the league. The margin for error of them helping the league is now pretty slim. We need them to win a lot of games OOC.

LaSalle friggin blows. All this big talk from them and their two fans and they can't handle a mid-level SEC team on a neutral floor with 2,000 people in attendance.

Loved SJU taking out BC. The demise of the Hawk has been greatly exaggerated.

I voted not satisfied.

South Carolina is a good team, especially Downey. But they had the lead and should have been able to hold it.

Duke was really the only loss I find acceptable. But hey, it's division one and these guys can all play.

Yeah thats a good win. They would be looking really good with that Georgetown win too though.

Temple still plays VA Tech, St. Johns, Villanova, Kansas, and Penn St. all at home so they have a ton of games left to gain some good rep. Overall I'm kinda 50-50 on the A-10 right now. I think they just need a one big day where a couple of teams knock of ranked teams along with no bad losses that day.
