Week 4 is here, and we already have a pair of conference games in the books! La Salle also went on the road, and defeated Loyola Chicago to pick up their first A-10 win of the season. George Mason went on the road and thumped GW by 32 points, handing the Revs their worst A-10 loss since 2011. Additionally, Mason’s Kennedy Harris was named to the NCAA March Madness “Week 4 Starting Lineup,” alongside four Power 5 players, including Paige Bueckers.
Speaking of Power 5, Duquesne picked up a win on the road at Pitt, defeating the Panthers for the 2nd year in a row!
The win is the third of the year for the Atlantic 10 over the ACC, alongside George Mason’s win at Wake Forest and Saint Joseph’s win at Syracuse. And while Richmond was dealt their first loss of the season, a buzzer-beater at home to Georgetown, the Spiders still retain the top spot this week, while George Mason picks up one vote still as well.
