The first full week of conference in the books and we have quite a few shake ups! Richmond surges to the #1 spot this week, behind a pair of wins over VCU and Saint Joseph’s, while the Rams themselves move up after handing Davidson just their second loss of the season. Davidson slides down to #3, but still retains a first place vote, and George Mason rounds out the top-four after a narrow 2-point loss to URI at the Ryan Center followed by a dominant 101-75 win at Duquesne. A couple of big games coming up this week, as Mason is set to host Davidson on Wednesday at EagleBank Arena, and Loyola Chicago may have Rhode Island on upset alert when the Rams face the Ramblers in Gentile Arena. The game of the week however is unquestionably Richmond vs Rhode Island on Sunday in a battle of the final two unbeaten teams in A-10 play!
