Now that I've had more time to think about the offseason, I needed to come back to this post. Grant, I'm actually a lot more optimistic about Davidson than I was a few weeks ago. I like your point about Grady possibly being freed offensively, and I feel like this could be his best season now...

The reason Jordy didn't play that much is because our lineup was way better with Obi at the 5, and there's no way Jordy could have played any other spot. You're right about who will score, but pretty much any team in the A10 will be in huge trouble if one of their two best players gets injured...

I think Jordy is going to be better than people are giving him credit for. He didn't play much last year but UD had the Wooden Award winner at his position so there just wasn't an opportunity. I think the last spot in the starting lineup will have to be a freshman, probably Nwokeji or Blakney if...

Richmond should be better, I don't think the starters will improve that much but Tyler Burton is going to be a star and having a good 6th man will help them out a lot. I'm actually really down on Saint Louis compared to everyone else. They definitely could improve, but I'm not sure how much to...

Dayton's front court situation is really uncertain heading into next year. I think Jordy Tshimanga has the chance to be a solid player in the conference, but based on watching him foul seemingly constantly, I don't see him playing more than 20 minutes per game. Moulaye Sissoko redshirted this...

Haven't spent much time thinking about next season yet, but a couple quick thoughts: - I don't understand why Davidson is projected 55th in the T-Rank. Personally, I have very little optimism for them next season. Will they actually be better without Jon Axel? - Fordham will still be the worst...

Was supposed to get on a flight tonight, but we ended up cancelling everything

I've seen a lot of schools cancel pregame events, and some aren't sending bands or cheerleaders. But it looks like the tournament will go on for now with fans in the stands.

I had Jon Axel on my second team, and Grady on the third. At least in conference play, I thought JAG was clearly Davidson's best player this year. Goodwin was my first guy off the first team, I wanted to include him but in the end Tre Mitchell took that last spot with a few huge games down the...

Hey everyone, we tweeted this out earlier tonight, but Tyler and I created a media poll comprised of 21 writers, podcasters, and broadcasters from around the league. The actual A10 awards and All-Conference teams are coming out on Tuesday, but we were curious to see if awards voted on by the...

It's not unlikely that we see Rhode Island and Richmond play in the A10 semifinals. I have a feeling that could almost be like a play-in game to the big dance at this point.

I'm really excited to see what UMass can do next year. They might still be another year away, but Tre Mitchell is a stud and overall UMass might have the best young talent in the conference

I don't understand how NC State is in the discussion. They're 8-9 in a BAD ACC, 57th in the NET, and have 3 bad losses. Their non-conference was pretty good, but even then, Wisconsin and UNC Greensboro are just borderline Q1 wins.

I think SLU is done unfortunately. If they win out, they would be 12-6 in conference. The only 12-6 team in the 18-game schedule era to get an at large was 2014-15 VCU, who went 10-3 against the 12th best non-conference schedule in the country. SLU's best win out of conference was Kansas State...

Yep, look at Final 4 teams and champions in the Kenpom era. A pretty big majority were great on offense and defense. Right now Dayton is just very good on that end, but there's room for improvement.

I agree that Dayton passed up too many shots at times. I loved the ball movement on those possessions, but occasionally they looked reluctant and nobody wanted to put up the shot. Where was Dwayne Cohill at the end of the game? I thought he really played well in the second half, so I was...

Something I've been thinking about - VCU is quietly killing Rhode Island's resume. @ VCU is Rhody's only Q1 win, and that doesn't look nearly as good as it did at the time. Still think Rhode Island is in pretty good shape, but their margin for error might not be as big as we think.

La Salle +11: Explorers are on a 2-game winning streak and they defend the three point line very well, which is where Davidson does most of its damage. George Mason +12: Might just be me being cautious as a Dayton fan, but that's a lot of points to cover on the road and I'm worried about...

So what do we think about Richmond now? If the Spiders win out I think they should be pretty safe, but a loss could really hurt. If I had to guess: Finish 4-0 - In no matter what Loss to GW or UMass - Need trip to A10 finals and maybe some help Loss to Davidson or Duquesne - Need at least 1 win...

So much for Duquesne and Saint Louis having any shot lol. With them and VCU all losing this week we're down to three teams with a chance of an at large. I think Richmond will be in decent shape if they finish 4-1 though, and Rhody should be fine as long as they don't take a bad loss.
