A-10
Should be an exciting conference, let's look at the noncon games and televised battles.
-Charlotte can be very good this year, and they play a lot of good teams. They play at Georgia Tech and host Wake Forest in November, and they host Davidson and Southern Illinois to begin December. The play at Hofstra and Tulsa the week after that, and they host Maryland (ESPNU) and play at Clemson. They should be competetive in conference play.
-Dayton has some tough games, and play at George Mason, Holy Cross, and Louisville (ESPN2), and they host Pitt to end December (ESPN2).
-Duquesne is on their way back up, and they'll host Pitt on ESPNU and will go to West Virginia on Full Court.
-Fordham is on the rise. They'll play at Syracuse, host Hofstra and Binghampton, and then go to Georgetown to close out the calendar year.
-No TV games for GW, but they have a tough slate out of conference. They'll host BU and play at UCLA in November. They host Auburn on 12/2, play at VaTech a week later, at Binghampton on the 13th, and at Alabama on the 29th.
-LaSalle will play some teams. They'll be at Bucknell, and then they'll play Clemson, Ole Miss, and DePaul in tourney play, at Villanova a week later on ESPNU, and at Florida State on 1/5.
-UMass will compete for the title and will be at Northern Iowa, Syracuse (ESPN Classic), will host Marist, and at BC (ESPNU). They'll host BU and Houston and play at Vandy.
-Rhode Island plays at USF, hosts UAB, and play at BC in November. In December, they host Providence, play at Syracuse (ESPN Full Court), and they host Hofstra.
-The Richmond Spiders could be a player as they could meet Memphis next week in tournament play. They take it easy in November, with a few minor tests with games at East Carolina, Rice, and Marist. But they have a tough December, where they play at home to USF, at VCU, and home against ODU. They finish off the noncon schedule with a home battle with VaTech.
-Saint Louis will be an improved bunch under head coach Rick Majerus. They'll take November trips to Pitt (Full Court), Missouri State, and Kent State, and have a tough December. They'll host Long Beach State, play at BC, host Sam Houston State, and Southern Illinois (ESPNU) before conference play.
-St Bonaventure is venturing on their road up, and will play at BU and host Binghampton right off the bat. They'll also take a trip to New Mexico in November. They'll host Albany in December, play at Binghampton, and then host Bucknell in January.
-Temple is looking to get their cred back up, and their noncon slate is easily toughest in the conference. They'll start with games at Tennessee (Full Court) and Providence (ESPNU), then games at Bowling Green and Akron before hosting Towson and Villanova (ESPNU). They'll play at Drexel (ESPNU), at Florida, and then they'll host Duke (ESPN) before conference play and Penn during.
-Xavier will argue that their noncon schedule is tougher. They play at Miami (OH), and Kent State in November, and then they'll host Creighton and crosstown rival Cincy (ESPN2) to begin December. Then they'll play at Arizona State, at home against Tennessee (ESPN) before they host Delaware State and Kansas State (ESPNU) to close out the year. They then host Virginia and play at Auburn (Full Court) before conference play.
