Loyola was picked #49 in Madness 144 Basketball preseason.
Picked to finish 1st in Conference and make the NCAA

Only 2 A10 teams ranked higher so Loyola would be 3rd in the A10 based on these rankings

Sounds like a good addition imho

Fatts turned back the clock to last year with that performance last night for Maryland 💀 In some of the “way too early” polls this spring and summer Maryland was being ranked in the Top 10. They will be out of the Top 25 now. Maryland didn’t look great in their 1st two games. Would be something if ...

Once Todd Bozeman had to walk Cox way over to the FT line by the URI Bench end of the court. Loved how Bozeman was holding Cox back. Then ...

This might derail the thread but it’s worth saying - but through three games was it literally that Cox sold his soul to let Fatts do whatever he wanted and that screwed everything up?

BAR,

It’s ok to say LaSalle and Fordham suck and should be gone from the A10. We all get it.

It’s kind of like mask wearing discussion in the Covid thread. Enough already.

I have a tough time with URI finishing in 10th place listening to complaining about the 12th, 13th and 14th place teams - of which we were 13th under Baron not too long ago.

Rant over.

Welcome Ramblers and Sister Jean!

Solid addition. Well done A10 Commissioner.

Ramster. I know you were touting George Mason as a sleeper and given grief from some posters about it, but you may be right. I know it is very early but coach English looks like he has them going in the right direction. They did lose almost all their scoring, but his new roster doesn't look bad and...
