The A-10 in Early Season Tournaments

Unread post by Obadiah »

Last season was a banner year for the A-10 when the conference was represented in many of the nation’s best early season tournaments. This season the representation is distinctly lower than last year when only Duquesne and Fordham did not play in any tournament. This year Fordham plays only a local rivalry special event and Davidson, Duquesne, and St. Bonaventure are not playing in tournaments at all. And Saint Louis plays in a new exempt tournament similar in format to the NIT Season Tip-off as does Richmond. In comparison, URI is clearly in one of the better tournaments versus most of its A-10 brethren.
