599, good thread to open, think we are all excited for the move next year.
Was able to find that yes the next two A10 tournaments will be at Barclays Center, would like to get out there at some point for the tournament and enjoy NYC.
https://www.foxsports.com/stories/colle ... in-2023-24Haven’t heard about the 20 game schedule but it makes sense, it’s the way college ball is going so lots of opportunities for hopefully strong games. The A10 usually has multiple bids, so chances will be there for us.
Dayton is very young and likely will be the favorite, think Davidson is bringing back almost their whole team and should be very good, those will be the front runners. VCU is always a tough out as well and someone to keep an eye on.
As far as being in the top half, that’s something that is so unknown at this point. We are still working on trying to get Klintman, we don’t know Knight and R. Schweiger’s eligibility or what transfers we will get. If looking at our roster right now with the seniors and Ivies graduating, think we will struggle with what is coming back, especially in the front court without major improvements from Jacob and Tom. We are losing a ton of depth, almost all of our deep shooting outside of Braden, and likely relying on Anderson and Ben Schwieger to step up into starting roles (again, just the roster now). That’s a lot to ask, I think if we go .500 next year in conference, that is a very successful inaugural season in the A10 for us. Collectively as a fanbase we are going to have seriously temper expectations for the next few years, we are stepping up a weight class with our big guns moving on, it’s going to take a few years to recruit and develop guys that will be ready to compete in the A10, interesting times ahead for the ramblers. Curious how Coach V will recruit and who ends us in Rogers Park.
