Re: Busting Brackets A10 Preview

Hey John,
There is mention in the article of the "Wednesday night pillow fight" and a double bye. Can you explain the A10 tournament format?

Haha. That's great.

The Wednesday Night Pillow Fight is nothing you should worry about for a few years!

That's where Fordham, LaSalle and Duquense try ...

Re: Atlantic 10 Conference Thread



The social media guy from the Los Angeles Kings had a funny moment, when he abbreviated Columbus "COL" and the Kings fans replied that "COL is Colorado" and he began calling the Blue Jackets 'Lumbus... I'm calling you 'Yola"

So close! You could have just as easily picked " 'Blers"

Oh no, we ...

Re: Loyola Joins the Atlantic 10 Conference July 1

We're staying at 18. 20 is stupid. It's math for the SOS/NET and getting max bids. The more conference games you play, the more you're guaranteed to go .500 as a conference. More OOC, the more we can win, and that helps the league. The math and brains say going to 14 conference games is best for the ...

Re: Atlantic 10 Conference Thread

Hey guys,

I'm a Bona fan and A-10 loyalist and we are SO GLAD you're joining us, because we know you're "one of us."

OF COURSE once your media guys put out the "what we want to be called" post, the A-10 fans are going to call you everything they listed as wrong and others not listed. That's how we ...

Re: 2023 Schedule

Sorry for not replying to individual posters directly, but I'm catching up after not visiting for a month.

The A-10 isn't making a conference schedule based on geography, so not getting Dayton/SLU twice every year JUST because "they're the closest."

EVERYTHING this conference does is based on "how ...

LOL.... Oklahoma's first round NIT game is against..... Missouri State.

No offense to Missouri State, but I want my Bonnies to beat Colorado, go to Oklahoma and kick their faces in by 40 and have more Bonnies ...

Re: Atlantic 10 Conference Thread


Bona brought a ton of students, which was cool. Doubt we'll be able to do that unfortunately

I'm a Bonnie. Our fan base has been described as "a cult, but in a good way." We had a lack-luster showing in the A-10 tourney crowd because the expectations for this season were so high and the mid-Dec ...

Re: Atlantic 10 Conference Thread


I am curious to see how being in the A-10 is going to change our recruiting....I would love to see us take 5 Chicago kids and dominate!

I think the biggest mistake a school can make is change recruiting approaches when switching conferences. The way you recruit has gotten you 3 NCAA bids and 6 ...
