Bit of a bounce-back for the A-10 in going 5–2 on the night, although no real surprises in the straight-up W/L results. Would have liked to have seen a bit bigger margins for Bona and Davidson though, and Dayton only kept Bethune-Cookman at arm's length most of the way rather than really putting them away. GW continuing to put up big scoring numbers.
On the non-conference side, W&M hung with St John's for a half before getting blown out as mentioned. Otherwise things went about as expected. We did have two OOC opponents facing each other with Elon and Gardner-Webb, while ODU was taken down by GW.

As noted, Loyola is seeing the downside of scheduling tough mid-majors when the big boys won't play you, but I still think these are the games you need to try to get. Just need to be better on the court.

I agree with you sentament, but would add you have to schedule as tough as you think you can win.
Early schedule results suggest that UR may be able to beat Furman and then I think the Spiders will play Charlotte. Watched the 49ers game today vs VT and they look like a formidable opponent. Will be interesting to see how the “chocolate tournament” turns out.
Sheesh, even our mediocre mid-major schedule is falling apart in front of our eyes.
Creme de la creme
5. Belmont (steady)
2nd Tier
None
Next Crop
31. Southern Illinois (down from 26 last week and up from 32 preseason)
34. Illinois State (down from 17 last week and 7 preseason)
Dropped Out
W&M, JMU, Furman, Elon
Radford also dropped out, but Iona moved up 30 spots to #23 and Columbia moved up 11 spots to #48.
Amusing to see UMass included in this thanks to A-10 departure.
Quiet night for our opponents, but not a good one as they went 0–3. VCU put up a good fight at NC State but didn't get the job done.

watched most CofC games last year - Lazar has improved but isn't going to be a superstar in A10 imo
He looked good last night. Tracey and Evans looked strong as well. The Rams may have taken it to OT, but sort of fell in love with the 3 and weren’t making them at end of game.
It was a nip and tuck, fast paced game.
Not going to be any sort of let down from Broad St as usual regardless of coaching change.
2–0 day for the A-10 with URI getting a nice win over Yale. OOC was a different story with ECU, Gardner-Webb, and ODU all getting blown out. Southern Virginia did pick up their first win of the season though!

If he could play 40 minutes a game VCU would be legit. No other 5's on the roster worth more than 3 minutes a game.

Have to chuckle a bit that best A10 win is over an Ivy League team

Mormons over Mennonites?
I hope you're right. it was just one game but he looked like an ACC big man playing in the A10. he's athletic.
