Hampton is an up and coming team in the CAA.

I would love for us to beat W&M. All Spiders should relish the chance to ruin their season.

"Richmond stinks in the non-con and figures it out"???

have they seen our non-con?

Massey composite has us at 7th. That is the average of 18 ranking systems.

We need to worry first about Campbell!!! Take one game at a time and let the other
teams decide their own future.

Back on the Left Coast after a great homecoming. Tremendous weather, catching up with fraternity brothers I first met 50 years ago, and a super day for a game and a big win. Campus is so beautiful in the fall, hit a few of the old stomping grounds, and thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Win out and could be looking at earning a top 8 seed, which is IMO the only path to a legit chance at making a playoff run.

Did anyone know this was a college before they appeared on our schedule?

Yes use to be Mt Olive College till they started Masters programs. Faison, NC beside it,
is the pickle capital.

I’m setting this line at 33.5. We should have this wrapped up with 10 minutes left so that we can empty the bench to get some minutes for everybody. Even if we have a clunker we should still win this easily.

Temple went 20-12 last season. Should be a close one, hopefully we come out ready and take it to them early.

oh, i'm on that one!

In addition to taking care of our own business, we are rooting pretty hard for the Bleu Hens to beat Rhody on Saturday, aren't we?

URI @ UD 11/9

UD @ Nova 11/23

Both could be BIG for us.Go Hens.

UR at #9 in Coaches Poll

Santa Clara should be decent this year. I assume some uncertainty with the transition at SLU probably weighing into first-game thinking.

IMO yes and then they need to beat Nova the last week of season.

It makes Spiders auto bid and makes win over Hens look even better in committee's view I would hope.

Rocco picks the Spiders as his A-10 dark horse and categorizes us as an at-large contender in his preview of potential multi-bid leagues.

is Santa Clara good? Considering the upper tier A10 predictions for SLU, I'm a bit surprised by that line.

Spiders move up three spots to #13 in STATS. In addition to Central Arkansas and North Dakota, we also slipped past Tarleton, who fell all the way from #7 to #14 after losing to EKU.

Know couple month old speculating thread, but surprised not more Mooney loyalty lineups than just this one. Of course not entirely five players like above, but more lineups than with 2/3 players from last season.

Discussion for years of Mooney taking to long to effectively get his system across to of a new set of players. Appears every coach is on equal footing these days in regards to lots of new faces. So that said not being the most pro-Mooney fan, I will give him much praise if he team finishes say 5,6 in conference.

Torvik has 12th, kenpom 11th probably a few under 10th? No Quinn but think Mooney this season has more size, call it PF if you like at his disposal. Also no King but enough three guard rotations that can hopefully shoot the 3. Maybe off base with these two thoughts.

Haven't heard anything about practices but intrigued about what Mooney can/will do having a big size lineup available other than say two less mobile 5s that Quinn and Walz were last year.
