Around the A-10: 2024–25 Edition

[SFspidur]

UMass beats Fordham, 120–118 in triple OT.

And powerful Dayton now sits at 1–3 in the A-10 after falling at home to Mason. Third straight loss for the Flyers.

Crazy league.

Setting up nicely for the Broad St Boys. They seem like the only true “top” team.

LaSalle and Duquesne also victorious over Davidson and GW.

Glad that GW, UMass and GMU are better than UConn, Marquette, and Northwestern.

See the A10 is a tough league…😜

As if it couldn't get worse for Fordham, they just suspended Urgo for 4 games for "recruiting violations."

Uhhhhh, what? How do you commit recruiting violations in the NIL era?

They probably gave some kids family a free meal or something like that.

I made my original comment in jest but literally not too far off.

feels like something you'd do if looking for 'For Cause' groundwork. But idk why. he was loved year 1 and it's Fordham.

lol to the Neubauer reference in the twitter comments.

I always liked Neubauer tho. I once ran into him in the poker room at Caeser's in Vegas. Respect. Pre Fordham when he was coach at EKU.

Not an Urgo fan - Was annoying imo during their single good year ...

The entertainment probably was doing lines of coke off strippers, hence the suspension lol.

A10 is essentially killing itself, especially Dayton. Needed them and likely VCU to rise to the top to get more than 1 bid, but right now leaning more on Mason at this point. Still a lot of games left, and if Dayton can put together a nice 5-6 game win streak here - they might play themselves back to bubble and bid status.

In other news - how about W&M? They are 5-1 and tied for top of CAA, and are 7-0 at home. They have 3 very winnable games in Hampton, Campbell, and Monmouth coming up - before playing Charleston - one of teams tied for 1st as well. I expected a turnaround in Williamsburg, but not this fast. Not saying our loss to them is any good - we should always beat W&M, but interesting to see the success they are having year 1 down there.

Coaching change breathes life into program stuck in neutral. Hmmm, never would have expected that.
