I'm honestly a bit surprised. Heard all offseason that Richmond and SLU were top 2 teams in A-10. We lose one of our key cogs in Sherod and yet we are the run away preseason #1 team.

Not complaining, just kind of surprised that it wasn't closer than that and was suspecting SLU to be number 1 and us 2.

Anyone wanna bet me that UR doesn’t finish in the top 5? I say SLU wins, Dayton second, Saint Bonaventure finishes in the top 5 and so does vcu with a big bounce back season. Also wouldn’t be surprised to see Davidson get up there too.

I'll take your bet. Winner chooses the loser's avatar for 1 year.

While I do think if you look at raw talent, I think you could make a case that any of the other top 7 teams could beat us on a given night.

However Mr. VT, I will accept your bet. I am willing to bet you $150.00 straight up. Venmo or paypal accepted.
