So VCU swapped Davidson for Fordham. I enjoyed the "southern" tier pairings. All in all I cannot complain about the home and home series and home vs away single games. At this point it looks OK. Going to Gola, Hagan and Chaifetz once is tough. I do plan to visit Hagan Arena for the first time and I will go back to Gola. I like the Philly games because it is not a tough drive.

I like the pairings for the Bonnies. I think the league did us a favor putting URI into the mix. I would have liked to see Dayton stay in though. if SLU and SJU are improved/healthy, this will really help Bonnies resume and numbers.

I'm guessing St Bona's & rhody will be the preseason favorites, so having them play twice is nice. It wouldn't surprise me to see Saint Joe's finish out in the top 4, so that is good as well, but having to travel to both UD and VCU plus getting St Louis (though assuredly improved), Duquesne and Davidson (minus Gibbs) seems like they won't get many chances for resume building wins at home.

As far as Dayton, with so many key figures changing out this offseason, I think this is about as good an A10 schedule as they could get. Good home & homes, chances for both confidence building wins and resume building wins at home if they can put everything together under CAG.

The pairings will never be perfect for everyone. I think SJU's is fine, and as tough as it is in the other years, having VCU and Dayton at home in the same season is fine with me. It also looks like we will only have one game against URI this year, which saddens me. I liked the games against the northernmost Rams. They were hard fought and huge bitchfests on the part of the Rams fans.

Without Fordham and St. Joe's on the Away schedule this year, short of swapping UMass for Richmond this is probably the most mileage URI could travel. I welcome it though, to be the best you have to beat the best.

Of course maybe this is a reverse curse and now that URI and Fordham aren't matched up for the first time in forever, Fordham will go and win the conference...
