A-10 Media Day today at Barclays Center in Brooklyn

A-10 preseason poll and preseason teams will be announced at 9:30 this morning.

Through twitter, both Jon Rothstein and Jeff Goodman are in attendance as I'm sure several dozen other media types are.

Prediction is SJU will be voted #1, for what it's worth.

Re: A-10 Media Day today at Barclays Center in Brooklyn

St. Joe's got 11 first place votes, Saint Louis got 10, VCU got 3, Temple, UMass, and Butler got 2 each. That's 6 different teams getting first-place votes. That says a lot!

Re: A-10 Media Day today at Barclays Center in Brooklyn

Interesting comments from some national media types:

Andy Katz:
Quote:
A bit surprised by A10 predicted order of finish: STJoe; SLU; VCU; Temple; UMass; Butler; LAS; Day; XU; Rich; SBU; CHA; GW; Ford; RI; Duq

Dana O'Neil:

A little surprised at the A10 picks. St. Joe's to win it. Hmm. Have VCU in my top 25.

Quote:
I like St. Joe's. Think definitely could be a tourney team. Just not sure Hawks are best in A10. Good to debate.

Jeff Borzello:

Interesting predicted order of finish in the A10. Think Butler is a little low, think VCU will win it, think it's going to be a helluva race

Rob Dauster:
Quote:
Gotta say, I think despite the lofty expectations (and where I ranked them) that VCU is still being underrated.

Nobody wins anything on paper and in October. You have to earn it.

Re: A-10 Media Day today at Barclays Center in Brooklyn

No doubt about that. In my opinion I thought Saint Louis was a shoo-in for #1 and that we could be anywhere from 2-4. 3 is just fine by me.

Wow, I'm really surprised by Saint Joseph's topping the A-10 preseason poll. Good team? Yes. NCAA team? Perhaps. League favorite? No.

My top six is probably 1. VCU, 2. SLU, 3. Temple 4. Butler 5. Saint Joseph's 6. UMass. All six of those are quality teams.

Re: A-10 Media Day today at Barclays Center in Brooklyn

I guess this schedule is as good as possible for Xavier. Tough games at home and some winnable road games.

Home: 2.3.4.5.7.8.13.14
Road 1.6.8.10.11.12.15.16


I'll take that.
