A-10’s early success not going unnoticed
The Atlantic 10 is the fifth-ranked conference in the nation, according to the RPI computer ratings, and is racking up quality wins.
The play of the league hasn’t gone unnoticed by Dick Vitale, who gave the A-10 some recognition in a column at ESPN.com.
UD coach Brian Gregory said today: “We’re a three- or four-bid league (in the NCAA tournament). You look at other conferences, maybe some of the BCS conferences being down a little bit, and there’s no question that we are. We just have to finish the next month out strong — and then start beating the crap out of each other (in league play).
“Our constituency, our fans, are starting to understand the kind of quality teams we have — not just Temple and Xavier, but Rhode Island and St. Joe’s and Richmond and Duquesne and Charlotte and Saint Louis. It’s a monster.”
