no way they win the league. everyone overrates them based on a lucky week in the a10 tournament.
I wouldnt say "no way."

I wouldnt say "no way." they'll be right there with xavier at the end.. a-10 should be one of the most intriguing conference races of the year
Both Temple and Dayton are

Both Temple and Dayton are way over rated. Temple has one of the toughest A10 schedules based on playing your Top3 contenders on the road. Temple got hot at the end last year but lightning isn't striking again. UD is gonna be lost without Roberts to bail them out of late shot clocks and clutch situations. CW is very good but he hasn't been the focus of defenses yet and Johnson lived off Roberts commanding double teams. They don't have a PG and seem to think their freshmen are going to shore up the outside shooting woes that are going to come this year. Mark my words: UD won't finish in the top 6 and Temple will be fighting for 4th or 5th.

If Temple, dayton, and xavier all stink.. whose your team? im guessing charlotte or umass?
Only Temple and X stink. UD

Only Temple and X stink. UD isn't gonna have any competition for at least 3 years. X can't recruit and Temple got lucky. Watch out for Chris Johnson this year. I hear he is tearing up the practices and everyone knows that always translate well to real games.

X dominates UD and to say that Temple and X stink show that you know absolutely NOTHING about college hoops or the A-10. Temple lost Mark Tyndale but should be better without him because they will gel better plus they are deeper than they have been for a decade.
Dayton is always competitive though.......at home that is.
if XU can't recruit and they

if XU can't recruit and they keep winning 25 games, what does that say about the rest of the league?
Ricky Harris shouldn't be on
Submitted by MIKE (not verified) on Thu, 2008-11-27 01:09.
Ricky Harris shouldn't be on the 1st Team. I would put the cat from Rhode Island, Jimmy Baron, in there before Harris.
I don't even know if Harris would be on my 2nd Team. I would prefer his teammate, Chris Lowe, before him.
Baron

baron & lowe were the last guys out, but if baron keeps shooting 55% from three like he's been doing, he'll be first team
OK sounds good to me.

OK sounds good to me. Especially, since it was a preview.
also, we and I (in emails)
Submitted by Shawn Siegel on Mon, 2008-12-08 18:23.
also, we and I (in emails) took a lot of flak for the harris over low choice, but so far harris is averaging 21 ppg while lowe is at 13 ppg with a brutal 5 assist to 6 turnover ratio and shooting 41% from the field..
