Conference Champion – Dayton
Once again Dayton looks to be the cream of the crop in the
A-10. They will have to overcome the untimely death of returning center,
Steve McElvene, but the cupboard is not bare. Scoochie Smith and Charles
Cooke return as potential First team A-10 players and Kendall Pollard is no
slouch. A nice recruiting class including Kostas Antetokounmpo rounds out
a solid team. Rhode Island looks to rebound after losing star EC Matthews
to a torn ACL in the first game last year and should be able to secure an
at-large bid with their talent. VCU once again has enough talent to also
vie for a bid although it won’t be as easy as previous years. This looks
like a 3 bid league to me. George Washington lost too much and had to
fire Mike Lonergan this summer because he was mean. If anybody comes from
nowhere to snag a surprise bid it will be Davidson and star Jack Gibbs.
Depth (and defense) was a problem last year but Bob McKillop should have more
firepower this year.
