Mid Majors Preview Part 4 - Atlantic 10

Atlantic 10
Projected Champion: Rhode Island
Possible Contenders: St. Louis
At-Large Bids: None


Another Conference being bitten by the Power confernces, this has always been the source of at least two bids lately.  This year, I’m not so sure.  Rhode Island is again the bid dog here with EC Matthews poised to be the conference player of the year.  Outside of Matthew the Rams return about 75% of their minutes and production from last year.  Their biggest challenge is probably going to come from resurgent St. Louis.  Travis Ford has used transfers to quickly rebuild this program.  How quickly they mesh will determine if this team is at-large worthy or not. VCU and St. Joseph’s appear to be in the good but not great category

Not to be that guy because I really enjoy reading this blog but... not love for the Bonnies? They have the A-10 preseason POY and were picked 2nd in the league preseason yet you have the unknown of St. Louis as the only possible contender to URI? WTF!

But for real keep up the good work.
