2022-2023 Conference Schedule

[PDGL Hoops]

vcu is dropping ODU from its schedule. Says it hurts them to play a Sun Belt team. Stay classy vcu. What a loss for the fans of both schools.

A loss sure but they are also in the discussion for an at-large almost every year. Smart scheduling helps keep you there. I would expect us to do the same.

This is spot on. If winning games is factor 1 for getting a bid, smart scheduling is 1A. We need to be positioning ourselves for a minimum top 100 NET score each year, including scheduling tough road games that we’ll probably lose (Kansas last year almost single handedly kept our NET respectable)

I dont know this as a fact
just repeating what i was told

vcu used to play GWU home and away
as the GWU program went downhill, vcu asked the A-10 conference to only play 1 game per season vs GWU
why? becaause their poor record was hurting their SOS and hurting their chances for post season play

They are Top 50 in Div 1 win % since like 2015 or something....along with Dayton, St.B and Loyola Chicago.

Have to protect your program lol....

RIP to the annual McDonald's Fry Off.

I haven't had lunch today and man that makes me hungry.

I’m an old fart and still want to see Mason play JMU and ODU.

Come to think of it, the old CAA was pretty awesome haha.

I miss the cozy regionalism of the old Virginia focused CAA.

I liked this, but I'm still glad to be in the A-10. I mean, have you seen the CAA lately?

CAA is on a down swing I don’t think they can pull out of. Falling dangerously close towards that low major line.

The A10 has a similar footprint anyway:

Northeastern —> UMass, URI
Hofstra —> Fordham
Drexel, Delaware —> La Salle, St. Joes
GMU, JMU, vcu, ODU —> GMU, GW, vcu, Richmond
UNCW —> Davidson

That’s 10 of 12 teams all in the relatively similar media footprints.

Conference pairings being announced Monday. Starting to become notable that it’s been absolute crickets on non-con scheduling as we go into July. Other schools are either complete or very close to completing.

Kim said last week we have a game against a future Big XII opponent. That’s gotta be UCF, BYU, Cincinnati, or Houston.

Yeah I heard that in the pod as well, thought it was a little unclear if he was talking about this season or next though.

He also said it's a current AAC team, so that eliminates BYU.

As far as I know, it's a game for this season. But these things are very fluid until the ink dries on the contracts.

definitly not regionally based

That sucks. I want to play GW, UR, vcu and Davidson twice every year.

 

[tblack33]

We got a bit shafted on this. Conference doing the right thing setting up it’s perceived top 3 though.

 

[MasonFanatic]

Making us play vcu, Dayton, SLU, and Bona all on the road only is ridiculous.
