Some organization is putting on 24 hours of opening day basketball. Small group with little money so no big name teams are involved.

Last game start time is 11 pm

Bonnie was up like 15.... now Bradley up 53-49 in 2nd half. Attendance is awful in that small gym.... can hear everything... including some Bonnie's players dad yelling at him every other play. Poor kid

The Bonnies game was being played at Rock Hill, SC as part of the Field of 68 Opening Day Marathon. The youtube stream crashed before half time and never came back. It came down to the last couple possessions, would have been nice to watch. Ah well, almost time to head out to the Patriot Center.

My mistake...didn't read the fine print. I did get the score right though!

Gonna need more nights like that for multi-bids!

The A-10 went a perfect 10-for-10 on opening night, starting the season with a clean sweep. Don’t mess it up, Fordham….

Some strong wins by the projected top half of the conference too:

Mason by 24
Dayton by 40
vcu by 29
GW by 20
SLU by 25

URI also won by 31

These are the kinds of margins you want to see to move the NET needle in the right direction.

Only outlier is Loyola winning a squeaker against Cleveland St.

Njit beats Fordham. Maybe we should extend an opening to Saint Mary’s and kick Fordham out of the league. And before you laugh? Stanford is in the ACC.

A10 talk thumbnail sketch on each team. Apparently, the writers covering Mason's program didn't get the memo that they were supposed to predict the outcomes for each of their non-conference games, as all of the other teams included that feature:

I found this funny even though the RPI is dead: we are 73 (number will move once more games) in the NET and # 1 in RPI.
