"Look, we beat a ranked team once we started being us again. Belief is a dangerous thing, with the coach they have, with the roster they have, they can make a story up there in Pittsburgh"

It's been 20 years since the 2006 Final Four run. Does Tony Skinn have another March run in him?

If he doesn’t he needs to find a new line of work.

Tony Skinn talks to the media before the 2026 A-10 conference tournament

More interviews with Riley Allenspach, Kory Mincy, and Jahari Long here:

Good interview. My favorite line: "Portal, NIL...I'm used to it."
Coaches today better be, or they will fail.
Glad Tony is all in on the new normal.

An NBA center scoring 83 points in a game is mind boggling.

Coaches couldn't adapt and put 2 guys on him or tell their guys to clog the paint. That's the one player who was hurting them all game lol

Kenpom has Mason as a 4 pt favorite.

Somewhat off-topic: I really like Dalen Cuff's coverage of the A10. Seems to have a very good sense of the teams and is on point in most of his analyses.
