I was not exactly sure where to put this so I made a new thread.

These are the Top 20 non power conference teams to watch.
5 teams from the A10

I tend to not like articles like this but this one I liked. I was surprised to see URI on this list. They are going to be much better but a top 20 non power conference team I don't know about that. I choose Dayton or Saint Joe's before them but people are hyped about hurley.

So do URI and UMass play a good out of conference schedule? If they could pick up a few quality wins it would help the A10 in general, and rather selfishly, La Salle.

Teams to watch in the A10 are VCU (conf. champs?), St. Louis, La Salle, UMASS and maybe Dayton. URI might be a little premature.

Exactly I think Dayton going to be good. Picked up good recruits they just need to learn how to play D.

Also I know URI playing Providence and Saint Mary's.
