The Season kicks off tonight.

The A10 has at least 3 teams that look really good this year, headlined by #24 ranked Dayton who play tonight.

Gonzaga #2, Houston #3 Kentucky #4 all in action, as well as the post Coach K Duke era. With 2 of the 3 top teams in the nation non Power 5, college basketball shows again what a departure it is from football where the same exact 5 teams in the top 5 every year.

Almost every A10 team plays today, including league newcomer Loyola-Chicago in what figures to be a very strong A10 conference this season. Saint Louis also looks to be an excellent team this year.

I'm having trouble finding tonight's men's game on ESPN+. Has anyone found it?

**Posted by moneybox** 11/07/2022 5:22 pm

I found it going through the GW athletics site.

I didn't realize that the season starts tonight! Howard is about to tip off against Kentucky on the SEC Network. Kentucky will be missing their stud big man Oscar Tshieibwe, so Howard could be somewhat competitive in this one

And did Joe Bam expect to not be a starter at Oklahoma?

**Posted by GW73** 11/07/2022 9:56 pm

Oklahoma (20 turnovers) struggling to put away San Houston with 3 minutes left in game. Not much playing time for Joe Bam.

And Sam Houston State beats Oklahoma.

Ooops. You are right (although technically FGCU beat U$C). I thought that was a score that might have garnered more attention, and now I know why it didn´t.

3 games stand out (IMO) tonight

Providence and Purdue, both really good last year, neither ranked to start the year. Purdue lost a lot of guys I assume including Ivey to the lottery?

Providence was oustanding including a Sweet 16 run before losing to #1 Kansas - I see they got Noah Locke to transfer and do sit inside the top 25 of KenPom was a little surprised to see them unranked. Also lost lot of guys perhaps?

And.... Georgetown. Very rough year for Patrick Ewing last year, G'town is staying the course, the seat must be very hot though

South Carolina is struggling with South Carolina State at home right now on SEC Network, they lead 36-33 at the half.

The Coppin State-Georgetown game will be on FS1 at 8:30. Georgetown comes into this game on a 21-GAME LOSING STREAK, but they did pretty much run off everyone from last year's team. Coppin State is coached by Terp legend Juan Dixon.

Georgetown currently down by 3 to Coppin State with 8:30 left in the game

Last night´s games with RPI implications:
Duques 91 Montana 63
That School Down the Street 99 Coppin St 89 OT
So. Carolina (Not U$C) 80 So. Carolina St 77

Tonight, AU, Davidson and Howard (albeit against UDC) are in action.

Also, missed mentioning that on Monday potential Hawai´i opponent Seattle beat UC San Diego 85-71.

Why U$C? How are they different from about 50 other big time athletic programs? In the PAC-12 alone, Oregon has been riding that Phil Knight money train for many years.
