I don't think Drew Valentine is actually on the Hot Seat... yet.
GW is legit. Dayton will be a roller coaster this year (when are they not?) Big opportunity for SLU this Saturday.
Loyola might end up in the NEC...

In my unofficial "Chaos" system, which is a sophisticated sabermetric program that mathematically calculates "unhinged vibes" the A10 pre-season rankings are:
1. St. Joe's
2-14. Everyone else
Looking forward to another season, everyone!

The underlying stats aren't terrible. Even on turnovers and offensive rebounds.
Just need to get better looks from 3 and hit some shots. Let's see what adjustments are made at halftime.

If we're going to have a chance tomorrow, we need to get back to our roots...

Keys to the 2nd Half:
- Limit turnovers
- Continue to win on the glass
- Get somebody hot from 3, doesn't matter who

If there's a stat that tells you how the first half went, it's the assists. I guarantee that got pointed out in the locker room at halftime.
Also, they gave Swope a foul that 100% should've gone to McCottry in that half, and it fundamentally changed the way the rest of the half played out

Felt like a B- half for the Billikens. The offense had a hard time getting the ball to third side of the floor early on, but they found some momentum to close out the half.
Ultimately, they're rebounding, and limiting turnovers. You will always give yourself a chance to win if you do that

The diagnosis is simple in the 2nd half:
- Rebound
- Run Bamisile off the 3 point line
They're still in this game, but they're too reliant on making tough shots, and the ball is getting stuck a lot on offense. Feels like fighting an uphill battle

Being above .500 in conference play apparently makes you at least frisky and Fun this year.
Say what you will about the A10 - This conference knows what it's about... chaos and suffering #A10Sky

Main takeaways:
1. There is a clear hierarchy of Ram(b)s at the moment, and VCU is at the bottom, per the transitive rule
2. Archie Miller being a thing this year is both fun and shitty at the same time
3. Anthony Grant masterclass last night
