Going into the last couple of weeks of non conference the A Ten is ranked 7th with seven teams in the top 100 including Dayton at 5 G.W. at 9 and Davidson at 14. Dayton leads everyone in top 25 wins at 3-2 top 50 wins at 4-2 and a SOS of 8. Saturday all ten teams playing are at home and we have a great chance of going 9-1, the only loss maybe VCU against UC. Think we could still climb up to 6th as a conference which would be a decent spot for a 14 team conference. As usual too many sub 200 programs, three, which of course drags the whole league down. Man has St. Louis really hit bottom as they're at 223, second from last to LaSalles 240 something. Lots of calls for crews head on their board which is understandable and over at H.O.H. they're all breathing a sigh of relief they didn't take the billikens as an expansion team as bad as they've turned out. As a conference let's keep the winning going as the higher we finish we possibly get an extra team or two in the dance which is what everybody is shooting for.
