Home versus Vanderbilt.

WillWeaverRVA · Apr 5, 2022

IIRC the home Penn State game should be happening as well (since it was canceled this past season due to COVID) but I'm not 100% sure of that.

yeah Idk... I mean the @ LSU game didn't get re-scheduled from the year before... so who knows.

That was a different circumstance, though (part of Wade's contract), I'm pretty sure LSU bought us out of the second game.

I thought it was cancelled cause of Covid honestly.

I recall hearing that LSU did *not* pay VCU to eliminate that game. Instead, after the initial date was canceled due to COVID, LSU offered multiple dates for the rescheduled game that there was no way VCU could do. So, they weaseled out.

Pretty sure it was mentioned that the PSU game would be rescheduled.

I hadn't heard that... but I'll put it in there for now til we hear otherwise.

The reason the home/home clause is put in every VCU head coach contract is more for the opportunity to bring a P5 school to the Stu, which is very difficult to do. LSU honored that portion of the contract. The game at LSU was more on VCU not finding acceptable replacement dates than it was on LSU. If anything, VCU walked away from that return game, not LSU.

espn's Way Too Early Top 25 has Dayton AND SLU in....so already looking like a nice bounceback year for the A10 WITH a bunch of new, solid coaching hires.

Arkansas is No. 1 in Way-Too-Early Top 25 college basketball rankings for 2022-23

Arkansas hasn't won a national title or reached a Final Four in 25-plus years. The Razorbacks are ESPN's early favorite to win the 2023 national championship.

It doesn't hurt to put it in there with a question mark next to it. I'm sure it is possible that it could be pushed back a year, but who knows.

Rothstein also has Davidson in his early top 45, but no VCU. The A-10 is going to be tough next year, and who knows what Loyola will bring to the table next year. Right now, I would place VCU at pre-season #3 or #4 in the A-10 next year.

With the addition of Loyola-Chicago.... I'm interested to see how the conference schedule will look. Are we still doing 18 game conference seasons? If so that means we will only play 4 teams twice.... versus 5... presumably Richmond, GMU & Idk who the other 2 would be... Dayton & Davidson?
