Not like Mason has ever lost to a D3 school in an exhibition...wait what?

St. Johns is a BCS?

 

[Pablo]

St. Johns is a BCS?

St. John's is obviously not BCS. Can we all agree that High-Major Conferences for basketball include both the Big East and the A10?

 

[JBiggs]

The proper designation now is "P-5" or "Power 5." The conferences with big-time football.

Are there 5 left? ACC, Big 10, Pac 12 and SEC right? Does anyone consider the AAC part of the big 5?

Um, the Big 12 still plays football.

Um, the Big 12 still plays football.

No they don't, they play hoops 8 months a year!

Forgot Big 12!

Monmouth 84 UCLA 81 OT

There are always upsets, but I don't remember so many "big name" schools all losing on opening night.

Radford knocked off Georgetown in double OT

 

[psyclone]

Not an upset of a BCS team, but Madison knocked off Richmond who I thought was considered to be a top half A10 team. May be hard getting used to being an underdog to Madison this year.

Alabama State 85 - VA Tech 82

Radford knocked off Georgetown in double OT

The Radford coach will definitely get a shot at a bigger school. He's done a great job there.

Nice win for GW over UVa the other night. And given UVa's national ranking (#6?), a good win for the A-10.

I just noticed that rpiforecast has GW ranked #1 (obviously way to early to mean anything).

richmond looked good beating Wake. Top 4 in A10.
