A couple of thoughts:

> I could see GW taking a big tumble down the A-10 standings this season. Much like Charlottle last yr, it's just so tough losing your head coach.

> This is St. Bonaventure's yr to do something special & really make an impact in the league - Andrew Nicholson's senior yr. That team just seems so dependent on him to me that they are going to have a huge void to fill after he graduates.

> Xavier is still the class of the league. They could run away w/ this thing. With all of the talent they are bringing in/welcoming back, that team is going to be tough to beat.
