Going into the final weekend of #A10wsoc action🎃, SLU is locked in to the one seed, four teams still jockeying for home field advantage in the first two rounds. Two de facto "play-in games" exist for the final two seeds, and GW also still has a little bit of work to do at home.
So the university of Michigan men’s basketball team has a guy on their team that was playing summer league for the pistons.
NCAA is broken.
Castellanos, starting for Texas Tech, declared the draft, didn’t get drafted… is up 41-27 with 4TDs at halftime.

When Ella Cadigan arrived at La Salle, she was no longer the best player on her team.
She knew this would happen, but the transition to the college level was difficult. The midfielder previously starred at Westfield High School, a girl’s soccer powerhouse in North Jersey. In some ways, she was back at square one at 20th and Olney.
“I put so much of my identity on how I performed and whether I scored or not,” Cadigan said. “I just lost my love for the game a little bit.”
Self-doubt overcame Cadigan during her first two seasons with the Explorers. This summer, while playing for Morris Elite SC of the United Soccer League, she dispelled those feelings by focusing more on the “mental side” of soccer.
It led her further away from the pitch.

Sometimes we wonder if they still think about "what if" they had stayed in #A10wsoc? The Xavier Musketeers never even sniffed the postseason in the @atlantic10 conference, so they had to get relegated to the @BIGEAST that they could actually win, just about every year! #LetUsGo✘
Let us just say it is way past time to go back to 6 seeds with the two first-round byes. Because this was a time suck! And the only four top seeds to ever lose in a first round deserved a bye, but instead got sent home 1-0 by teams with nothing to lose in a park the bus strategy.
Hopefully #A10wsoc and #A10msoc coaches consider an offseason vote to revamp #A10champs, as they have formerly validated our thought process on top seeds hosting the playoffs; reg. season going from 11 games to 8(M) or 10(W) for home and away balance; and avoiding weekday travel!
The @SouthwestAir round trip to the presumptive #A10champs city is now $700. BITD we used to get it for like $260 by booking as soon as the schedule came out! Waited this year because there was no clear 1 seed. That was cool part about "neutral site"; being able to lock in fares.
The 1 vs. 8 #A10wsoc match is this afternoon, with Fordham at Saint Louis. Unlike the Billikens' regular season matches which have a fee to enter, this match is free for all fans! Expect Robert R. Hermann @HermannTrophy Stadium to be packed to the gills. #A10champs
The two semester proposal getting shot down isn’t surprising but I hope the reform efforts don’t end because there are plenty of areas where money could be saved and the sport improved working within the confines of the NCAA as it currently exists.
