Fancy silhouetted court designs are all the rage these days and, as with most garish collegiate sports-related designs, we can safely blame Oregon. The Ducks' "Tall Firs" court at Matthew Knight Arena was groundbreaking when it was unveiled two years...

A source told ESPNBoston.com last night that George Washington University has extended a scholarship offer to Central Catholic Class of 2014 guard Tyler Nelson. The Colonials are the third Division 1 school to offer the 6-foot-2 Haverhill resident...

Well, Atlantic 10 fans, it's that time: The final conference power rankings of the season. I know, I know. You're sad. I'm sad, too. It's hard to say goodbye. It's hard to let go. All we can do is remember all of the times we shared, all of the laugh...

Another week of confusing Atlantic 10 action, another attempt to put these teams in some meaningful order by your humble power ranker. And with a big game on deck -- Saint Louis visits Butler at 7 p.m. ET tonight -- things are obviously subject to ch...

Another wacky week in the Atlantic 10, another mostly futile attempt to place the lion's share of these teams in something resembling a hierarchy. Let's give it a less wordy shot: 1. Virginia Commonwealth. For most of the nonconference season, VCU...

As far as debuts go, you can't get much better than former King Philip ace and Wrentham native Meghan Rico. In 2010, after a late-season injury to their star pitcher, then-sophomore Rico took over the reigns of the staff and led the Warriors to th...

After last week's incredibly controversial eight-way tie at sixth place, and after a week full of results as close to predictable as this league -- and, frankly, this sport -- is going to get, I come to you with a more streamlined, (hopefully) less i...

If someone tells you they know how to rank all 16 Atlantic 10 teams at this point in the 2012-13 season, that person is lying. To be honest, I was tempted to update John Gasaway's Tuesday Truths efficiency margin data to include Wednesday and Thursda...

Earlier today, I wrote about the eventful day in the Big East, as Villanova upset No. 3 Syracuse and Louisville dropped its third in a row in a loss at Georgetown. Here are a few other afternoon thoughts from around the college hoops landscape: 1....

The Atlantic 10 is deep. We've known this would be the case since the summer, when VCU and Butler joined a year early (a year before Temple was set to leave for the Big East), and we're seeing it play out on a nightly basis now that conference play i...

This week, my colleague Myron Medcalf described the Atlantic 10 to me as a "beautiful mess." That sounds about right. We know Virginia Commonwealth and Butler are really good. We know Temple and Saint Louis aren't too far behind. But the middle of th...

The Atlantic 10 should be an interesting race to watch. Eamonn Brennan takes a look at what to expect.

Another week of Atlantic-10 power rankings, another week spent reading through the kind words of my adoring readers. Let's do this, guys! 1. Virginia Commonwealth. In my experience, Butler fans are not only some of the nicest people around, there'...

Greetings from the post-Festivus edition of the Atlantic 10 power rankings! While the reads on many teams will remain the same -- college hoops mostly takes a break during the holidays -- this is also the post-Temple-upsetting-Syracuse edition of the...

Thanks to finals week, there hasn't been a ton of action in the Atlantic 10, and thus not much movement in the overall rankings. Anyway, you know ... enjoy while it lasts. It appears we've reached Peak A-10. Where we eventually go is anyone's gues...

1. Virginia Commonwealth. It's another edition of the much-requested Atlantic 10 conference power rankings, and we already have a new rightful heir to the throne. The margin between VCU and St. Joe's is slim, in my opinion, and it feels tough to drop...
