The just-completed A-10 meetings finalized the league opponents for each team next season. Each team plays three teams twice and everyone else once, and it changes every two years. Teams get to request opponents, saying whether they want to play hard teams or easy teams or a combination of the two. SLU will play Dayton, Xavier and Duquesne twice, meaning they will be going into the two toughest places in the league to play (other than Chaifetz) and playing two of the toughest teams twice.

The team's other road trips will be to Fordham, GW, Richmond, St. Bonaventure and Temple.

The team's other home games will be Charlotte, La Salle, UMass, Rhode Island and St. Joe's.

At first glance, it looks like a challenging road schedule, with games against what I would think are four of the best teams in the league, Xavier, Dayton, Richmond and Temple. If SLU can pick off a couple of those, they'll be in good shape. But with Xavier and Dayton coming in, the home schedule has some good games too.

Xavier will play Charlotte, Dayton and SLU twice, Dayton will play SLU, Xavier and Duquesne twice. Temple gets Fordham, La Salle and St. Joe's twice (they'll be piling up the wins), and Richmond gets Charlotte, GW and St. Joe's.
