With the departure of Staten, Spearman, and Coach BG, Dayton's basketball program is going to be set back a few years, at least. I'm still amazed that all of that happened.

Is Staten still leaving now that BG is gone?

Good question and I don't have an answer. It crossed my mind today though when I found out BG was leaving. From what I've heard, the upperclassmen, especially Chris Johnson, didn't get along with Staten at all. Supposedly those two got into it at halftime of the A-10 championship game. Staten probably won't be back but who knows. Many fellow X fans have thrown some speculative destinations out there, like Clemson because Brownell probably talked to him while he was in HS in the Dayton area since he was coaching Wright State at the time. Don't know if Brownell actively recruited him or what though.

Good for both schools honestly. Should be an excellent series..

Last week, Memphis Roar reported on Twitter that both Xavier and Wisconsin were, according to a source, looking to sign a deal on a new home-and-home series starting next season on the road. Adding at least one of these games was essential in order to shore up the Tigers’ non-conference home schedule for next season. Mission accomplished. Less than a full seven days later, Memphis Roar has learned that the ink is now dry on a new home-and-home basketball series between the University of Memphis and Xavier University starting with the 2011-2012 season. The series will open in Memphis, TN at the FedExForum and will rotate back to Cincinnati, OH the following year. While dates for each of the two games have not been set, the series is done. Xavier head coach Chris Mack tweeted earlier this afternoon confirming our report:

I saw that today. I'm really excited. I think it's a series that is a little overdue. I think X, Butler, Memphis, and Gonzaga should be playing each other every year somehow. X has Gonzaga, among others, at home next season and Memphis and Butler on the road.

That is rather disappointing.

However, I am ready for some A-10 basketball!

X and Temple are the favorites with everyone else battling for 3 thru 14. As always, everybody needs to take care of OOC wins. Lots of great opportunities for the A-10 schools to get some big wins. I hope X and Temple win the bulk of theirs to help themselves, and the league, out.

Tu Holloway is going to miss X's first game against Morgan State for a rules violation. He committed the heinous crime of playing a game in more than one summer league this year.
