Atlantic 10 Schedule: Conference Matchups favor La Salle and Massachusetts

The Atlantic 10 released its conference matchup schedule on Wednesday, June 12. The 13 team league will have 16 conference games for the 2013-14 season. Although the dates and times have yet to be released, an initial glance of the schedule seems to favor La Salle and Massachusetts.

La Salle coming off a historic season, have a favorable home schedule facing Saint Louis (last season's A-10 regular season and tournament champions) and Virginia Commonwealth at home.

Massachusetts might have an even better home schedule facing SLU, VCU, and La Salle at home. UMass is seen as a early favorite to win the A-10 by CBS Sports college basketball writer Matt Norlander. A favorable home schedule might help their pursuit of the A-10 crowd. Below is the remaining conference matchup schedule.
