The Atlantic 10 Conference announced this morning the home and away matchups for the 2024-25 men’s basketball season.
Once again, the Atlantic 10 men’s basketball teams will play an 18-game league schedule. Saint Louis University will face every league opponent at least once and four teams twice in the regular season, leading to the 2025 Atlantic 10 Men’s Basketball Championship Tournament, which will be played March 12-16, 2025, at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C.
For the second-straight season, Saint Louis will play the following teams twice, once at home and once on the road: Dayton, Loyola Chicago, Saint Joseph’s and VCU. All four of those teams reached postseason play a year ago and all are figured to rank near the top of various preseason polls.
Also making trips to Chaifetz Arena will be Duquesne, George Mason, La Salle, Rhode Island and St. Bonaventure. SLU will also travel to face Davidson, Fordham, George Washington, Massachusetts and Richmond.
Five A-10 teams that reached the postseason last year will pay visits to Chaifetz Arena. Defending league tournament champion Duquesne and Dayton both advanced to the NCAA Tournament. Loyola Chicago, Saint Joseph’s and VCU were in the 2024 NIT.
The complete 2024-25 A-10 schedule with dates, times and national television information will be announced at a later date, usually around the beginning of September. The nonconference schedule continues to take shape and will also be released at a later date.
