The Atlantic 10 conference has produced some fantastic basketball throughout the 2020-21 season. There have been several teams ridden with COVID-19 postponements, but several teams stand out so far led by the best players in the conference.
Nah’Shon “Bones” Hyland has played the best basketball of any player in the A-10 while leading his team to the top of the conference. Osun Osunniyi has been a dominant presence defensively, leading the league in blocks per game and third per game in rebounds. A podcast will be posted discussing my all-conference team selections soon.
