Not really. I realize that LaSalle has benefit of being in the Big 5 and having 6 D-1 programs in the City. But, look at a school like Richmond. Hardly, a national power. Solid program, rarely make tourney, rarely at top tier of A-10. Not really dissimilar from Lehigh in size and academics. This year, they play 7 home OOC games. One tourney. Only 3 away. And, two of their home games are Power 5 conference teams coming to Robins Arena (Wake Forest and Texas Tech). They aren’t forced to play a D3 opponent like Cabrini and get more than twice the number of home D1 games (7 vs 3 for Lehigh). And, in the tourney, they get Maryland, and K Stare or BC, 2 more Power 5 games. Scheduling in A-10 and PL very different.
