NBCSN's presents three Atlantic 10 basketball conference showdowns this week, highlighted by a women's basketball matchup tomorrow at Noon ET on NBCSN, as the Fordham Rams (15-8, 6-3) visit the George Washington Colonials (13-8, 6-3) at Charles E. Smith Center in Washington, D.C. The Rams, who are tied for third with GW in the A-10 standings, defeated the Colonials 76-69 in their most recent matchup last season. Mike Corey calls Wednesday's game alongside WNBA All Star and two-time NCAA Women's Basketball Champion Swin Cash (analyst).

Saturday's men's doubleheader action tips off at 12:30 p.m. ET on NBCSN, when the Dayton Flyers (15-5, 6-2) host the Duquesne Dukes (9-13, 2-7) at UD Arena in Dayton, Ohio. The Flyers, who are a half-game back from Richmond, seek to gain control of the A-10 standings with a win over the Dukes.

Ryan Burr (play-by-play) and David Kaplan (analyst) will provide commentary of the Duquesne-Dayton matchup.

Saturday's coverage continues at 2:30 p.m. ET, when the Richmond Spiders (13-8, 7-2) host the George Washington Colonials (12-9, 4-4) at Robins Center in Richmond, Va. The Spiders, who currently sit atop the A-10, look to win consecutive matchups against the Colonials after a 98-90 victory in D.C. last season.

Corey calls GW-Richmond alongside former Division I basketball player and coach Ron Thompson.
