Sorry, didn't see this for a few days until now. As we know GW was the 12 seed and UMass the 13; I can only imagine at that moment, the standings had UMass listed ahead of GW based on better overall record. That's all I got :twisted:

URI and SLU had something to say about that.

Yes, very surprised that SLU beat Dayton...battle of 2 mediocre coaches. I think Bonnies beat URI and wins it all now...

So it's now looking like a 2-bid league assuming VCU gets in as an at-large. Davidson is the highest remaining seed and I'd love to see what they can do in the tournament, but this league has been so wide open this year it's anybody's guess as to who takes it.

Thanks for the response DirSport. That's what I figured as well, and I probably just checked the standings too soon after games finished.

@Bunkerhill87: Agreed, and although I can't remember which game it was, we did this effectively at times. The guards found RH in the post and he made some nice touch passes out to Pierre for rhythm 3's. Too bad they weren't more consistent with it the rest of the year.

Just read that this is the third year in a row that Rhode island has knocked VCU out of the tournament

The Bonnies over URI. Can the Bonnies keep this up? Their starters' minutes were 40, 40, 39, 38, 37. The bench totaled 6 minutes and scored no points.

Saint Louis pretty much dominated Davidson

Neither team got any bench scoring except for a free throw in the last minute. Seems like the A10 doesn't have much bench strength.

Looks like VCU, Davidson and the winner of tomorrow's final in the NCAAT. St. Bon could be in with barely over .500.

^Davidson's not getting in to the tournament. Hoping VCU does not get screwed tomorrow, and the A-10 gets two teams in

CBSsports has them in but that's just their educated guess. I wonder if St Bon or St Louis getting in will knock out Davidson, if they were being considered in the first place?
