A10 Tourney 2024

[69MG]

Pretty sure Fordham and Davidson are the 12-13 matchup, and the winner plays VCU. This is out the window if La Salle comes from down 12 to beat Loyola.

It comes down to a 3-way tiebreaker for the 10-12 spots between La Salle, Fordham and URI, who all finish 6-12. La Salle is 2-1 in the 3 way matchup, URI is 2-2 and Fordham is 1-2. That puts Fordham at 12, URI at 11 and La Salle at 10.

SBU and St. Joes play in the 8/9 game.

I need a nap now, so I'll wait for Bergman or the A10 to confirm this.

Now that the bracket is set, turning the "Standing/Seeding Changes Discussion" thread into a place to continue discussion about the games themselves.

Game we'll want to keep tabs on: Tuesday's 12/13 matchup, Fordham/Davidson. 11:30 AM on ESPN+. Winner gets VCU on Wednesday, and winner of that gets us on Thursday.

Fordham has lost 3 straight, and 7 of their last 9.
Davidson has lost 6 of their last 7, but the one win was at home over Fordham, 68-53. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-baske ... m-davidson

ESPN's algorithm says Davidson has a 67.5% chance to win.

Either should be significant dogs versus VCU
Fordham lost at home, 75-60, on 2/6 https://www.espn.com/mens-college-baske ... cu-fordham
Davidson lost at home, 63-58, on 1/27 https://www.espn.com/mens-college-baske ... u-davidson

Probably will be close but I pick Davidson.

Davidson vs VCU, I think the Rams take it but I hope it goes to five overtimes and they show up exhausted for us.

Interesting to see that.. I like it. I wouldn't call that finish "devastating" but nice to see someone outside of our bubble that believes we can make a run.

[TheInsider]

That would be a lot of fun and probably gwt us an NIT bid.

[e_parade]

I would love a run to the A10 championship game, no matter the result. And I agree that it would likely net us in the NIT...which I would also be happy about.

That would be a great turnaround from the past few years.


It is kind of funny that our most likely path to the finals would be through two teams we beat handily this season.

[UMass'96]

It's hard to beat the same team twice in the same year.

Jayden deserves some shine somewhere. Kid is a huge contributor to this team and has to be one of the better freshman in the league
