Who Wins the A-10 Tourney?
 
Rhodey has picked a terrible time to suffer a losing streak. They are the only qualifier for an at-large bid to the dance. The Bonnies are on the Bubble watch and Davidson has a bad loss to Dayton. I think Davidson will win the Championship tournament despite their porous defense. I do not believe the Flyers will beat VCU on a neutral court. Rhodey's season end fade will undermine the A-10 this year along with the poor performance of seven teams with sub-par records.

These prognosticators give UD a 1.1% chance to win the A-10 tournament:

So, you’re saying that we have a chance!

I guess that's better than 1-in-a-million :D

Beatty Town Coach 03-05-2018 10:03 PM

Fordham takes the automatic; or at-least a team with Rams Mascot..Especially if UD goes down to VCU.

Seriously, I would say Bonnaventure, Davidson, or Saint Joes; but I truly believe about ten schools have a fighting chance. Nothing but A10 Madness!

Jeff 03-05-2018 10:17 PM

Rhode Island or the Bonnies.

No one else is close.

116 Chambers 03-06-2018 08:11 AM

"No one else is close?!"

Davidson has been solid all year in the A10 and took St. Bonaventure to triple OT on Bonnie's Senior Night;

St. Joe's went in to Rhode Island recently and won by 30 pts;

Not to mention the volatility from game to game this year in the A10 on a consistent basis. I'm expecting some chaos for sure

CE80 03-06-2018 08:36 AM

I picked Davidson in Jablo's bracket challenge.

Meaningless game after they locked up the A10 title for the first time in a couple of hundred years.

T-Bone 84 03-06-2018 08:59 AM

I’ll cast a ballot for the Bonnies. Have seen Adams and/or Mobley go off so many times, if either/both get hot in DC, it’ll pose some real problems for the opposition.

Davidson.

I printed the logo of each A10 team on a sheet of paper and placed them on the palatial lawn before letting Rudy the Wonderdog out to take care of business. He pee'd on URI and crapped on Davidson...so I'm betting on St. Bonnie.

CT Flyer 03-06-2018 10:22 AM

I'll take URI...but let's be clear that I still hate Hurley.

Interesting that Senior Day would be so unimportant to a team with 5 seniors that getting smoked by 30 points in their final home game was considered meaningless.

Hmm.... I have my doubts that the word meaningless was ever used in the URI locker room.

Beatty Town Coach 03-06-2018 11:47 PM

Not only that, but when Rhody sees their Selection Sunday seed line, I am certain they won't say, thank God we deliberately lost those last few regular season games. Call it a hunch!

Yeah, when I looked at their Dance Card score a couple of days ago, they were sitting at 31. I know that’s not the end-all and be-all for seeding, but the 8/9 line falls between 29 & 36 in terms of the NCAA’s power ranking, and I can’t see URI’s power ranking leap-frogging, say, the 4th place team in the ACC during the A10 Tourney with the relative weakness of the A10 this year.

That said, if they wind-up on the 8/9 line, win their opener, and then face a certain “Gangsta” program in the round of 32, it’ll certainly make for some interesting viewing in about 10 days.

Trying for that 5-12 matchup.

Flyer2 03-07-2018 01:30 AM

I’m shocked.....19 post and we stayed on topic! So I will fix that with a question of some interest Did Jordan Pierce make the trip or did he join X?

steverino015 03-07-2018 03:33 AM

back on topic

Have nothing more than a hunch, but remember Baby Ds broken thumb when you count Jordan Pierce as gone.....

Did Jordan Pierce break DD's thumb?

ud2 03-07-2018 09:46 AM

I am picking Davidson.

rollo 03-07-2018 09:51 AM

Unless a hangnail falls under the category of 'broken', I'm calling BS on this story. Other than a dozen poor shooting days, he never once shook his hand in pain, held his hand in pain, came out of a game in pain, had the hand/thumb securely wrapped, etc... It's hard to hide a broken anything if it's truly broken...so again, I'm calling this story as nothing more than a weak excuse from a fragile ego.

King Rollo the Observant...OUT!

You can't pick Davidson. I already picked them and we are not allowed to agree on anything - :D

flyerfan4life 03-07-2018 10:45 AM

It's too bad we drew RI in round 2 if we can get by VCU. I honestly think we can beat anyone in the A10 on a given night on a neutral floor besides RI.

Going to stick my neck out and say last one standing

Beatty Town Coach 03-07-2018 12:44 PM

Avid, you are a true dice roller!

Beatty Town Coach 03-07-2018 12:46 PM

Fat story

Hurley loses games on purpose, and Grant makes up fake injuries. Don't you know anything!?!?

Runnin' Rebel 03-07-2018 09:38 PM

Since it's March, I expect the unexpected... so George Mason will somehow win the A10 tourney.

BRob2Perryman3 03-07-2018 09:44 PM

See ya LaSalle. And then there were 13

UD90 03-07-2018 10:36 PM

Saint Joe's

Alberto Strasse 03-10-2018 10:01 AM

Still Hanging In
 
Davidson looked impressive against SLU's defense. They are tournament hot. But the Bonnie's
have won 13 in a row.

Alberto Strasse 03-10-2018 09:18 PM

Davidson Looked Impressive
 
in their defeat of St Bonaventure. I believe they will beat Rhodey tomorrow.

Beatty Town Coach 03-10-2018 10:18 PM

Go Davidson, for A10 three bids.

Beatty Town Coach 03-10-2018 10:25 PM

Also, if Davidson had another week of season, they are really creeping into the at-large picture.

Same for Saint Joes if they had another month of season; the Hawks have really improved, just not soon enough.
