NCAA tournament > A10 tournament

Fudd, the reason that people are focusing on A 10 regular season and tourney results is because that is the pathway to an NCAA bid. It is very difficult to get an at large bid without a top 4 finish in the A 10. Likewise, it is very hard to get into the semi - finals, more so the finals without the first round bye.
Just look at last year. A semi - final birth may have gotten UD into the tourney, a finals loss would have definitely done it. If that would have happened they may have won 2 NCAA tourney games the way they played in th NIT. I for one would have given BG an A had that happened.
