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.

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!

"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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
