There’s a lot at stake in the Atlantic 10 tournament.
Top-seeded Davidson is considered by most bracket predictors to be firmly in the NCAA tournament field, though nothing is guaranteed. The tournament hopes for Dayton and VCU, on the other hand, are much more tenuous with both on the bubble.
Dayton beat Davidson on the final day of the regular season, a win that was a big boost to its at-large hopes. VCU, meanwhile, is viewed very positively in the NET rankings and had won eight in a row before losing at Saint Louis on Saturday.
With the way the A-10 bracket shakes out, Dayton and VCU could be on a collision course to meet in the semifinals.
