UMass:
We only played them once this season and beat them at home 70-59:

FYI. Richmond and Umass played once this season with UMass winning 85-76 in Amherst.
Box Score: https://umassathletics.com/sports/mens-basketball/stats/2022-23/richmond/boxscore/14514

I would prefer to play UMass. Beating a team 3 times in a season is never easy, especially when the first two were so close.

Discuss.

Was quoting as follows.

If:

Fordham beats Duquesne
Dayton beats SLU
vcu beats GW
Mason beats Richmond

Then: Fordham is the 3 seed, SLU is the 4, Mason is the 5 and Duquesne is the 6.

Since SLU beat Dayton I believe we are #6. I hate, oops wrong thread, when it comes down to the wire. If I'm wrong, it isn't the first time, it won't be the last, then I'll update.

The anal retentive in me requires me to post the next thread immediately after a Mason game. ;)

Without doing any research I am saying this was the best successful regular season in the A10 for GMU.

*Edited. I guess they hit 11 wins once before.

2018-19 (18-15, 11-7 A-10)
(0-15, 0-7 A-10) with NCAA win vacations

In a few minutes, Duquesne will be one game behind Mason.

If GW defeats vcu then GW is #5. Otherwise, Mason will be #5. This is one of those UBER RARE moments when I am pulling for vcu.

I was looking at the bracket. It may be an easier road as 6th seed, but I still want to be the 5th seed.

As much as it’s cool to be the 5 seed, the 6 seed route is def better matchup wise for us, and it doesn’t have us playing any more games. So, go GW?
If GW wins we would be 7 seed, not 6. I'm not sure which route is easier for us but I'm rooting for 5 seed.

Admittedly I don’t understand how every tie breaker works, but I don’t see how we drop below 6

There is no tie to break between Mason and Duquesne. You are correct to state that Mason will now do no worse than #6. We'll know in a few minutes. vcu is up 6 with 1:35 to go versus GW.

So basically if mason beats the 12/13 winner, we get Slu in the quarters.

If we somehow beat slu, we get vcu on semifinal Saturday.
