The A10 tourney is in DC. We have the #1 defense in the conf. There is no damn reason other than ones we can control, that we should not win the A10 tourney. We have same advantage vcu did back in the brown turd bowl. Just gotta show up and be loud!

There are 3 good reasons: 1) Offense can be non-existent, 2) Turnovers, 3) Free throw shooting can be atrocious.
Can we overcome our flaws? Sure. We have so far, but in the tourney it only takes one bad game.

Aren’t these all within Mason’s control? You’re talking about Mason beating themselves here, which is entirely possible.

Mason is 10th in Free Throw Percentage,12th in scoring offense, 1st in defense, 14th worst in turnovers.

The key in my opinion is the scoring margin, in where Mason is 2nd. We score 10.3 more points than we give up which somehow even being inefficient or nonexistent, we still have done well.

I believe the late great John Madden advocated for something similar “What you wanna do is score more points than the other guy, and when you do you always win most of the time”

Sorta like if a coach says "If we do what we have to do, we win"

Bubble Watch: Cardinals are a 'lock' and Tar Heels have 'work to do'

Selection Sunday is on March 16, so let's track which teams can play their way in or out of the tournament.

George Mason Patriots (32%)

George Mason almost let a win slip through on Tuesday against Saint Louis, recovering to win in OT. But the Patriots still have 32% tournament odds, whether we look at the ESPN forecast or the composite of models -- and it's unclear whether that's underrating their chances. The Patriots were listed in 65% of Bracket Matrix's most recent entries. But they also rank 47th in SOR, boast only a single win against top-100 competition, and only have one real résumé-boosting game remaining (at vcu on Feb. 22). George Mason's tourney hopes might rest on the A-10 tournament. (Updated Feb. 12 at 9:22 a.m.)
Next game: Saturday vs. Saint Joseph's, 12:30 p.m.

i

vcu Rams (55%)

In a tight battle between two bubble teams (Dayton appeared on this list last week), vcu prevailed last Friday night to raise its NCAA tournament chances into the mid-50% range. A lot of that probability is due to the Rams being solid favorites to win the A-10 tournament, though, and the conference has hovered between one to two NCAA berths in recent seasons. Because vcu ranks only 53rd in SOR, it is no sure thing to make the tourney without an auto-bid; the A-10 is expected to send only 1.2 teams to the brackets on average. (Updated Feb. 11 at 8:28 p.m.)
Next game: Wednesday at George Washington, 7 p.m.

Both Dayton and St. Bonaventure are top 100 road wins using most metrics (SOR, NET, RPI). Regardless, any path to an at-large still requires a win at vcu.
