Dayton a 9 seed, vcu a 9 seed, UMass a 6 seed, St. Louis a 10 seed.

Side note - Drexel as the CAA rep.

Interesting there's no love for GW. They will definitely get in if they keep playing like they have been.

 

[gmujim92]

It's entirely conceivable that we could be part of a 5-bid league -- UMass, Dayton, vcu, SLU, GW -- and not even qualify for any sort of postseason play.

Irrelevant, indeed.

 

[Patriotsince81]

No GMU? WTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sarcasm test...................

 

[phoenix-arizona]

It will be cool if A10 continues to be multi bid; it's exciting to be able to follow more than just one or two conference or league reps through the tournament.

Well, this sucks.....

 

[GMUSSTN]

Well, this sucks.....

Lunardi's brackets usually do...

And realize that teams that do qualify earn a larger % of the conference payout than teams that don't. I don't remember the specifics, but I believe the A10 provides the teams that earned a bid a larger % than the CAA does.

I was speaking more to the fact that we have a Bracketology thread and that it sucks we won't be any part of any sort of Bracketology discussion other than maybe the YMCA 30 and over for Hewitt and Co.

Hey that's a tough tournament and you can't underestimate the value of that $50 Hard Times Cafe gift card they're giving away for the champion this year.

Pretty sure A-10 teams keep 75 percent of their tournament revenue. We'll be taking a 1/13 share of the rest.

Gonna take us a long time to pay off Tom Yeager at 1/13 shares of 25% of each NCAA share.

SLU hasn't played anyone good yet. Their OOC SOS is as soft as butter.

They've played Wichita State and Wisconsin. Lost them both, but played them close. Wisconsin is Final Four-caliber.

Screw ESPN such haters. My prediction Mason as a 12 seed after exceptional conference play.

What....In the CBI?

What I meant to say was SLU hasn't beaten anyone good.

We are paying off Yeager with the 400k we get from the TV revenue via the a10 deal.

As a GMU fan, you're obligated to not be realistic about this.

Dancing with a Hottie: UMass (3)
Dancing with its Sister: George Washington (7)
Wallflowers: Dayton (10), Saint Louis (12c), vcu (second team out)

UMass suffered its first loss to Florida State on Dec. 21, but the Minutemen are No. 1 in RPI, No. 4 in schedule strength, 3-1 against the top 50, 7-1 versus the top 100 and 7-1 away from home.

GW has won six straight to rise to 37th in the RPI with a win over Creighton on its ledger.

Arizona State--one and done
