Haslametrics.com FWIW - Here are the initial Haslam ratings for this season. 61 - Dayton 82 - VCU 93 - Duquesne 95 - St. Bonaventure 98 - Saint Joseph's 108 - Loyola Chicago 109 - Saint Louis 115 - Richmond 123 - George Mason 148 - Fordham 162 - Davidson 188 - UMass 194 - George Washington 221 - Rhode Island 225 - La Salle
Over half the conference is in the Top 125. If all of the A10 teams can get their share of non-conference wins (and get a couple Power 6 wins), the A10 could once again be looking at 2 or 3 bids.
Haslametrics has us winning the first game by 8. But it has only Dayton in the NCAA from the A-10. No play-in teams or First 8 Out teams. So there is work to do to get multiple bids.
Seems as though this should be one of the years when Haslametrics is an outlier. Really, one has to be pessimistic to believe that a team with that much talent is the 93rd best team in the Country. If anybody wants to take the other side of that bet....
