A10 Tourney 2017 (General Thread Non-Flyers)

1st Round Game times are posted to Atlantic10.com (tentative)

Saturday, October 28
#1 LA SALLE vs #8 DAYTON, 1 pm
#4 DUQUESNE vs #5 GEORGE WASHINGTON, 1 pm
#2 ST LOUIS vs #7 SAINT JOSEPH'S, 7 pm Central (8pm East)

Sunday, October 29
#3 GEORGE MASON vs #6 VCU, 1pm

As I before mentioned, I am very fond of the new campus sites format for a few reasons. Whereas in the past few seasons seeds became less meaningful when they suddenly got rid of the first round bye and just threw eight teams into a mix, the new format rewards the top four teams with something even better than a bye. The opportunity to host makes the regular season matches a bit more meaningful, as evidenced by the George Mason, GW/Duquesne matches today that might otherwise have been simply snoozers/tune up games. The campus site is also good for the hosting fans with attendance, as it reduces travel for players and fans. Finally, by extending the tournament an extra weekend, we should see a better quality final rather than forcing three games in on short rest. This last effect is probably the coaches' favorite of them all. By the time Dayton and La Salle (and more recently, Duquesne one time) have gotten to the NCAA's, they've been gassed from the A10 beating up on each other. I am hoping for the A10 victor this year to get us our first NCAA chip(s) since, I think, Dayton did in 2010! (In 2006 and from 2008 to 2010, the A10 victors all appeared in the NCAA Second Round, but I do not believe any A10'ers have advanced since.)

Looking ahead to Round 2, here's a treat for anyone that goes to the semifinals trip in Richmond. The women's games are on Friday (2 semifinals) and Sunday (Championship). In between on Saturday, the VCU men's team may also be hosting a playoff match! (Seeding is still to be determined for the men's side.)
