Fun website to simulate scenarios for the final three A10 games and see where things would land:
https://bball.notnothing.net/atlantic10.php?sport=mbbLast two double byes are really between us, Dayton, SLU and Joe's. I think the most likely scenario, given remaining schedules, is that we go 2-1 (drop @SLU), Dayton goes 2-1 (drops @VCU), SLU goes 2-1 (drops @Dayton) and Joe's goes 3-0 (three relatively easy games and they are playing very well lately). That would put us and Joe's at 3/4 at 12-6 (we'd have the tie breaker over them) and Dayton and SLU at 5/6 at 11-7. Obviously a lot of basketball to be played, but wouldn't that be something to see Dayton and SLU sitting outside the top 4 after all the preseason (and, in UD's case, non-con) hype?
Win tomorrow and they get a top 4. Lose and they likely don't. Can't ask for anything more than to have your fate in your own hands at the end of the year.
I don't like us on the road but if you were to choose a road opponent, UMass at only 8-7 at home would be it.
Dayton v. VCU is an important game tonight as well. Ramblers really want that #3 seed as it exchanges SLU instead of Dayton and GMU instead of VCU as early opponents.
