A10 Playoff Picture

With just two weekends of conference play left before the conference tournament, the race for those 6 spots is coming down to the wire. Here is where the race stands now:

    Team                                  Games Remaining
1. St. Joseph's 11-3                8 (UMass, Rhode Island, Fordham, George Washington)
2. George Washington 10-4    6 (Dayton, Temple, St. Joseph's)
3. Fordham 11-5                    6 (St. Bonaventure, St. Joseph's, Temple)
4. UMass 8-4                        10 (St. Joseph's, Temple, Rhode Island, Butler, St. Louis)
5. Temple 9-5                        8 (Rhode Island, UMass, George Washington, Fordham)
6. St. Louis 10-6                    6 (Charlotte, Rhode Island, UMass)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
7. Dayton 10-7                      4 (George Washington, St. Bonaventure)
8. Butler 7-9                          6 (Charlotte, UMass, Rhode Island)
9. Charlotte 6-8                     6 (St. Louis, Butler, La Salle)
10. Rhode Island 2-9            10 (Temple, St. Joseph's, UMass, St. Louis, Butler)
11. La Salle 3-15                  4 (St. Bonaventure, Charlotte)
12. St. Bonaventure 2-14      6 (Fordham, La Salle, Dayton)

At the moment, every team but La Salle and St. Bonaventure is still postseason eligible. There are a lot of matchups between these 10 teams vying for 6 spots. Right now it is almost impossible to predict who will advance to Amherst given the multitude of scenarios. St. Joseph's and Fordham are probably in the best shape at the moment given their current win totals and the games they have remaining. UMass and George Washington have the toughest remaining schedules. If Dayton can beat George Washington this weekend, they will be in very good shape to make it to 14-7. Butler and Charlotte are in virtual must win situations and any loss at the moment is very harmful to either team. Rhode Island must win out and get a lot of help.

Best advice to all: just win. If you win you control your destiny, it's as simple as that.

Here's to two weeks of the closest conference race that the A10 has ever seen!
