Thanks for doing this again.

When in doubt, go to Stunna. He is Mr. All-Knowledgeable when it comes to A-10 tiebreakers thus time of year.

Up to 5th already. The ascension begins

Nice to see us holding the 5th spot after last night's action. I hope the teams in the jumbled middle aren't just playing for 5th place as the top four teams seem to be asserting themselves. VCU does have a tough remaining schedule, and we'll have an opportunity to hand Loyola Chicago a loss, but we're going to need one of those teams to stumble down the stretch. Probably going to take at least a 6-2 finish in order to have a shot at top 4. One at a time.

Go Bonnies!

man look at Loyola's schedule. I was expecting them to fall back a bit but honestly they could run the table from here until they play us on the 27th. That game could be huge

[kccgold]

We are gonna have to beat VCU again I bet. It can be done of course since we’ve done it twice but by March they will have had some more time to gel. I think the Duq loss has us looking at a 5 seed scenario

[ThomasMerton]

bump -- it's the weekend

[glenlaw]

Dayton, Richmond and VCU all with tough road games this week. Look forward to watching us battle LaSalle, hopefully with success, then see where we stand.

Today is Monday February 19. Five game remaining.

The Bonnies have three away games --- LaSalle, UMass and GW.

And two home games --- Loyola and St Louis

These fine young men need to step up because their fate is in their own hands.

What team will show up?

Let's go Bonas

[letsgobonas]

The Bonnies could honestly win all of these games... Loyola's only decent conference win was at Mason... if we don't get the double bye, I'd love to get L-C in the 4-5 matchup, as they look like a weak link.

[ceharv]

So the most likely candidates for us to finish in a tie with are UMass, St. Joes and Mason and we have the tiebreaker against UMass and Joes but Mason has the tiebreaker over us, and that’s not going to change. Should VCU fall into a tiebreaker with us, we own the breaker over them as well. So Mason’s remaining schedule is important and they still have Duquesne at home on Wednesday, at URI Wednesday the 6th, finishing home to Richmond. Gonna be tight.

Good call, kcc, you nailed it! LUC brings a 7-game win streak to the RC plus some of their old Valley swagger that helped the Ramblers reach two Final Fours. A tough test.

[glenlaw]

VCU with a tough end of schedule, with URI, Duquense, Richmond and Dayton. If they go 1 - 3 and Bonnies win last three, we're 4th seed with the VCU tiebreaker. Of course, one game at a time.

[bigcat]

If the Bonnies finish 5th we would play the winner of the 12/13 game. Right now it would be Davidson-LaSalle at 2:00 Wednesday. The group of teams currently 10th to 13th are possible opponents.

10. Fordham 6 9
11. Rhode Island 5 10
12. Davidson 5 10
13. La Salle 5 11
