2012 Atlantic 10 Tournament

Question

I dont think I can make it this year, but Im less upset as the 1st round sites are no longer in AC, rather at the 5,6,7 and 8 seeds buildings.

Line up for Tuesday (times are TBA):

#8 Massachusetts (9-7) vs. #9 Duquense (7-9)
#5 St. Joseph's (9-7)vs. #12 Charlotte (5-11)
#7 La Salle (9-7) vs. #10 Richmond (7-9)
#6 Dayton (9-7) vs. #11 George Washington (5-11)

Winners advance to AC Friday and play in the following games:

#1 Temple (13-3) vs. #8/#9 Game winner 12 pm
#4 St. Bonaventure (10-6) vs. #5/#12 Game winner 2:30 pm
#2 St. Louis (12-4) vs. #7/#10 Game winner 6:30 pm
#3 Xavier (10-6) vs. #6/#11 Game winner 9 pm

Winners of these games play Saturday as follows:

#1/#8/#9 Game winner vs. #4/#5/#12 Game winner 1 pm
#2/#7/#10 Game winner vs. #3/#6/#11 Game winner 3:30 pm

Sunday Final:

Well that's pretty obvious, the 2 winners of the above games 1 pm

Should be a fairly wide open tournament, although it is pretty clear that the #1 and #2 seeds in Temple and St. Louis are solid favorites. Other teams like Xavier (if they can get their act together), Dayton, Bona, St. Joe's all have a shot to run the table IMO, and for some reason I want to give UMass a shot too. Should be fun.

I&#x27;ll be taking the points with Charlotte. Our students are on Spring Break and Charlotte is a flat-out awful matchup for us.

CrusCrnshw · Answer

Pederson, Lemmons, Harvey, BucciTokelau is a tiny island in the middle of nowhere in the Pacific. It is safe to say I am not from there...

JFen31 · Answer

But I would feel very good about a quarterfinal matchup with the Bonnies if we make it to AC.

GL BUDDY  WAS HOPING TO GET DOWN TO AC NEXT WEEKEND FOR THE TOURNEY  BUT I CANT GET AWAY.

CrusCrnshw · Answer

I suspect that line (if 9) to drop a point or so. Neither team is playing its best basketball but if this is another low scoring affair, 9 should be solid...

CrusCrnshw · Answer

Im curious as to the line for total A-10 teams to dance...STL and Temple are locked up...my guess is the books put up 2.5 and put the over with some -225 type juice...

CrusCrnshw · Answer

If they defend the 3 better, you are probably right

Frank the Bank · Answer

If your linw predictions are anywhere near the actual lines ill be on all dogs with the exception of Dayton and I might buy that line down alittle bit

CrusCrnshw · Answer

Lines are out, but not in most places but here is what they came out as

#8 Massachusetts vs. #9 Duquense +6.5 149
#5 St. Joseph's vs. #12 Charlotte +9.5 134
#7 La Salle vs. #10 Richmond +7 138
#6 Dayton vs. #11 George Washington +9 135

Pretty close to my guesses of
Massachusetts -5 153
St. Josephs -9 134
La Salle -6.5 143.5
Dayton -9 134

Line have changed some...especially the totals

Surprised La Salle total has now gone to 135. I realize they aren't churning it up like they were, but 135 is a shade low...especially when this is not a 4 games 4 days tournament...teams will have a couple days rest between Friday and now if they are to win

scogan85 · Answer

I would really like to get this thread rolling...I follow the A10 very closely....Id like some input from Crenshaw and Jfen and anyone else knowledgeable....I have been fading GW all year.....I think Dayton was covering last Saturday against them about 60 percent of the game or more and never looked back, so no way I don&#x27;t play them again...even though they know they can put a beat down on them....its the conference tourney, so no room to be complacent.  Do you guys agree?

scogan85 · Answer

Also, I think I saw that Jfen likes Richmond with the points....how do you guys feel about a large ML parlay consisting of Dayton/ Lasalle?  Should pay something like 500 to win 380 or 400?

tmurda666 · Answer

charlotte/ duquense/ george washington/ richmond...

novanation31 · Answer

The A10 is very even this year, but I think Temple is so experienced and has such good guard play that they win the tourney. Their road to the ship will probably be pretty tough if they have to play UMASS, Joes/Bonnies, St. Louis, but I still think they pull it off. Temple is no joke this year.

SalvadorG124 · Answer

Xavier will win this year
