Bubble Watch

Locks: None

In as of now: St. Bonaventure (10), VCU (11)

Both of these teams are on the right side of the bubble as of today despite losses to end the year, but there is still some work to be done. Neither team has a surefire NCAA Tournament resume, but a trip to the A10 title game would certainly be enough for either to make the field. Lose before that and things might get dicey depending on who the loss comes to, but my inclination would be that as long as a truly terrible loss is avoided, both teams should make the field.

Wrong side of bubble: Saint Louis (First Four Out), Richmond (Next Four Out)

For both of these teams, a trip to the A10 title game and the win over St. Bonaventure that would come with it is a must to make the NCAA Tournament field, and even that might not be enough for Richmond, a team reeling as of late.

Needs Auto-bid: Davidson, Massachusetts, George Mason, Dayton, Duquesne, Rhode Island, George Washington, La Salle, Saint Joseph’s, Fordham
