Welcome to February! We are less than 6 weeks to Selection Sunday, and we have a plethora of tight races around the Atlantic 10, including regular season crown, double byes, single byes, and more! We have three different teams splitting first place votes this week for the first time ever, evidence of just how tight the top of the standings are right now! George Mason retains the #1 spot this week ahead of their absolutely massive game against #2 Saint Joseph’s on Thursday evening at EagleBank Arena in a game that could go a very long way to deciding the regular season title. Elsewhere around the A-10, Richmond will face a tough road test on Wednesday when the Spiders travel to face Rhode Island. George Mason hits the road this weekend with a matchup at Dayton, and Loyola Chicago hosts Davidson in a battle of two teams that have been very very close in the standings for a number of weeks now! We have a fantastic week ahead of us, and folks, this is ONLY February!
