Another week of A-10 play is in the books, and we are starting to see some real separation in the standings, as Richmond, Davidson, Saint Joseph’s, George Mason, Fordham and Dayton have begun to separate themselves from the field. VCU and Rhode Island have hit some speed bumps and find themselves in the middle of the pack, while Saint Louis, GW, La Salle and St. Bonaventure seem to have cemented their bottom-four spots already.
We’ve got a big week on tap, as Davidson travels to George Mason on Wednesday in what is arguably the most important home game remaining for the Patriots. The Weekend slate of games is highlighted by a battle at UD Arena as the Flyers host Richmond in a game that could truly announce Dayton’s return to prominence to the rest of the Atlantic 10. On the flip side, a Spider victory could further Richmond’s stranglehold on first place in the standings. All of that said, let’s see how all 15 teams stack up in this week’s power rankings:
