The Atlantic 10 is known for being full of surprises and this season is no exception. Saint Louis shared the regular-season championship in this conference with VCU, something that was not expected at all going into the year. These are the two favorites to win this tournament, but Saint Louis wavered a bit late in the regular season and will try to get back on track to avoid being sent home early in this event.
Along with Saint Louis and VCU, teams like Dayton and Saint Joseph's are not to be counted out here. Dayton is especially interesting going into A-10 Tournament play, as they have been synonymous with postseason success out of this conference in recent years. In a league where no team has been able to grab a firm grip on the conference title year after year, Dayton could claim their first conference title since 2003, or we could see someone else from further down the odds list get the job done.
This tournament will also be huge for the fate of this conference as it pertains to the NCAA Tournament. The Atlantic 10 is a two-bid league according to ESPN's Joe Lunardi going into conference tournament week in the big conferences. But the status of VCU could change dramatically based on how they play and how other teams play over the next few days.
The A-10 is a 15-team conference that has had eight different tournament winners over the last nine seasons. VCU is the only consistent in this conference as they have made the final nine of the past 12 seasons, winning it on two occasions. For those who like to look for longshot value in conference championship futures markets, this might be the best conference in which to do so, given its recent unpredictability.
