2020 Atlantic-10 Tournament Predictions

Here are my predictions for the 2020 Atlantic-10 Tournament. The tournament will be held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

First Round
3/11- (13) Saint Joseph's (6-25; 2-16) vs (12) George Mason (16-15; 5-13)- 1:00, ESPN+
Prediction: George Mason

3/11- (14) Fordham (8-22; 2-16) vs (11) George Washington (12-19; 6-12)- 3:30, ESPN+
Prediction: George Washington

Second Round
3/12- (9) VCU (18-13; 8-10) vs (8) Massachusetts (14-17; 8-10)- 12:00, NBCSN
Prediction: VCU

3/12- (12) George Mason vs (5) St. Bonaventure (19-12; 11-7)- 2:30, NBCSN
Prediction: St. Bonaventure

3/12- (10) La Salle (15-15; 6-12) vs (7) Davidson (16-14; 10-8)- 6:00, NBCSN
Prediction: Davidson

3/12- (11) George Washington vs (6) Duquesne (21-9; 11-7)- 8:30, NBCSN
Prediction: Duquesne

Quarterfinals
3/13- (9) VCU vs (1) Dayton (29-2; 18-0)- 12:00, NBCSN: The Rams have massively underachieved this season and their disappointing season will come to an end against a Flyers team that's had the best regular season for an A-10 team in a long time.
Prediction: Dayton

3/13- (5) St. Bonaventure vs (4) Saint Louis (23-8; 12-6)- 2:30, NBCSN: This should be a good game here, but the better team is the Billikens.
Prediction: Saint Louis

3/13- (7) Davidson vs (2) Richmond (24-7; 14-4)- 7:00, NBCSN: The Wildcats are a talented team led by Kellan Grady and Jon Axel Guðmundsson and I think have a chance here, but I'm going to roll with the Spiders here to advance.
Prediction: Richmond

3/13- (6) Duquesne vs (3) Rhode Island (21-9; 13-5)- 9:30, NBCSN: This is another solid game in the quarters. The Rams are the better team led by Fatts Russell.
Prediction: Rhode Island

Semifinals
3/14- (4) Saint Louis vs (1) Dayton- 1:00, CBSSN: The Billikens do have a chance here with Jordan Goodwin and Javonte Perkins leading the way, but the National Player of the Year favorite in Obi Toppin is on the other side and he'll lead the Flyers to the conference championship.
Prediction: Dayton

3/14- (3) Rhode Island vs (2) Richmond- 3:30, CBSSN: This is another good game between two very good teams in this conference. Russell will keep the Rams in this game but I see Blake Francis leading the Spiders to the title game.
Prediction: Richmond

Championship
3/15- (2) Richmond vs (1) Dayton- 1:00, CBS: This should be a fun title game between two of the best in this conference. Toppin is obviously the best player in this game as he'll lead the Flyers to the conference tournament title and a possible one-seed in the Big Dance as the Spides have to sweat it out on Selection Sunday.
Prediction: Dayton
