Even if it isn\u2019t, VCU is the favorite, but with only little more than a one-in-four chance, this event is one of the more wide open tournaments of championship week. <\/p>\n<pre>                       Rd1  Qtrs Semis Final Champ\n 2 VCU                 100   100  69.8  46.9  27.8\n 4 Saint Joseph's      100   100  63.8  37.5  20.4\n 1 Dayton              100   100  67.4  34.0  17.4\n 3 St. Bonaventure     100   100  63.1  26.6  12.3\n 5 George Washington   100  82.2  33.8  16.8   7.8\n 7 Rhode Island        100  74.7  26.3  13.8   6.2\n 6 Davidson            100  67.4  27.9   9.5   3.5\n 9 Richmond            100  60.8  22.1   8.2   3.1\n 8 Fordham             100  39.2  10.5   3.0   0.8\n11 Duquesne           77.3  29.2   8.6   2.1   0.6\n10 Massachusetts       100  25.3   3.8   1.1   0.2\n12 George Mason       59.7  12.0   1.8   0.4   0.06\n13 Saint Louis        40.3   5.8   0.6   0.09  0.008\n14 La Salle           22.7   3.4   0.4   0.04  0.004\n\n<\/pre>\n<p><u><strong>A-10 tourney records (since 1999)<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n<pre>VCU              8- 2\nDayton          22-16\nSaint Joseph\u2019s  20-16\nDavidson         1- 1\nG.
