Update: The 2026 Men’s Atlantic-10 Tournament has whittled down to eight teams. St. Bonaventure, the No. 13 seed, is making waves with a Cinderella story, having recently pulled off consecutive victories, including an impressive win over the fifth-seeded George Mason on Friday. They’re now set to face off in the quarterfinals alongside the four top-seeded teams that earned byes, plus No. 9 George Washington, No. 7 Duquesne, and No. 6 Davidson.
The Atlantic-10 conference typically sends multiple teams to the NCAA Tournament, though last year only VCU qualified after winning the conference tournament. This season, St. Louis stands out as a dominant force. They’re expected to claim an at-large bid regardless of the outcome in their upcoming games. But, one has to wonder—can anyone dethrone the Billikens and potentially allow for multiple teams from the A-10 to enter the tournament?
St. Louis posted a strong record of 15-3 in conference play this year, boasting an impressive, fast-paced offense that shot 41% from beyond the arc. Robby Avila, their senior center, has all the potential to become a standout this March. Yet, there are a number of teams eager to disrupt the Billikens’ rhythm during the tournament. VCU is enjoying success under new head coach Phil Martelli Jr., who has made strides since leaving Bryant. His father, a coaching legend at St. Joe’s, has seen the Hawks rise to prominence, entering the conference tournament with a six-game winning streak. Other teams—like Dayton, George Mason, and Davidson—might also be dreaming of a similar underdog journey.
The full schedule for the A-10 tournament is detailed below. Updates will follow as games conclude.
