Mayhem Potential
Data originally posted by Bob Vetrone Jr. on Twitterin 2020 with my own additions for the seasons beyond.
The Atlantic 10 Tournament has a reputation for being one of the most unpredictable ones out there. However, the 2 seed has been shut out since the NCAA field expanded to 68 in 2011. In 2025, George Mason was unable to break the streak, but VCU—the very team that topped the Patriots in OT last March gets its own chance in 2026. Note that the 2024 final featured the 5 and 6 seeds.
- 1 seed (4): 2013, 2021, 2023, 2025
- 4 seed (4): 2012, 2014, 2016, 2017
- 6 seed (3): 2019, 2022, 2024
- 3 seed (2): 2011, 2018
- 5 seed (1): 2015
NCAA Bid Totals In The 68-Team Era
- 6 bids (1): 2014 (4-6 record, 13 teams)
- 5 bids (1): 2013 (7-5 record, 16 teams)
- 4 bids (1): 2012 (3-4 record, 14 teams)
- 3 bids (5): 2011 (3-3 record, 14 teams), 2015 (2-3, 14), 2016 (2-3, 14), 2017 (1-3, 14), 2018 (2-3, 14)
- 2 bids (4): 2019 (0-2 record, 14 teams), 2021 (0-1, 14), 2022 (1-2, 14), 2024 (2-2, 15)
- 1 bid (2): 2023 (0-1 record, 15 teams), 2025 (0-1, 15)
The Atlantic 10 has only placed a pair of teams in three of the last five NCAA Tournaments that have been played. Making matters worse, VCU was unable to play its game against Oregon in 2021 due to COVID issues. With the quality of the bubble in 2026, the Rams should join Saint Louis in the field, with a third bid possible with some upsets.

Fordham, George Mason, La Salle, and Loyola Chicago are the only current Atlantic 10 members that have not won the conference tournament. Dayton last won in 2003, though the Flyers would have been favored had the 2020 event taken place, since they were a likely No. 1 NCAA seed.
