NCAA Tournament "at large" candidate University of Richmond Women

[spiderstudent17]

Updated ESPN bracket has us as an at large at 9 seed facing Illinois in South Carolina region. George Mason has current AQ and is 12 seed. St. Joe’s is 2nd team out. So maybe with a George Mason win tomorrow, A10 will sneak with 3 bids, but most likely will be 2 bids.

Women's Bracketology: The bubble is shrinking as A-10 becomes two-bid league

Richmond's loss in the semifinals Saturday means the Atlantic 10 will get two teams in the NCAA tournament. And Virginia Tech is now on the wrong side of the bubble.

Coach Roussell reposted this tweet...which is fine...tho we don't even need politicking imo because we r 100%...but perhaps a good reminder for those who don't realize it

There is a 0% chance we aren't in the tournament. Ridiculous to even entertain any thought to the contrary.

NET unchanged at 33 with the loss. Joe's up one spot to 52. Mason steady at 45 with their win.

With 21 votes in this week’s AP poll and essentially the 27th best team in the country, if we win the A10 tournament, there is a very good chance we will be in the top 25 going into post-season play. If that’s the case, I would think being a 7 seed isn’t out of the question.

I was hoping for a 6 seed if we won the A10 tourny. Seemed reasonable since we were already receiving votes for the top 25, putting us 27.

Would be ridiculous to go from that scenario to out with one loss to a very good team.

Hoping for an 11 (even though we definitely earned better, just like the idea of playin a 6 and then maybe a 3). 10 seed would be ok too, but don't want an 8/9. This team is good enough to make sweet 16 or better, much tougher road as an 8/9, though.

No votes in the AP poll this week. Mason didn't get any either. Fairfield still has 2.

Agreed. Hoping we get bumped to a 10 with the loss. Much better than a 9, having to play a 1 in round 2. 11 is the sweet spot for sure, but I don't think we drop that far.
