Spiders just knocked off #10 UVA. Gave up a three goal lead in the final minutes but Tierney put one home in the second OT for the 16–15 win.

Looks like the Spiders' RPI will rise from 30 to 22 after handling a decent Davidson squad this weekend.

Unfortunately, they wrap up the regular season against Duquesne, which is ranked 113rd out of 126. (Somehow there are two A-10 teams ranked even lower than Duquesne...La Salle at 115 and Mason at 116.)

So, who replaces Villanova? Richmond.

The Spiders are back in our field of 29. The yo-yo team of our weekly bracketology is in mainly because the computers say so. Richmond bolted eight spots to No. 22 in the RPI. At that level, with a win over Virginia in their back pocket, the Spiders have a path to an at-large bid. However, anything less than a run to the Atlantic 10 final will dash those hopes — let alone a bid thief from another league.

Spiders drub a bad Duquesne team, 20–4. That’s about all they could do to try to keep their RPI up.

Locked up the #2 seed for the A-10 tourney.
