Data shows Dayton dominating both conference and overall performance with a .900 win rate and six consecutive wins. VCU and Richmond are closely trailing with identical 7–3 records, but VCU holds an edge due to more Quadrant 1 victories. Teams below .500 in conference play face uphill battles for postseason consideration.

Key Performance Indicators in A-10 Standings

What Determines Playoff Seeding?

Conference Win Percentage: Primary factor in seeding order
Quadrant 1 Wins: Critical for NCAA Tournament resumes
Net Efficiency (KenPom): Measures offensive and defensive efficiency
Head-to-Head Results: Tiebreaker for teams with equal records
Non-Conference Strength of Schedule: Impacts NET rankings

Postseason Implications and March Madness Outlook

As of early February 2025, Dayton appears poised for an at-large NCAA Tournament bid even if they falter late, thanks to their strong start and Q1 wins. VCU and Richmond are on the bubble, needing strong finishes to secure automatic bids via the A-10 Tournament. Saint Louis and Duquesne remain viable threats but require consistency down the stretch.

The A-10 Tournament will be held March 12–16, 2025, at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. The winner earns an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
