March Madness is on the horizon, but before we get to the Big Dance, we have to get through many conference dances.
The Atlantic 10’s men’s basketball tournament will run from March 11 through March 15, with the championship on Sunday, March 15. The final game of the tournament will grant the winner an automatic bid into the 2026 men’s NCAA Tournament, with the Selection Sunday show happening a few hours after the game.
Saint Louis enters the tournament as the No. 1 seed in the conference. The way that the bracket is laid out, the Billikens will have to win just three games to win the championship, having a bye through the first two rounds.
The fun of March comes from whether or not a break helps or hurts a team while others build momentum. Regardless, Saint Louis will have a target on its back as an Atlantic-10 conference tournament champion is crowned.
