Atlantic 10

Lead-Pipe Lock: Dayton, VCU

Some Perspiration: None.

Better Double-Up on the Deodorant: Rhode Island

Rhode Island Rams, 21-9 (13-5): Rhody remains in my projected field as of this morning, but they are not very comfortable there. First things first, the Rams need to win their first game, which will likely come against Saint Bonaventure. After that, they will likely have to play top-seeded Dayton. To feel comfortable about making the field as an at-large, Rhode Island should look to defeat Dayton and then fall to VCU in the final. Any other loss would basically nullify a win over Dayton.

Record vs. RPI top-50: 2-4          Record vs. RPI 50-100: 2-3

Current seed: 12     RPI: 42    SOS: 64

Bad losses: vs. La Salle, vs. Fordham
