The A-10 Tournament Champion is gearing up to be a two-horse race, with Loyola Chicago making a recent surge. Below, we’ll look at the two teams we think have the best chance of winning it.
IIt’s hard to deny Dayton. This season, they’re 21-4 overall with an 11-2 conference record and are untouchable at home at 13-0.
Where they excel is defensively. This season, they’re 12th in the nation, allowing just 64.3 points per game. Opponents only shoot 40.8% against them from the floor and 30.8% from beyond the arch.
DaRon Holmes II is arguably their best player, averaging 20 points, eight rebounds, 2.2 blocks, and 2.5 assists per game.
Dayton was almost there last year but lost to VCU 68-56.
This year, with excellent defense and their solid 47.6% shooting percentage from the floor, along with Holmes II, they’re in good shape.
Of course, seeing someone else step up and assist Holmes would be excellent. The next best scorer is Nate Santos. He averages 12.1 per game in addition to 6.6 rebounds.

While Dayton excels defensively, Richmond is even better in some ways. They hold teams to 65.5 points per game (24th), 39.5% shooting percentage from the floor (seventh), and 30.3% from three-point range.
The problem for Richmond against Dayton is they don’t exactly have a Holmes II to look to. Jordan King averages 18.7 points per game, but his rebounds and block numbers pale in comparison at 4.1 boards and no blocks.
Richmond averages 6.9 steals per game, which is better than Dayton.
This matchup could come down to the final few buckets, as both team's defenses are potent and have similar offensive output.
