Atlantic 10 Tournament 2015: Bracket, schedule and scores

VCU routed top seed Davidson to advance to the A-10 title game.

The Atlantic-10 Tournament tips off on Wednesday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. The tournament spans five days and will go all the way up to Selection Sunday. With no clear-cut favorite, there should be plenty of drama and bubble intrigue in the final hours leading up to the committee's decision.

VCU had been cruising at the top for most of the year, but a career-ending injury to star defender Briante Weber threatens to derail their season. The Rams have gone just 5-5 since Weber's injury and fell from the No. 1 seed all the way to No. 5, missing out on a double bye. They're still a lock for the NCAA Tournament, but Shaka Smart will have to pull out some extra magic if he wants to get past the first weekend.

Davidson soared to the top seed after starting February squarely in the bubble picture. They're not quite safe yet, but a couple solid wins this week should do the trick. Dayton is close to a lock. Rhode Island and Richmond are still on the outside looking in, but both teams have the quality to make deep runs and give the committee something to think about. Even also-rans like UMass, St. Bonaventure, George Washington and La Salle have proven dangerous over the season.

With so many storylines and Big Dance implications, this promises to be the most fascinating conference tournament.
