Six Games on Wednesday Slate.....UPDATED WITH FINALS

Two weeks from today, the Atlantic 10 Women's Basketball Tournament tips off at the Richmond Coliseum! Six critical games on the docket Wednesday evening as the race for the top four seeds continue, while other teams try to avoid the opening round on Wednesday evening (seeds 11-14).

George Washington 65, VCU 57
Duquesne 58, Richmond 51 (OT)
UMass 60, Davidson 49
Dayton 59, Fordham 45
Saint Joseph's 82, George Mason 61
St. Bonaventure 57, Saint Louis 55

THURSDAY:
La Salle 47, Rhode Island 45....

NOTES:

---As of before Wednesday play, Dayton would be the #2 seed in this year's tournament, while Fordham and Duquesne are fighting for the third seed.

--George Mason enters Philadelphia on an important two-game win streak in the conference, now two full games ahead of the teams currently in the #11-#14 seeds. The Patriots, only in their second year of Atlantic 10 play, were in the lone opening round game of last year's tourney, winning in overtime.

--Saint Joseph's, however, a perennial league power, has fallen on hard times this season and need a win to stay within the top ten of the league tonight against George Mason.

--Tonight could be Richmond's last best chance to keep hope alive for a #4 seed. A win in Pittsburgh over the Dukes would tie the Spiders with Duquesne at 9-4. Couple that with a possible Dayton win at Fordham, and there could be a three-way tie for third by night's end.

--VCU desperately needs a conference win, but must host league leader George Washington. Once 5-3 and fighting in the top five in the conference, the Rams have lost four straight and now are tied for eighth.

--Could Daynia La-Force, in her first season at Rhode Island, be the Atlantic 10 Coach of The Year? A win Thursday at home over La Salle would give the Rams an 8-5 conference mark and the team's 16th win of the season. Rhode Island is currently in sixth place after finishing last year 2-14 in league play (11th place), 7-23 overall after being eliminated in the first round of the 2014 Tournament.
