Today, Davidson first canceled its Saturday game at St Louis and then canceled its season.  St Louis finishes 9-9.  Davison finishes 8-10, at least in the A10 standings.  School said NCAA won't count the 3 forfeits, but that doesn't matter for the A-10 tournament.  Theoretically Loyola Chicago and Fordham could finish at 8 - 10 with Saturday losses.  I don't know how they would figure out the tiebreakers, if needed.

A-10 can handle the seedings and games a couple of ways.  Do they count Davidson as a first round forfeit, possibly advancing St Bonaventure to the second round?  Or do they slide out Davidson and move up the bottom teams a slot, maybe only playing 2 game:s on Wednesday: 11 V 14 and 12 V 13. 

This could effect when GW plays and who.  I got a headache trying to figure it out so I gave up.  

Hopefully the conference will have figured out  the brackets/schedule right after the Saturday games.  TV announcers on ESPN+ should be able to talk about the possibilities.  Stay tuned.
