Then there’s Rhode Island, which could make this exercise a little easier and just win the Atlantic 10 on Sunday. So the guess is Providence, Southern California and Rhode Island are all headed to Dayton, unless Rhode Island wins the Atlantic 10 and gets into the main draw. Ultimately, West Virginia’s road wins (Virginia, Iowa State, Oklahoma State) helped give it the nod. … South Carolina will be rooting hard for VCU aginst Rhode Island in the A-10 final. A Rhode Island win might just bump the fading Gamecocks into a slot in Dayton.
