Jan. 20th Bubble Watch: Atlantic 10

Bubble Watch A10: Near Locks for the Tournament Davidson: 15-2 overall, 5-0 conference, The metrics: NET #36, KenPom #42, 2-1 Q1, 1-1 Q2, 5-0 Q3, 6-0 Q4 -         Best Win: Alabama (neutral) -         Worst Loss: New Mexico State (neutral) -         Making a case: Davidson has no bad losses, a top 15 offensive efficiency (KenPom), and no hiccups in conference play so far. -         Case for the couch: none right now, but the A10 is deeper than most people realize.

They have lost multiple games where they didn’t show up to play (@ Georgia, @ Tulane, @ East Carolina, vs Iowa St.) They lack consistenc
