Despite a No. 3 seed, Dayton and Nate Santos will be favorites to win the Atlantic 10 Tournament this weekend.

As a 15-team league, the Tournament setup is fairly complicated. The top nine teams from the A-10s regular season are given byes to the second round, with the top four teams getting double-byes. The league's top four teams (Richmond, Loyola Chicago, Dayton and UMass) won't play until Thursday.

This is a single-elimination tournament and the winner is guaranteed an NCAA Tournament spot. Last season, only the champion made the NCAA field. But in most years, at least one and often two more teams make the NCAA Tournament. In 2014, six A-10 teams reached the Big Dance.

Dayton is currently projected to be in the NCAA field, with Richmond as a bubble team. No other A-10 teams are receiving significant NCAA Tournament attention.
