Since expansion of the NCAA tournament to 64+ teams, only seven schools without FBS football have been No. 1 seeds, including tonight's Jimmy V opponents, Villanova and Gonzaga, last year. The full list: Nova (2006, 2015, 2017); Georgetown (1985, 1987, 1989), Gonzaga (2013, 2017); St. John's (1985, 1986); Wichita State (2014); Saint Joseph's (2004); and UMass (1996).

Here's another one for you: Saint Joseph's lost its 4th, yes fourth player to an injury when Lamarr Kimble went down after the UMass game Saturday. That's the Hawks two top scorers done after Shavar Newkirk was lost for the season. So that's one main reason why the Hawks are 10-14 overall and 3-9 in the A-10 instead of challenging near the top. Injuries can derail a season. It happens. Not a mystery here.
VCU and Dayton are the favorites to win the A-10, but there isn't a lock for the NCAA tournament just yet for any team in the league.
Shavar Newkirk, who was averaging a team-best 20.3 points for 8-5 Saint Joseph's, is done for the season because of a torn ACL.
