March Madness hits Brooklyn Tuesday when the A10 Championship commences at Barclays Center, with local darling Fordham in the opening game. The tournament runs through Championship Sunday, March 17.
This is the second straight year the A10 is in Brooklyn, as VCU took home the crown in 2023 after they entered the tournament with the No. 1 seed since it won the regular season title. The A10 has been at Barclays Center seven times since it opened in 2013. Saint Louis won that inaugural one, while Saint Joseph's won it in 2014, followed by VCU the next year, and Saint Joseph's again in 2016. It returned in 2019 with Saint Louis winning it, and then it was cancelled after one day in 2020 before its return in 2023.
