Atlantic 10 Tournament 2012 Bracket: Seeds, Odds, Preview and More

As college basketball fanatics, what have we learned from the past few years during March Madness?

Does George Mason ring a bell? What about Butler, VCU or Davidson?

Those are just a few mid-majors who have gone on to shock the entire college basketball world.

One of the greatest aspects of this tournament is the fact that anybody can take the title back to campus, well maybe not the 16 seeds, but you get my point.
