There were a few big ones late in the Benimon season. Charleston game on Saturday is pretty much sold out already. Must be nice to have enough fans that care Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise, the import of the C of C game, while not irrelevant by any stretch, would lose a great deal of significance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we don’t finish 1st, a 2nd place finish would mean our 1st game would be vs one of the play-in teams, which would be no higher than the 7th seed. At least I think that’s how it works 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We would need to win out 4-0 if we lose tomorrow to get the 2 seed In year 11 with no CAA regular season titles and zero (understatement) postseason success, this is a legacy defining and must win game. Sure, fingers crossed everyone eligible to come back and should be unanimous favorites next year, but can’t take these opportunities for granted. No available excuses left, healthiest been in a while and well rested after last week. Win and we have the inside post to the regular season title. Lose and looking at 3 seed in the brutal 9pm tip vs Charleston/Drexel while Hofstra waltzes into semis vs much easier tribe or phoenix. Old school skerry ball with this team’s talent has got to get the job done in this one. Seahawks have won the rebounding margin just once since they outrebounded us at home. Attack the glass, feed Charles non stop and keep Cam inside the arc. Throw the kitchen sink at Sims with Timberlake, Gray, Nolan and Cam and defend the 3 point line and have to be able to win this against a team who is still getting wins, but not shooting the lights out. Can’t be overstated enough, probably the most important regular season game in history for both regular season and tournament implications. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So if Hofstra wins out (and it sounds like they have a favorable remaining schedule) they finish 14-4. So, we’d have to finish 4-1 in our remaining games to finish ahead of them. If both teams finish 14-4, we have the tiebreak, since we beat them 2X head-to-head. So if we L tomorrow, we likely have no margin for error, in terms of finishing ahead of Hofstra Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
