Road to 20 wins

we shall see, playing in Matthews is always tough and this is a good NU team that limits possessions.

Tonight we can clinch 6 with: 

-Towson win OR

-Hofstra win @ JMU, and WM win vs UNCW  OR

-WM win vs UNCW and C of C win vs Elon.

5-Seed with a Towson win and C of C win.

 

Granted not sure how uncw is alive against as if we lose out and they win out we are both 8-10 and 1-1 against each other.  The next tiebreaker would be record against best teams, which we are 1-1 vs c of c to their 0-2.

What if somehow JMU wins out, & finishes 8-10, & we lose our last two, & finish 8-10? Given that they beat us twice head-to-head, would they not finish ahead of us?

[TuTigers2012 1,071]

yes they would.  

worst case scenario--  uncw 2-0, elon 2-1 (Loss to jmu)  jmu 3-0 , towson 0-2, we fall to the 8 seed..

tiebreakers as I understand are head to head and then record vs best team, down the line

if there is a 3 way tie, it goes to head to head vs the other teams you are tied with. (3 way tie would be the worst for us as we are 1-5 ((YIKES)) against UNCW/ELON/JMU
