For the coaches and players the only game that matters right now is Nevada tomorrow. We fans can look ahead and at other issues.
After tomorrow's game against Nevada we are off until Fairfield comes to visit on February 24.
Fairfield plays at Wisconsin-Milwaukee tomorrow in the BracketBuster and then at Marist on Monday (2/20) for the make-up game before coming to New Rochelle next Friday (2/24). They finish at Rider on 2/26.
I am betting the Gaels are going to be pumped to beat FF and take the #1 seed.
Guy, how does your mid-major travel theory fit in here?
Go Gaels!!!

With nearly a week in between, I think they'll be fine for WisMil. They may have a tough time regrouping for Marist, which has played well as of late.
As for us, yes, with nearly a week to prepare, we should be more than ready for the Stags.

Interestingly, if FF beats us and both win the remaining conference games. We would be tied after the tie breakers. I believe we go to a coin flip to determine the #1 seed and auto NIT bid. Maybe SID can share some light here.

Maybe SID can share some light here. Given this scenario, if Loyola wins out, there would be a 3 way tie. But as long as Rider stays ahead of Siena in the standings we would prevail over Loyola.

I think In a three way tie, we're in trouble.. Fairfield and Iona would have same record vs. each MAAC opponent... Loyola is 2-0 vs. Siena and Manhattan where FFD and Iona are 1-1 so they would be No. 1 if tiebreaker gets down to that and then a coinflip for 2/3 seed. All teams are 2-0 vs. Rider. Fairfield game is huge. |

And Manhattan can't finish worst than 4th, so they would break the tie.
We need to win the last two.
