Monmouth is in 3rd at 10-6. They have the tie breaker against us.(beat us twice). Rider is tied with us at 9-8.We have the tie breaker against them for the 4/5 seed. Would be VERY tough to finish above Monmouth in the standings, but 3rd place is significantly better than the 4/5. The question is Monmouth vs Rider tonight? Who do we root for? I say root for Rider. I am more concerned with 5th place than 3rd. The race is still too tight for 5th. The team is red hot but a loss tomorrow could have Iona out of the top 5 since Niagara would own the tiebreaker

Put Rider behind us and solidify finishing in the top 5?

Believe scenarios are as follows IF we win out:
2nd place: Monmouth loses out, SPU loses to Canisius, Rider wins out 3rd Place: SPU loses to Canisius, Rider wins out 4th Place: SPU beats Canisius

Who most likely are we facing in the tournament? Too early to tell. But I feel our tournament really begins Wednesday. We cannot lose another game until Kansas or Baylor.

At this point we need to win out and have Rider and Manhattan drop at least one game to ensure a 5th seed.

I am begging for not one post about how Iona is going to win out. Always leads to a disaster when the posts pop up. From the team to the fan base we all know the deal. Have to win the last 2 games and need plenty of help for top 5. One game at a time beginning today with scoreboard watching and hoping for some help.
BTW, the last thing I wanted to see was Rigoni hit that three for QPAC to win that game. They were dead and buried as a team and now will come into the HAC off a exciting win just adding to the motivation after Iona embarrassed them

Loss helps but need the other 2 to lose more. Niag virtually up a game on us with the sweep and Jaspers have tiebreaker because they beat Siena.

So if Niagara wins out and Rider and Manhattan each drop a game, don’t we get in as the 5 seed with Niagara being the 4 seed?
