Wouldn't OR losing be the most helpful? As unlikely as it might be. |

OR has a loophole that even if they lose today, the team they play is new to D1 and can't dance, and if that team then wins in the finals, OR goes because their rule is the reg season champ goes if the new team wins the tourney.
For the CAA, best case is of course if both Hofstra and CoC lose, but Hofstra and Iona are virtually equals and CoC is rated way ahead of us, FWIW.

Thanks, was kinda what I was thinking, but, I guess if OR loses and then St. Thomas loses the final that might be a good thing for Iona. |

And watching tonight I also am reminded this the pinnacle night for mid major basketball. Every mid major league should be shooting to play their championship tonight. Only an imbecile (s) would move their tourney out of this spot!!! |
