We certainly cant argue your dedication to watching hoops, because who in their right mind would go out of their way to watch that lol?

I think it was on TV right before my Dukes.

Tribe can't beat a DI team coming out of exams, and now can't beat DI teams on Senior Day. I smell another automatic DIII game coming to the schedule next year........

Lord I hope they got it out of their systems and are ready to actually buckle down and play Tribe ball the rest of the way out.

Have we at least clinched a bye out of Friday, or is that still in doubt?

Northeastern lost, so we have clinched a first round bye at least.

Hofstra swept you and Towson, so if Hofstra loses both, Hofstra would win a three-way tiebreaker over you and Towson (or an individual tiebreaker against you or Towson). Hofstra, you, Towson, and James Madison cannot have a four-way tie because of remaining games between James Madison and you and between James Madison and Towson. Therefore you can't get a 2 seed. If you, Towson, and College of Charleston tie at 10-8, you will each be 2-2 vs. the other two. In that case, UNC Wilmington would be first and Hofstra would be second. Towson would be 1-1 vs. UNC Wilmington. They're 1-0 vs. UNC Wilmington now, but to finish 10-8 they would lose their last game against UNC Wilmington. You went 1-1 vs. UNC Wilmington, and College of Charleston went 0-2 vs. UNC Wilmington. You and Towson would finish ahead of College of Charleston. You and Towson were both swept by Hofstra. You would be 1-1 vs. James Madison in that case, and Towson would be 0-2, so you would be the four seed. To conclude, you will get the 3, 4, or 5 seed. James Madison, Towson, College of Charleston, and Northeastern are your possible CAA Quarterfinal opponents.

At this point we know the Tribe will play on Saturday against a team that will be good enough for the game to basically be a toss-up. The Tribe will need to win 3 of these type of games to be CAA champ. It isn't going to be easy, but it isn't impossible either.

I've seen imperfect teams have a perfect weekend before, why not the Tribe for a change?

Go Tribe!
