Rooting guide

[GMUYoda]

Dusquene comes back to win and beat UMass

“Rooting” guides are for people who are fans of programs that don’t win.

Bonaventure beats GW by a score of 64-58

Bonaventure beats GW by a score of 64-58

Destiny is no longer in our hands. We will now need help even if we win our remaining games, one of which is agains vcu.

 

[Washingtonian]

vcu survives against Richmond 69-66.

Is Mason mathematically out of a top 4 seeding?

No. There are still a bunch of ways we could get back into 4 or even 3rd, but we have to win last two and hope the stars align.

Current standings:
1. vcu - 14- 2 (clinches 1st with one more win or Davidson loss)
2. Davidson - 12 - 4 (owns tiebreaker over vcu and us)
3. Dayton - 11 - 5 (we own tiebreaker/they have tiebreaker over Davidson)
4. Saint Bonaventure - 11-5 (we split, our head to head tiebreaker with win over Dayton is tenuous)
5. Duquesne - 10 - 6 (they own tiebreaker over us)
6. MASON - 10 - 6
7. St. Louis - 9 - 7

We can finish no higher than 3rd or lower than 7th. If we win out, then we likely only need 2 of Dayton, Duquesne, or SBU to lose one more game each to get back in top 4.

There is a guaranteed loss for Dayton or Duquesne, due to their head to head matchup. IF IF IF we can beat vcu and not poo the bed against GW, we would just need one more loss from SBU or the winner of the Dayton/Duquesne game. Win against vcu clinches head to head tiebreaker over SBU.

If we lose to vcu (or GW for that matter), we can not jump both Duquesne and SBU, without being jumped by SLU, since SLU plays both. With a loss to vcu (or GW for that matter), we need Dayton and SBU to lose both remaining games to still have a shot at top 4.

Lots of games remaining with top 7 teams against each other. Gonna be a crazy finish.

Remaining games:
vcu: @ MASON, Saint Joe's
Dayton: LaSalle, @ Duquesne
Davidson: SBU, @ Richmond
Mason: vcu, @ GW
SBU: @ Davidson, St. Louis
Duquesne: @ SLU, @ Dayton
Saint Louis: Duquesne, @ SBU

What we need from this week's games:
Tuesday: BEAT vcu

Wednesday: La Salle win @ Dayton, SBU lose @ Davidson, Duquesne lose @ SLU

Best case scenario - we jump to 3rd.

We were 7-2 in conference before Joe posted the rooting guide and are 3-4 since. Discuss.

Current standings:
1. vcu - 15- 2 (clinched 1st)
2. Davidson - 12 - 4
3. Dayton - 11 - 5 (we own tiebreaker/they have tiebreaker over Davidson)
4. Saint Bonaventure - 11-5 (we split, our head to head tiebreaker with win over Dayton is tenuous)
5. Duquesne - 10 - 6 (they own tiebreaker over us)
6. MASON - 10 - 7
7. St. Louis - 9 - 7

With loss to vcu, we can not jump both Duquesne and SBU, without being jumped by SLU, since SLU plays both.

We can still finish 4th, but need a lot of help: We need to beat GW, have Dayton and SBU lose both remaining games, and Duquesne win both games. This would put us in a 3 way tie with Dayton and SBU.

3 way tiebreaker is record amongst group, we are 2-1, SBU is 1-2, and Dayton is 1-1. We win group and get 4th spot (with Duquesne in 3rd), Dayton takes 5th and SBU takes 6th (due to head to head loss to Dayton).

Remaining games:
Dayton: LaSalle, @ Duquesne
Davidson: SBU, @ Richmond
Mason: @ GW
SBU: @ Davidson, St. Louis
Duquesne: @ SLU, @ Dayton
Saint Louis: Duquesne, @ SBU

What we need from this week's games:
Wednesday: La Salle win @ Dayton, SBU lose @ Davidson, Duquesne win @ SLU

Fordham beat GW.
Davidson beat Bonaventure.
Dayton beats LaSalle.
UMass beats Richmond.

 

[GMUYoda]

Well Dayton took La Salle to the woodshed tonight... Fordham beat GW and UMass beat Richmond

 

[GMUYoda]

I kind of want the 6 or 7 seed now that I believe we are eliminated from the 4th seed... means we wont have to see vcu at all till title game

 

[GMUYoda]

St. Louis beats Dusquene tonight as well

 

[GMUSig03]

This is what I was thinking after Dayton ended our top 4 hopes

Let's "tank" (we're kinda already doing that) for 6th or 7th!!!

 

[Falco]

I think St Louis win over Duquesene officaly took us out of the top 4 running.

Assuming Mason's beats GW, they will finish one game behind 4th place. The Duquesne game really stings.
