If we can sweep ODU, do we need FAU to lose a game to WKU to clinch 2nd place for the tournament?

FAU loss or a cancellation would do it if Tech wins two more.

Given that FAU is going to win tonight (15-1 FAU in the 7th), two more FAU wins clinch second for the Owls by percentage points.

Thank you. It was confusing to me because they have that tied game with Rice.

Whatever seed we are, we have to win that first game. I think this team will be ready. I'm glad they were able to play in the Frisco Classic earlier this year. I think that experience will help them in the tournament. First thing first though, must sweep ODU!

There isn't a lot of difference between the 2 and 3 seed, so we just need to win!!!!!!!!!

Right. There is a possible advantage to being 3 and facing USM before the finals.

The only difference between 2 and 3 is being guaranteed choice of being home or away in the Thursday game if we win the Wednesday game. We would not play USM either way before the finals.

There is still a mathematical chance that Charlotte catches us in the standings and makes us the 4 seed, so I’m not counting my chickens just yet.

[champion110]

Just complete the sweep right now!

My bad. I see that now. I'd rather play them in the finals than FAU. Hostile crowds don't seem to bother our guys.

You are correct. We have done pretty well on the road this year. It is the one year, I am glad we can't host the tournament.

[rlirette]

So we don't actually know that those pairings are paired with those times right? 2 seed would get to choose when they would play, then 3 seed, and then 4 seed would get stuck with whatever is left?

4 seed will play after USM.
2 probably gets dibs on morning times

Alright, trying to come up with some semblance of a plan for Biloxi but it's tough when you don't know what time your games will be.
