AE Tourney Seedings

[Oldtimer]

After todays Maine/Bing game, it looks like Albany/Bing on Saturday, March 5th unless Albany and BU defeat Norteastern and UA wins the tie breaker. With a good effort in the last 6 games(less the scenerio above), UA should be #4 and Bing will improve to #5. Bing has only Albany and cupcakes left. Maine and UMBC have Albany and the top three left.

I wouldn't call BU a cupcake; Bing still has to play them; but I do agree with your analysis. This would be the exact situation the women faced last year, being a 4 seed and the 5 seed being the host school.

[Dane Pound]

Not a great scenario if it plays out. Danes at Bing in front of 5,000 mostly Bearcats fans for the opening game of the tourney. Still alot of things that can happen between now and then and UMBC is also in the mix although they have a few tough games as well. Danes can help their own cause by hanging another L on the Bearcats on Weds.

Now, that I think about it. Bring on the Bearcats in the tourney. It would be an electric environment. Nothing would make me happier than defeating the host team, ending their season and sending 5,000 people home unhappy. End the Nick Billings era. I am sure UAlbany would be allotted seats or a section for the game (anywheres from 500-1,000).

 

A victory on Wednesday would prepare us for this situation if it occurs at the tourney.

Let's ensure finishing fourth; not to look too far ahead, but regardless of who we play in the quarters, it'd be better to face Vermont in the semis in Vestal than in the finals at Patrick Gym.

It's up to the Danes to take care of business the rest of the way.

 

Finishing fourth would mean we had an excellent season!!!!

 

Let's remember the trials and tribulations we've gone through (as a DI Hoops program) so each step forward lets remember to "Seize the Moment" - enjoy it with a smile and prepare to move forward hopefully to bigger and better things.

 

The tourney will take care of its self, but I would think it would be advantageous to play Vermont in Binghamton rather than at Patrick in Vermont.

 

But we can't put the cart in front of the horse.

 

I feel we are still a work in progress!!!! Which is good!

[statefan]

I believe that one Danes victory or one Maine loss clinches a 4-5 game appearance.

[reeder]

I think that it doesn't matter to us fans whether they are 4th or 5th. I do think it will matter to the players. They need to play well in their last 3 games to secure the 4th seed.

 

Either way, they will probably be in the same bracket as Binghamton and Vermont.

[AlbanyObserver]

That would be a hell of a quarterfinal game > Binghamton vs. Albany. A sold-out crowd. I am sure the Danes will have revenge on their minds since they were embarrassed there several weeks ago. Plus, if we were to win that one, I would love to have one more crack at the Catamounts before their dynasty crumbles after this season
