Drexel has not clinched the 3. If we win, they lose, and UNCW wins, UNCW will be tied with Drexel. They split, and UNCW would win the tiebreaker from a better record against Charleston. If we lose, they lose, and UNCW wins, there will be a three-way tie. We are 2-1 against Drexel and UNCW, Drexel is 2-2 against us and UNCW, and UNCW is 1-2 against Drexel and us, so that would make Drexel the 3 seed. If UNCW and us win, Drexel will go into their game needing a win for the 3, and a loss would give them the 4. If UNCW and/or us lose, Drexel will clinch at least the 3 before they play.dutchPride86 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 29, 2024 10:24 pm By virtue of tonight's results Hofstra and Drexel should have clinched the 2 and 3 seeds. Only question for Saturday is which finishes where. But Hofstra will be able to avoid both Charleston or UNCW until a potential conference title game. Just a gigantic swing of events tonight
Not quite at that level but really good.stuball888 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 29, 2024 10:40 pm defense reminds me of the 2019 season

We all would have signed up for a split of these 2 games.
We win the first and are now playing with house money
Let go to Charleston on Saturday and make a BIG statement
Lol. We should be fair here and give Hofstra a bunch of credit for putting themselves in the position they're in because I know for sure that we would all be destroying them here if they had just done what UNCW did - losing 3 of 4, favorites in all 3 losses, with 2 of those at home - to fall from 2nd to 5th.dutchPride86 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 29, 2024 11:50 pm Evan good catch on Drexel thanks. Maybe Hofstra should lose the Charleston game on purpose to lock UNCW into the 4 seed or worse then (95% kidding).
It would be hard for anyone to win ONE game in DC without any bench points. Fortunately, that's only happened twice this season and it's good that they're 2-0 in those games.
Dubar - has all the tools in a tool box - I always said he was our best player - and still believe that - if he could be more consistent and go to the hoop more he'd be one of the all-time greats here - his size athleticism and ability on both ends of the court make him a stud!triplec2195 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 29, 2024 10:35 pm D-Stone just loving the N.C. air. We need to play more games there!
This of course appears to be true Jojo, but hopefully this makes you feel better- take a look back at our 2020 championship team and you will see the starters carried us all 3 games. The bench scored a grand total of 2 pts in 3 days. So it can be done this way. The big 3 this year have to carry the team and they are more than capable. Plotnikov as the 4th option has been a key, the team has been winning since he was inserted into the starting lineup. If he can stay out of foul trouble along with Fritz, then the starting 5 has what it takes to win the tourney. Nobody scares me in this league this year, so if our starters bring their A game for 3 straight days, they have a great shot of taking the whole thing.
Actually, I meant to list it in order, by year: 8-2, 8-0, 8-1.
