 The Battle for Sixth Place
Today's win was very big for us in that we were able to jump Charlotte and get closer to our ceiling for this year, the 6-seed. In addition, La Tech beat Old Dominion, placing us only 1 game out of sixth place and owning the head-to-head tiebreaker should it become a factor.
The race for 6th with games remaining:
ODU 7-6 (vs Marshall, @Charlotte, vs ECU)
Tulane 7-6 (vs FAU, @FIU, vs USM)
UAB 6-7 (@Rice, vs La Tech, vs MT)
Charlotte 5-8 (@ECU, vs ODU, @Marshall)
North Texas 5-8 (@UTSA, vs UTEP, vs Tulsa)
FAU 5-8 (@Tulane, vs USM, vs FIU)
A 2-1 finish for the Blazers will likely clinch a Top 9 finish, giving us one less game to play. ODU controls its own destiny here and has a manageable schedule, while the Blazers still must face two Top 5 teams.
