Yes, you're right. So my scenario about what happens after a loss against USCU needs adjusting.
If we lose, and FGCU beats Lipscomb, then we are the 4th seed and get Tuesdays home game against either Lipscomb or UNF.
Our second game would probably be against FGCU in Fort Myers.
We are 1-1 against FGCU, although the result in Fort Myers was less than ideal the first time around.
Mercer meanwhile would open with its second home game against Jacksonville in a 3 day span (since they close the season playing Jacksonville in Macon on Saturday). Not an easy task. Mercer's second game would be at home USCU - who trounced Mercer in Spartanburg, and lost by 2 in overtime in Macon. Again, not an easy task. So Mercer is REALLY rooting for us to knock off USCU.
Thus, if we survive FGCU, we'd get a home game in the Dome for the ASun championship against Jacksonville, or a road game against USCU or Mercer.
Some interesting possibilities even after a loss - though we badly need to go into the tournament playing winning basketball.
