Has the tie breaker changed now that we lost to the citadel? Could we win this and get the one seed regardless of Sunday?

I dont think there is any way we could lose Sunday against Furman and still get the one seed. Depending on what Mercer does I think there is a chance they could get the 4th seed and that would give us the tie breaker if we lost to wofford but beat Furman. I dont know for sure though.
The only certainty is that if we win both games, we are outright regular season champion.
Assuming UNCG wins both of their games (which is highly likely)...
I think this is the scenario.....
If we lose both games, we finish second.
If we lose to Furman but beat Wofford, we finish tied and UNCG wins tie breaker by having better record vs third place team.
If we beat Furman, but lose to Wofford, then we are tied and both have swept third place Furman. Tie breaker then depends upon how Wofford finishes in regard to a hot Mercer team. Mercer is one game back of Wofford, but they play to finish the season. If Mercer is ahead of Wofford in the final standings, then we have a sweep vs Bob and his Bears but UNCG a split. I have no idea how they resolve it if Wofford and Mercer are themselves tied for fourth place. The order of operations isn't stated on the website I have seen. Do you solve first place first or do you solve fourth place first? It makes a difference.
I could be wrong.

Yep, I believe you are correct. These are the likely scenarios.
The most important game of the season. Must win. Of course, I will say the same thing before Sunday if we are able to beat Wofford.
Didn't we figure out last year though that in the event of a tie there is no automatic bid to the NIT? At this point I don't see us getting an at-large bid to the NIT if we don't have the auto bid.

if there's a tie, the team that goes the farthest in the tournament gets the auto bid. If both advance to the same round in the tournament, highest seed gets the NIT auto.
Disappointed we have to be having this discussion.

Good thing is that if they win the next 2 and then blow through the Socon tournament you will never remember the past 2 weeks. We'll remember it as the best season since 03-04
What's the deal with the "Star Wars" tie-in? Does that seem odd to you all? Why not tie-in with the Indy 500, St. Patrick's Day, or the Grand Canyon? Maybe I'm missing something.....

It's certainly got my nephew's boys fired up (ages 7 and 9). They'll be there in full regalia.
Also, may the force be with us.
Magee looks like he'd be a full-on star wars nerd
The game's gonna be a sellout, so obviously it worked. Either that, or people want a sexiest coach bobblehead.
I heard that there will only be 1,000 bobble heads to give away. Better get there early.
Star Wars is so damn stupid. Should just be bobble head night dang it. Imma push some nerds over. Star wars nerds smh.
(sarcasm)(maybe)
Anyone heard anything about Desonta’s status?
