As of 2/16:

We are currently 9th, and would face Davidson in the first round. We beat them at home in the classic 4 OT game a few weeks back, but the Wildcats are shooting the ball very well and blew out both Fordham and St. Bonaventure last week so not sure it's the ideal first game for us.

The bigger problem is that if we win we would be playing Dayton and it's not exactly a hot take at all that we wouldn't fare well in that contest.

The good news is that we are 4-1 against the teams below us currently, so we aren't at risk of falling too much unless somehow GMU or UMass finish with more conference wins than us (we own both tiebreakers). We only play teams below us two more times this season (Fordham and La Salle) with both contests at home.

Overall, I don't see us moving much from the 9 seed. We only own the tiebreak against Davidson among teams above us, and they have won two more conference games than us as of now. Even if we were to move up to 8th somehow, we would still be playing in the same 8-9 game with the winner playing top seed Dayton.
