Feels like winning at Conte didn't happen a lot the last few years. Its nice to get one. Gotta show up tomorrow night against a BC team that is watching their NCAA bid slip away

Re: 2016/2016 Lowell Thread: Hoping for Chicago

If my math is correct...if we take 3 points this weekend vs BC, we will be locked in as the 3 seed. We will not be able to move any higher or lower based on the tie breakers.

Jim Connelly just said if Lowell ties tomorrow they can't finish worse than 4th. He didn't explain the scenario that gets them 4th.

BU and ND tie twice. That makes the standings:

BC 30
BU 29
ND 28
Lowell 28

Obviously if ND loses one they fall behind Lowell. Same if BU loses both. Then ND would jump to 2nd, Lowell 3rd and BU 4th.

First tiebreaker is head-to-head and that's even. Don't know after that...but this is the only scenario I can come up with where Lowell is 4th. Even if Providence wins two, they can't get more than 27.

I think he was just saying that if they get a tie tomorrow they clinch a bye, because a tie tomorrow actually guarantees they'll be no worse than 3rd. A win tomorrow guarantees they'll be no worse than 2nd.

BC and UML ties. ND takes 3 from BU.

BU and UML would be tied for 3rd. BU would be 3rd seed and Lowell 4th from the third tiebreaker, record against #1 seed team. BU is 2-0 vs BC, UML would be 1-0-1 vs BC.

Lowell would take that on tie-breaker #2 - most league wins.

True, getting too late and too much calculating going on! I was thinking both would have 13, but that was when I had BU/ND splitting. Not ND taking 3.

So if UML gets one more point, I don't see a scenario where they are 4th seed?
