Some CAA Tourney Previewing
Posted by TTHS on February 1st, 2007
From the view of the Tribe.
Right now, the worst spot we can really get is 8th. GSU has 4 wins in 9th place, but we hold the advantage against them. Right now we are in 7th, tied with NU with whom we hold the tiebreaker. Towson is a game + the tie ahead of us in 6th, so I’ll give some projected final standings.
W&M
Current=5-7
Next 6=UNCW, @UNCW, @JMU, @Drexel, Drexel, ODU
Projected finish=3-3
Projected final record=8-10
Towson
Current=6-6
Next 6=@ Drexel, @ Northeastern, @ ODU, GSU, Drexel, JMU
Projected finish=2-4
Projected final record=8-10(plus tie)
Northeastern
Current=5-7
Next 6=@ Hofstra, Towson, @JMU, @GSU, @UD, GMU
Projected finish=3-3
Projected final record=8-10(no tie)
So pretty much, we need NU to finish at 8-10 and either Towson to get upset by GSU/JMU, or the Tribe to pull one against Drexel(twice) or ODU at home on senior day. Looks like it may be a 7th place finish this year, facing #10 seed in the first round and #2 seed in the second.

Towson’s been playing well lately — I’m guessing they’ll be able to beat Northeastern even though the remaining game is on the road. That would give them a 3-3 finish (assuming wins at home over GSU and JMU).
NU could still finish 3-3 as well, but would probably need road wins at GSU, JMU and UD to do it. Tough, but certainly doable.
As for the Tribe, I’d obviously love to see them finish 3-3, but the JMU game leaves me wondering if they’ll manage sweeps of both JMU and the Dub. Keeping my fingers crossed.
