Congrats to Union and RIT, really shows the strength of the LL. SLU however must be fuming seeing Union make the finals as they handily beat them in Schenectady in the LL semis but ended up on the much tougher side of the bracket. Obviously they had their shot at making the title themselves but they must have liked their chances better had they been on the Union side of the bracket.
Why exactly should SLU be fuming? Because they beat them in one game? Please.
Union got seeded higher because they beat SJF (who SLU lost to by 10), lost to RIT by 1 (who SLU lost to twice by 8), and also beat Tufts. Teams don't get seeded over the results of 1 game, but rather their body of work. And Union just beat #5 York, who took down #3 CNU. Was the Tufts/RIT side of the bracket harder? Yes. But SLU didn't even get there, didn't beat Bowdoin. I like SLU, and hoped they would go farther, as I do with all Liberty teams. But they certainly didn't get treated unfairly.
