I think this is a very real possibility - Conn will have to show up though.SaltCounty wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2024 10:41 amConn has a path to the 8 seed; and one in which they control / need no help from others.
They need to beat Trinity OR Wesleyan.
They get Trinity at home which I'm sure helps some.
Since Coach Nagle has arrived, they've matched up well against Wesleyan.
Not sure which one is more in reach for them.
They HAVE to beat Hamilton; with it being their final NESCAC game of the season.
Hamilton wins - they have 4 league wins and the field is set.
Conn wins (plus beats 1 of the 2) and their 3 wins gets the head-to-head tie breaker over Hamilton.
Good year to be on the right side of a long bus trip.
If that all unfolded - it would make this a "not how you start, how you finish" type season for a Conn everyone thought would perform better.
I just hope that the Quarterfinal rounds have more early-season rematches (IE. Trinity @ Bowdoin) than repeats from the final 7-10 days.
Is Conn the NC State of the NESCAC???
