So the Bonnies took it on the chin last night. UMASS will get the 4th spot I believe. If VCU defeats Dayton tonight they will be 11-7 tied with UMASS but UMASS defeated VCU which I believe is the tiebreaker and we have 2nd . We could still tie with Richmond but would lose the tiebreaker and we could still tie with Dayton but would win the tiebreaker....Is that correct?? So we are in line to play in the 5pm game Thursday against the winner of the 7 Seed vs winner of 10 vs 15 and all those spots are still up for grabs. Looks like the only teams we would not have a chance to play in the first game would be RIchmond, UMass, Dayton,VCU,LaSalle,RI,Davidson and Fordham...St.Bonnies, Duquesne, St.Joes and George Mason could conceivably all end up at 9-9...My brain already hurts so someone can figure out that tiebreaker.

VCU is currently 11-6. If they win, they'd be 12-6 and get the 4. If they lose, UMass gets the 4.

You're correct. We're locked into the 2 seed.

Lots can still happen (7 games means 128 different possibilities), but here are teams that could finish at 7, 10, or 15 (in order from most to least likely):

7 seed: Bonnies, Duquesne, Mason, St. Joe's
10 seed: Fordham, LaSalle, Davidson
15 seed: George Washington, SLU, Davidson
