       This isn't correct. There are plenty of scenarios where both we
       and Monmouth win out, and we finish ahead of them. A Hofstra
       victory anywhere is key to that.
       Among them, if we win out, Delaware beats Drexel and Hofstra
       wins any game, we have the 6. And there are situations where we
       finish higher, albeit unlikely ones.

       Right, if we win out it would work. I was talking exclusively
       about the scenario at 10-8, should have clarified that a bit
       better.
