That would have saved me some time last night, lol.
So turns out our UNCW win only helps us in a 2-team tiebreaker.
In a 3-team tiebreaker, it's head to head among the three teams,
and we'd lose out on that one against Hofstra/Towson/Delaware.
Thus, in order for us to get the 6 seed, we need Monmouth to
lose BOTH at Hampton and Elon, so that only us and Delaware are
tied at 10-8 and our UNCW win holds supreme.

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.
